Speaker 1: Appote production. Hi. I'm Jennifer Cray. Welcome to your evening mantra.

2
00:00:18,201 --> 00:00:21,561
Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

3
00:00:21,601 --> 00:00:29,361
Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

4
00:00:29,441 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention

5
00:00:37,441 --> 00:00:44,801
Speaker 1: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your heart.

6
00:00:49,921 --> 00:00:54,481
Speaker 1: When you sow the seeds of an apple tree, it

7
00:00:54,521 --> 00:00:58,801
Speaker 1: won't grow up to be a cherry blossom, no matter

8
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,201
Speaker 1: how much you will it to be so, or trying

9
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,721
Speaker 1: it to be so. It will be an apple tree

10
00:01:08,881 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: in much the same way that you will grow up

11
00:01:12,441 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: to be you. You can try to be someone else, but

12
00:01:18,161 --> 00:01:24,881
Speaker 1: it may cause you stress and anxiety. It's wise to

13
00:01:24,961 --> 00:01:34,081
Speaker 1: develop your own innate nature, staying true to you, knowing

14
00:01:34,121 --> 00:01:42,081
Speaker 1: yourself deeply, and growing into your own personal qualities. Be you,

15
00:01:43,441 --> 00:01:54,881
Speaker 1: because everybody else is already taken. Today's mantra, I nourish

16
00:01:55,281 --> 00:02:02,921
Speaker 1: my natural essence. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or

17
00:02:02,961 --> 00:02:10,761
Speaker 1: in your mind. I nourish my natural essence. Follow us
