00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,041
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:18,161 --> 00:00:26,001
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Problems can overwhelm us. Today's meditation invites us

3
00:00:26,041 --> 00:00:29,801
Speaker 1: to consider different perspectives on the problem so that we

4
00:00:29,881 --> 00:00:37,961
Speaker 1: can alleviate our worries. Your morning mantra, what if what

5
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:49,881
Speaker 1: I'm worried about wasn't a problem? Let's begin. If it's

6
00:00:49,921 --> 00:00:54,121
Speaker 1: safe to do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze.

7
00:00:56,121 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax

8
00:01:05,601 --> 00:01:11,241
Speaker 1: your shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath.

9
00:01:16,961 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Drawing your breath to the space between your eyebrows. Bring

10
00:01:25,441 --> 00:01:34,041
Speaker 1: to mind something that causes worry, maybe the thought that

11
00:01:34,241 --> 00:01:46,201
Speaker 1: keeps resurfacing or the one that won't go away. Notice

12
00:01:46,241 --> 00:01:50,841
Speaker 1: the sensations arising in your body as you will allow

13
00:01:51,001 --> 00:01:58,641
Speaker 1: this worry to have airtime. As there is many different

14
00:01:58,681 --> 00:02:05,921
Speaker 1: stories to a situation, there are many different anger to

15
00:02:06,041 --> 00:02:13,161
Speaker 1: a problem, and there are just as many solutions and outcomes.

16
00:02:16,721 --> 00:02:25,721
Speaker 1: Imagine looking at the situation from another angle. What does

17
00:02:25,761 --> 00:02:33,761
Speaker 1: this situation teach us? What does it look like from

18
00:02:33,841 --> 00:02:41,761
Speaker 1: another point of view? Is there something that we could

19
00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:50,361
Speaker 1: be overlooking? How can we apply the benefit of the

20
00:02:50,481 --> 00:02:59,481
Speaker 1: doubt what else do we need to know so that

21
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:08,641
Speaker 1: we can make an informed decision. Imagine the worry dissolving

22
00:03:08,841 --> 00:03:18,921
Speaker 1: like mist in the morning, sun softening your chest on,

23
00:03:19,121 --> 00:03:30,041
Speaker 1: clenching your jaw, releasing your shoulders. Remember the many past

24
00:03:30,161 --> 00:03:42,281
Speaker 1: resolved challenges that you faced, and know that this one

25
00:03:42,921 --> 00:03:52,401
Speaker 1: will resolve as well. Today's mantra, what if what I'm

26
00:03:52,401 --> 00:03:59,241
Speaker 1: worried about wasn't a problem? Repeat to yourself, either out

27
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:04,401
Speaker 1: loud or in your mind, what if what I'm worried

28
00:04:04,441 --> 00:04:16,121
Speaker 1: about wasn't a problem. Bringing your awareness back to your breath,

29
00:04:19,361 --> 00:04:26,961
Speaker 1: breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

30
00:04:27,041 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: be happy, May you be well, May you be free

31
00:04:35,081 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may your whole

32
00:04:42,681 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the

33
00:04:49,921 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase

34
00:05:01,161 --> 00:05:06,561
Speaker 1: self awareness and growth. I invite you to listen to

35
