00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,561
Speaker 1: Approchie production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of you

2
00:00:18,601 --> 00:00:25,041
Speaker 1: are morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores the influence of our

3
00:00:25,081 --> 00:00:30,481
Speaker 1: attention and how choosing to nurture the beneficial and the

4
00:00:30,481 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: benevolent can gently weaken the forces that undermine our peace.

5
00:00:39,081 --> 00:00:46,241
Speaker 1: Your mourning mantra, I strengthen the positive and release the negative.

6
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,081
Speaker 1: Let's begin, if it's safe to do so. Close your

7
00:00:57,121 --> 00:01:05,161
Speaker 1: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, Relax your ears, yes,

8
00:01:06,881 --> 00:01:14,121
Speaker 1: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your

9
00:01:14,121 --> 00:01:24,481
Speaker 1: attention to your breath. Draw on your breath to the

10
00:01:24,481 --> 00:01:36,241
Speaker 1: crown of your head. Our attention is powerful. What we

11
00:01:36,441 --> 00:01:47,801
Speaker 1: nourish grows stronger. What we withdraw energy from gradually weakens.

12
00:01:52,561 --> 00:02:01,161
Speaker 1: Each day, we encounter moments that uplift, encourage, and inspire.

13
00:02:05,081 --> 00:02:14,881
Speaker 1: Also moments that drain, undermine, or disturb our balance. We

14
00:02:15,041 --> 00:02:26,761
Speaker 1: hold a quiet power, the ability to choose where our

15
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:38,841
Speaker 1: attention rests. We can choose to accentuate the positive, the beneficial,

16
00:02:41,601 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: and the benevolent. When we strengthen what supports us, kindness expands,

17
00:02:56,561 --> 00:03:09,841
Speaker 1: hope seems near. Gratitude is easy to feel without even

18
00:03:09,921 --> 00:03:18,441
Speaker 1: paying attention to it. The negative and the harmful begins

19
00:03:18,441 --> 00:03:29,761
Speaker 1: to loosen and unravel, like shadows fading as the light

20
00:03:30,321 --> 00:03:41,841
Speaker 1: grows brighter. Today's mantra, I strengthen the positive and release

21
00:03:42,481 --> 00:03:52,321
Speaker 1: the negative. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in

22
00:03:52,361 --> 00:03:59,841
Speaker 1: your mind. I strengthen the positive and release the negative,

23
00:04:05,841 --> 00:04:12,361
Speaker 1: bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and

24
00:04:12,481 --> 00:04:22,241
Speaker 1: out of your heart space. May you be happy, may

25
00:04:22,281 --> 00:04:29,961
Speaker 1: you be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear,

26
00:04:30,681 --> 00:04:36,521
Speaker 1: and anxiety, and may your whole life be truly blessed.

27
00:04:40,081 --> 00:04:46,001
Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and

28
00:04:46,121 --> 00:04:55,201
Speaker 1: slowly opening your eyes to increase self awareness and growth.

29
