1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:17,761
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:17,801 --> 00:00:23,241
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Our relationship with our body often becomes conditional.

3
00:00:24,561 --> 00:00:30,201
Speaker 1: Today's meditation welcomes us back into our bodies, a safe,

4
00:00:30,481 --> 00:00:37,961
Speaker 1: sacred home. Your morning mantra, my body is my home.

5
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,161
Speaker 1: Let's begin. If it's safe to.

6
00:00:44,161 --> 00:00:50,241
Speaker 2: Do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

7
00:00:50,321 --> 00:01:00,481
Speaker 2: your eyes, Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders.

8
00:01:00,041 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Draw your

9
00:01:07,961 --> 00:01:15,481
Speaker 1: breath into your belly. As we age, our bodies may

10
00:01:15,521 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: feel more pain, or we may feel let down, thinking

11
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,961
Speaker 1: we can't do the things that we used to, or

12
00:01:26,961 --> 00:01:35,241
Speaker 1: maybe our body is experiencing disease or is inflamed. This

13
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,521
Speaker 1: can cause us to suffer, clinging to what was wishing

14
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: it were some other way, less pain, more easeful, less sick,

15
00:01:51,281 --> 00:02:04,761
Speaker 1: more healthy. Our bodies are our home, our vessel of life.

16
00:02:04,881 --> 00:02:09,201
Speaker 1: We judge it good or bad is beside the point.

17
00:02:12,361 --> 00:02:17,601
Speaker 1: Only acceptance for what is right now will bring peace,

18
00:02:20,361 --> 00:02:26,761
Speaker 1: an unconditional love for our body, which has carried us

19
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: since birth and will continue to carry us until the end.

20
00:02:35,161 --> 00:02:43,321
Speaker 1: Today's mantra, my body is my home. Repeat to yourself,

21
00:02:43,841 --> 00:02:49,321
Speaker 1: either out loud or in your mind. My body is

22
00:02:49,401 --> 00:02:57,281
Speaker 1: my home, bringing your awareness to your breath and back

23
00:02:57,601 --> 00:03:04,161
Speaker 1: to the space around you. Slowly open your eyes to

24
00:03:04,281 --> 00:03:08,481
Speaker 1: increase self awareness and growth. I invite you to listen

25
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,921
Speaker 1: to this evening's reflection. You can also deepen your practice
