00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:17,721
Speaker 1: Approchie production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray. Post of your

2
00:00:17,801 --> 00:00:25,321
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Today's meditation explores growth and how transformation sometimes

3
00:00:25,321 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: requires release, not just effort. Your morning mantra, I honor

4
00:00:33,801 --> 00:00:37,041
Speaker 1: my growth, even when it changes my circle.

5
00:00:43,161 --> 00:00:48,081
Speaker 2: Let's begin, if it's safe to do so, close your

6
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:55,921
Speaker 2: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears,

7
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,881
Speaker 2: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders.

8
00:01:02,441 --> 00:01:14,081
Speaker 1: Down, and bring your attention to your breath, drawing your

9
00:01:14,121 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: breath down into your heart. Growth is beautiful, but it

10
00:01:23,041 --> 00:01:31,481
Speaker 1: can also feel lonely. As we evolve, people around us

11
00:01:31,881 --> 00:01:40,881
Speaker 1: may not understand. They may not celebrate the changes. They

12
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:48,401
Speaker 1: may be scared that we will leave them behind. Our

13
00:01:48,481 --> 00:01:57,641
Speaker 1: growing relationships can be lonely and difficult. Growth may mean

14
00:01:57,641 --> 00:02:10,001
Speaker 1: a shift in our values. Are reorganizing of priorities, redrawing

15
00:02:10,761 --> 00:02:23,841
Speaker 1: and strengthening boundaries. Our self awareness expands, and suddenly conversations

16
00:02:24,601 --> 00:02:36,001
Speaker 1: once tolerated, maybe even celebrated, feel heavy. Situations once aligned

17
00:02:37,441 --> 00:02:45,001
Speaker 1: no longer feel like so. This can bring about guilt

18
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: and grief, even questioning if growth is the right path.

19
00:02:57,361 --> 00:03:04,721
Speaker 1: Let's remember that growth is not betrayal. It is our

20
00:03:04,761 --> 00:03:13,921
Speaker 1: soul calling us forward. We can honor our future choosing

21
00:03:14,001 --> 00:03:24,641
Speaker 1: peace even if it changes our relationships. Today's mantra, I

22
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:31,241
Speaker 1: honor my growth even when it changes my circle. Repeat

23
00:03:31,281 --> 00:03:36,721
Speaker 1: to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. I

24
00:03:36,761 --> 00:03:45,881
Speaker 1: honor my growth, even when it changes my circle. Bringing

25
00:03:45,921 --> 00:03:52,401
Speaker 1: your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and out

26
00:03:52,881 --> 00:04:02,001
Speaker 1: of your heart space. May you be happy, May you

27
00:04:02,121 --> 00:04:09,641
Speaker 1: be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear,

28
00:04:10,361 --> 00:04:16,201
Speaker 1: and anxiety. And may your whole life be truly blessed.

29
00:04:19,761 --> 00:04:22,921
Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you.

30
00:04:25,561 --> 00:04:28,201
Speaker 2: And slowly opening your eyes.

31
