00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:14,641
Speaker 1: Approache production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:14,721 --> 00:00:21,441
Speaker 1: morning Mantra. Today's meditation is about being gentle in our

3
00:00:21,481 --> 00:00:32,481
Speaker 1: approach and perspective. Let's speak in your morning mantra. I

4
00:00:32,641 --> 00:00:40,161
Speaker 1: tread gently. If it's safe to do so, close your

5
00:00:40,161 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears,

6
00:00:53,921 --> 00:01:03,841
Speaker 1: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your

7
00:01:03,881 --> 00:01:12,521
Speaker 1: attention to your breath, drawing your breath up to the

8
00:01:12,601 --> 00:01:23,121
Speaker 1: crown of your head. For some of us, the voice

9
00:01:23,241 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: in our heads can be harsh and demanding. This can

10
00:01:33,241 --> 00:01:43,841
Speaker 1: internalize becoming the voice from our throats towards not only ourselves,

11
00:01:45,081 --> 00:01:56,721
Speaker 1: but to others. It can manifest in our minds, our perspectives,

12
00:01:56,761 --> 00:02:07,961
Speaker 1: and assumptions. Thinking harsh and demanding I can find a

13
00:02:08,041 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: home in our bodies, living within us, eroding and sickening

14
00:02:18,841 --> 00:02:26,401
Speaker 1: our very. Being the opposite is often what we need

15
00:02:29,081 --> 00:02:37,561
Speaker 1: to tread gently to be soft, flexible, whenever we can

16
00:02:37,601 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: remember to to bring an awareness to harshness and demands,

17
00:02:51,481 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: and then to move gently with intention from there. Today's

18
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:09,041
Speaker 1: my job. I tread gently. Repeat to yourself, either out

19
00:03:09,121 --> 00:03:17,001
Speaker 1: loud or in your mind. I tread gently. Follow us
