1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:17,201
Speaker 1: Approachie production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray. Most of you

2
00:00:17,241 --> 00:00:23,761
Speaker 1: are mourning mantra. Today's meditation explores urgency and how calm

3
00:00:23,841 --> 00:00:27,641
Speaker 1: can change the way we respond when pressure is present.

4
00:00:30,401 --> 00:00:40,921
Speaker 1: Your morning mantra, I respond with calm instead of urgency.

5
00:00:41,801 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Let's begin.

6
00:00:44,361 --> 00:00:48,001
Speaker 2: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

7
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

8
00:00:56,881 --> 00:01:04,161
Speaker 2: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention

9
00:01:05,281 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your belly.

10
00:01:18,401 --> 00:01:28,481
Speaker 1: Urgency often arise loud and panicky, demanding an immediate response.

11
00:01:31,121 --> 00:01:40,521
Speaker 1: Notice where urgency shows up, whether a certain place, a situation,

12
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:50,481
Speaker 1: a domain of life, work or relationships, maybe around decisions

13
00:01:53,001 --> 00:02:03,361
Speaker 1: or expectations. Urgency can narrow our vision, limit our options.

14
00:02:06,201 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: I invite you to wait thirty minutes before responding. When

15
00:02:16,201 --> 00:02:27,721
Speaker 1: we slow our response, we create room for clarity, for

16
00:02:27,841 --> 00:02:42,761
Speaker 1: wise decisions that arise from a wider vision. Sometimes we

17
00:02:42,881 --> 00:02:50,641
Speaker 1: may find that the urgency has completely dissolved by the

18
00:02:50,680 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: time the thirty minutes is up. Today's mantra, I respond

19
00:03:01,001 --> 00:03:11,041
Speaker 1: with calm instead of urgency. Repeat to yourself, either out

20
00:03:11,161 --> 00:03:19,841
Speaker 1: loud or in your mind. I respond with calm instead

21
00:03:19,841 --> 00:03:34,321
Speaker 1: of urgency, bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing

22
00:03:34,361 --> 00:03:42,161
Speaker 1: in and out of your heart space. May you be happy,

23
00:03:44,281 --> 00:03:52,161
Speaker 1: may you be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear,

24
00:03:52,921 --> 00:03:58,761
Speaker 1: and anxiety, and may your whole life be truly blessed.

25
00:04:02,321 --> 00:04:08,241
Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and

26
00:04:08,321 --> 00:04:17,441
Speaker 1: slowly opening your eyes to increase self awareness and growth,

27
00:04:18,761 --> 00:04:26,121
Speaker 1: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You

28
00:04:26,121 --> 00:04:29,081
