00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:15,401
Speaker 1: Appoche production. Hi, I'm Jennifer Cray. Welcome to your evening mantra.

2
00:00:19,121 --> 00:00:23,561
Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

3
00:00:23,601 --> 00:00:33,601
Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

4
00:00:33,641 --> 00:00:42,361
Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention

5
00:00:43,241 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your belly.

6
00:00:53,881 --> 00:00:59,361
Speaker 1: You can truly never know another because you will never

7
00:00:59,681 --> 00:01:08,521
Speaker 1: experience the world from their perspective. We can only try

8
00:01:08,561 --> 00:01:21,121
Speaker 1: our best to understand, to listen, and empathize. For instance,

9
00:01:22,321 --> 00:01:25,921
Speaker 1: you and I can agree that an apple is read.

10
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I know what the experience of read is for me,

11
00:01:35,401 --> 00:01:39,721
Speaker 1: but I will never know your exact experience of bread,

12
00:01:43,081 --> 00:01:51,201
Speaker 1: how red looks or feels to you. Thankfully, we have

13
00:01:51,321 --> 00:01:58,041
Speaker 1: a common language of bread, and therefore we can have

14
00:01:58,081 --> 00:02:04,161
Speaker 1: a similar understanding. But I still will never know for

15
00:02:04,281 --> 00:02:12,761
Speaker 1: sure how red is for you. This is true of

16
00:02:12,801 --> 00:02:21,001
Speaker 1: all perspectives between us. We meet in the middle, compromise

17
00:02:21,561 --> 00:02:29,761
Speaker 1: and empathize. We can be compassionate towards others perspectives and

18
00:02:29,881 --> 00:02:41,441
Speaker 1: experiences because we can appreciate it is different for them.

19
00:02:41,601 --> 00:02:50,801
Speaker 1: Today's mantra, I am understanding and compassionate towards others. Repeat

20
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,241
Speaker 1: to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. I

21
00:02:57,281 --> 00:03:06,841
Speaker 1: am understanding and compassionate towards others. Follow us on Instagram
