00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:18,201
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of you

2
00:00:18,281 --> 00:00:22,921
Speaker 1: on morning Mantra. When we truly connect with another person,

3
00:00:23,921 --> 00:00:29,841
Speaker 1: being fully present, open and engaged, we can see our

4
00:00:29,881 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: shared humanity. Today's meditation is about recognizing this deep connection

5
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: and how it dissolves judgment, prejudice, and inequality. Your morning mantra,

6
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:58,561
Speaker 1: I honor our shared humanity. Let's begin.

7
00:01:00,521 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

8
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: lower your gay. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

9
00:01:13,081 --> 00:01:20,321
Speaker 2: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention

10
00:01:21,441 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your heart.

11
00:01:34,681 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: Pictures sitting across from someone. It could be a friend,

12
00:01:41,961 --> 00:01:49,801
Speaker 1: a stranger, or someone you've struggled to understand. Imagine you

13
00:01:49,881 --> 00:02:04,041
Speaker 1: were both fully present. You are listening, seeing, feeling. Imagine

14
00:02:04,081 --> 00:02:10,361
Speaker 1: gently holding their gaze, seeing them through the window of

15
00:02:10,481 --> 00:02:19,041
Speaker 1: their souls. Notice what is shared between you, the right

16
00:02:19,121 --> 00:02:30,081
Speaker 1: to be safe, to be seen, to be loved. In

17
00:02:30,121 --> 00:02:39,921
Speaker 1: this presence of shared humanity, our differences shrink away. There

18
00:02:40,001 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: is no space for hate or racism, inequality or discrimination.

19
00:02:49,841 --> 00:02:56,121
Speaker 1: There is only connection. Every one of us carries the

20
00:02:56,161 --> 00:03:05,241
Speaker 1: same beating heart, the same human need for belonging. We

21
00:03:05,321 --> 00:03:11,601
Speaker 1: practice honoring this. We live in a kinder, fairer, and

22
00:03:11,721 --> 00:03:20,961
Speaker 1: more united world. Today's mantra, I honor our shared humanity.

23
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,601
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind.

24
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:39,121
Speaker 1: I honor our shared humanity. Bringing your awareness back to

25
00:03:39,161 --> 00:03:45,521
Speaker 1: your breath, breathing in and out of your heart space.

26
00:03:50,321 --> 00:03:57,601
Speaker 1: May you be happy, may you be well, May you

27
00:03:57,681 --> 00:04:05,721
Speaker 1: be free from stress, worry, fear and anxiety. And may

28
00:04:05,761 --> 00:04:12,921
Speaker 1: your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back

29
00:04:13,241 --> 00:04:19,401
Speaker 1: to the space around you and slowly opening your eyes

30
00:04:24,121 --> 00:04:29,681
Speaker 1: to increase self awareness and growth. I invite you to
