00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:17,481
Speaker 1: Approachie production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of you

2
00:00:17,521 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: are morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores rest and how it

3
00:00:24,601 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: supports resilience and sustainability. Your morning mantra rest is a

4
00:00:34,801 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: productive choice. Let's begin if it's safe to do so.

5
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,801
Speaker 2: Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

6
00:00:53,480 --> 00:01:01,481
Speaker 2: relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders.

7
00:01:01,001 --> 00:01:12,401
Speaker 1: Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your

8
00:01:12,401 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: breath down into the belly, we can get carried away,

9
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:30,961
Speaker 1: measuring our worth through our output to the detriment of

10
00:01:31,041 --> 00:01:41,201
Speaker 1: our well being. Allowing for rest and rejuvenation means that

11
00:01:41,241 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: when the effort is required, it can be more effective

12
00:01:49,641 --> 00:01:54,961
Speaker 1: burnout comes if we continue to give and give and

13
00:01:55,041 --> 00:02:05,641
Speaker 1: give without giving ourselves downtime. Let's take this time right

14
00:02:05,721 --> 00:02:21,441
Speaker 1: now to rest, paying attention to the breath, feeling the

15
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:31,081
Speaker 1: cool air as it enters the nostrils and the warm

16
00:02:31,161 --> 00:02:43,841
Speaker 1: air as it leaves. Simply staying with this breath sensation.

17
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: Even a micro rest such as this, can do much

18
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: for effective effort and better outputs. Today's mantra. Rest is

19
00:03:11,321 --> 00:03:19,161
Speaker 1: a productive choice. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or

20
00:03:19,161 --> 00:03:30,601
Speaker 1: in your mind. Rest is a productive choice, bringing your

21
00:03:30,641 --> 00:03:37,561
Speaker 1: awareness back to your breath, breathing in and out of

22
00:03:37,601 --> 00:03:47,201
Speaker 1: your heart space. May you be happy, may you be well,

23
00:03:50,281 --> 00:03:58,201
Speaker 1: May you be free from stress, worry, fear and anxiety,

24
00:03:58,361 --> 00:04:04,681
Speaker 1: and may your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing you
