1 00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your 2 00:00:18,201 --> 00:00:24,441 Speaker 1: morning Mantra. Today's meditation invites us to soften our grip 3 00:00:26,081 --> 00:00:29,561 Speaker 1: and recognize that letting go is often an act of 4 00:00:29,641 --> 00:00:38,521 Speaker 1: faith and self trust. Your morning mantra, I release what 5 00:00:38,721 --> 00:00:48,641 Speaker 1: no longer serves me. Let's begin, if it's safe to 6 00:00:48,721 --> 00:00:54,801 Speaker 1: do so. Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax 7 00:00:54,881 --> 00:01:04,081 Speaker 1: your eyes, Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your 8 00:01:04,081 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing 9 00:01:15,681 --> 00:01:25,321 Speaker 1: your breath gently down into your heart, feeling its warmth. 10 00:01:28,881 --> 00:01:36,881 Speaker 1: Let each inhale, bring courage, and only exhale. Release attachment. 11 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:50,521 Speaker 1: We often hold tightly to habits, to people, to expectations, 12 00:01:52,681 --> 00:01:59,921 Speaker 1: to stories about who we should be, sometimes out of fear, 13 00:02:02,481 --> 00:02:09,401 Speaker 1: sometimes out of routine, sometimes because we don't yet know 14 00:02:10,281 --> 00:02:20,481 Speaker 1: who will become without them. Letting go creates space for 15 00:02:20,601 --> 00:02:35,201 Speaker 1: something new to enter, something aligned. Releasing is gentle. It 16 00:02:35,361 --> 00:02:49,081 Speaker 1: asks for honesty, for compassion, It requests grace. As we 17 00:02:49,201 --> 00:02:59,641 Speaker 1: let go, we make room for ease, for clarity for 18 00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:07,881 Speaker 1: the next gentle step forward. Today's mind, I release what 19 00:03:08,081 --> 00:03:15,321 Speaker 1: no longer serves me. Repeat to yourself, either out loud, 20 00:03:16,081 --> 00:03:21,721 Speaker 1: or in your mind. I release what no longer serves me, 21 00:03:25,921 --> 00:03:32,441 Speaker 1: bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and 22 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:42,321 Speaker 1: out of your heart space. May you be happy, may 23 00:03:42,321 --> 00:03:50,001 Speaker 1: you be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear, 24 00:03:50,761 --> 00:03:56,601 Speaker 1: and anxiety, and may your whole life be truly blessed. 25 00:04:00,161 --> 00:04:06,081 Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and 26 00:04:06,161 --> 00:04:15,241 Speaker 1: slowly opening your eyes to increase self awareness and growth, 27 00:04:16,601 --> 00:04:23,921 Speaker 1: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection.
