Speaker 1: Approache production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:17,921 --> 00:00:23,441
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Today's meditation is an invitation to extend compassion

3
00:00:23,521 --> 00:00:33,561
Speaker 1: inward and outward your mourning mantra. Compassion flows through me.

4
00:00:39,921 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: Let's begin, if it's safe to do so, close your

5
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:52,681
Speaker 1: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears,

6
00:00:54,601 --> 00:01:01,801
Speaker 1: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your

7
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: attention to your breath. Drawing your breath down into the heart,

8
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:30,241
Speaker 1: feel its steady rhythm. Compassion begins with us when we

9
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: meet ourselves with kindness. Our capacity to love expanse. Bring

10
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:51,081
Speaker 1: your attention to current struggles or challenges, and offer yourself grice,

11
00:01:54,481 --> 00:02:09,361
Speaker 1: a gentle smile, a forgiving word. Now imagine the compassion

12
00:02:10,321 --> 00:02:21,441
Speaker 1: radiating outward to those you love, to strangers, even to

13
00:02:21,561 --> 00:02:29,881
Speaker 1: those who challenge you, bringing about an empathy for their

14
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:42,721
Speaker 1: current struggles and challenges. And when meeting people, letting go

15
00:02:42,841 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: of judgment, allowing for chrice, knowing that we are all

16
00:02:52,081 --> 00:03:06,121
Speaker 1: struggling together. Today's mantra, Compassion flows through me. Repeat to yourself,

17
