1 00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281 Speaker 1: Approche production. 2 00:00:15,041 --> 00:00:18,961 Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning Mantra. 3 00:00:20,361 --> 00:00:23,601 Speaker 2: We can often complain to others about our aches and pains. 4 00:00:24,681 --> 00:00:28,601 Speaker 2: Today's meditation is an invitation to accept and be present 5 00:00:30,681 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 2: your morning mantra. I accept the body as it is 6 00:00:36,441 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: and be with the present moment. 7 00:00:43,441 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: Let's begin, if it's safe to do so. Close your 8 00:00:48,361 --> 00:00:56,961 Speaker 1: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, Relax your ears, 9 00:00:58,121 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down, bring your attention 10 00:01:06,921 --> 00:01:17,881 Speaker 1: to your breath, bringing your attention to your body. 11 00:01:18,681 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: Notice any pain or discomfort. We may complain about our 12 00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: agges and pains to ourselves and to others, experiencing our 13 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: pain as if we would live forever. But there's another 14 00:01:43,681 --> 00:01:48,401 Speaker 2: way of looking at this. We could come to the 15 00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:52,921 Speaker 2: perspective that since we were born, we have been in 16 00:01:52,961 --> 00:01:57,761 Speaker 2: the process of dying, and coming from this point of view, 17 00:01:59,281 --> 00:02:05,441 Speaker 2: we might feel different about the aches and pains. If 18 00:02:05,481 --> 00:02:09,401 Speaker 2: we knew we were in the last moments of our life, 19 00:02:10,001 --> 00:02:14,481 Speaker 2: would we be in complaint of our bodies or would 20 00:02:14,481 --> 00:02:18,361 Speaker 2: we want to be available and present to those around us, 21 00:02:21,161 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: Aware and present to our thoughts. How much pain and 22 00:02:27,441 --> 00:02:34,201 Speaker 2: suffering would we pay attention to if we just thought 23 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,081 Speaker 2: it was part of the process. What we pay attention 24 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:46,921 Speaker 2: to is a choice. Today's mantra I accept the body 25 00:02:47,081 --> 00:02:54,001 Speaker 2: as it is and be with the present moment. Repeat 26 00:02:54,001 --> 00:02:59,401 Speaker 2: to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. I 27 00:02:59,481 --> 00:03:03,201 Speaker 2: accept the body as it is and be with the 28 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:15,761 Speaker 2: present moment. Bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing 29 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:23,601 Speaker 2: in and out of your heart space. May you be happy, 30 00:03:25,721 --> 00:03:33,641 Speaker 2: may you be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear, 31 00:03:34,401 --> 00:03:40,201 Speaker 2: and anxiety, and may your whole life be truly blessed. 32 00:03:43,761 --> 00:03:49,681 Speaker 2: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and 33 00:03:49,801 --> 00:03:58,881 Speaker 2: slowly opening your eyes to increase self awareness and growth. 34 00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:07,561 Speaker 2: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection.
