00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:18,121
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:18,201 --> 00:00:24,961
Speaker 1: Morning Mantra. Today's meditation is an opportunity to reflect on

3
00:00:24,961 --> 00:00:30,201
Speaker 1: the previous year, to gain clarity on what is shedding

4
00:00:30,641 --> 00:00:35,801
Speaker 1: and staying behind in the Year of the Snake, and

5
00:00:35,881 --> 00:00:39,681
Speaker 1: what we're bringing with us forward into the Year of

6
00:00:39,721 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: the Horse. Your morning mantra, I release what has ended.

7
00:00:53,601 --> 00:00:57,081
Speaker 1: Let's begin. If it's safe to.

8
00:00:57,001 --> 00:01:03,121
Speaker 2: Do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

9
00:01:03,161 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders.

10
00:01:12,881 --> 00:01:23,841
Speaker 1: Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your

11
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:33,961
Speaker 1: breath down into your heart. Bring to mind the year

12
00:01:34,721 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: that was twenty twenty five. Reflect on times of survival

13
00:01:43,441 --> 00:01:56,561
Speaker 1: and suffocation, of pretending and performing, times when you felt

14
00:01:56,601 --> 00:02:11,041
Speaker 1: small or dimmed. Light to be accepted. What here needs

15
00:02:11,041 --> 00:02:23,441
Speaker 1: to shed Bring your awareness to bonds, bonds held together

16
00:02:24,001 --> 00:02:39,401
Speaker 1: by guilt, habit, or convenience. What has expired, what is broken?

17
00:02:41,561 --> 00:02:55,001
Speaker 1: What needs to change? Reflect on outgrown dreams, misaligned identities,

18
00:02:58,081 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: stagnant goals. If it's still consider it complete. It is

19
00:03:11,921 --> 00:03:29,881
Speaker 1: part of the shedding. Reflect on emotions of grief, rage, fear, exhaustion.

20
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:44,161
Speaker 1: These emotions came up to be felt and acknowledged. Not

21
00:03:44,321 --> 00:03:52,801
Speaker 1: to break us, but to inform, Like a snow globe

22
00:03:52,921 --> 00:04:00,001
Speaker 1: that's just been shaken. Allow these reflections to float and

23
00:04:00,041 --> 00:04:11,641
Speaker 1: then settle. Bring your to your breath, grateful for the

24
00:04:11,721 --> 00:04:18,361
Speaker 1: knowledge and the clarity. As we bring this year to

25
00:04:18,481 --> 00:04:28,361
Speaker 1: a close. Today's mantra, I release what is ended. Repeat

26
00:04:28,361 --> 00:04:33,841
Speaker 1: to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. I

27
00:04:33,921 --> 00:04:44,081
Speaker 1: release what is ended, bringing your awareness back to your breath,

28
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:54,921
Speaker 1: breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

29
00:04:55,001 --> 00:05:02,601
Speaker 1: be happy, May you be well, May you be free

30
00:05:03,041 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may your whole

31
00:05:10,641 --> 00:05:17,841
Speaker 1: life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the

32
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:29,041
Speaker 1: space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase

33
00:05:29,121 --> 00:05:34,520
