1 00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:16,361 Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your 2 00:00:16,441 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: Morning Mantra. It's important to grieve the loss of a 3 00:00:21,441 --> 00:00:29,081 Speaker 1: pet and to remember and honor their memory. Today's meditation 4 00:00:29,601 --> 00:00:36,561 Speaker 1: is dedicated to Aggie's family. Your Morning Mantra, I carry 5 00:00:36,561 --> 00:00:40,161 Speaker 1: their spirit in my heart and honor their memory with 6 00:00:40,361 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: kindness and grace. Let's begin, if it's safe to do so. 7 00:00:48,161 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, 8 00:00:55,521 --> 00:01:03,321 Speaker 1: Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down, 9 00:01:05,161 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your breath 10 00:01:11,081 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: to your heart, allow the image of your beloved pet 11 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,241 Speaker 1: to arise in your heart. Feel the warmth of their presence, 12 00:01:26,521 --> 00:01:33,481 Speaker 1: their gentle spirit, Feel the quiet comfort of their companionship, 13 00:01:36,721 --> 00:01:46,601 Speaker 1: their unwavering love. It's natural to feel sadness, to wish 14 00:01:46,761 --> 00:01:52,041 Speaker 1: they were still here. Grief is the echo of love, 15 00:01:53,841 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: a testament to the bond you shared. Imagine a soft 16 00:02:00,881 --> 00:02:10,041 Speaker 1: light surrounding your pet's memory. Hold it gently in your heart. 17 00:02:13,761 --> 00:02:21,721 Speaker 1: This light is love. It doesn't fade with time, it 18 00:02:21,761 --> 00:02:30,641 Speaker 1: doesn't disappear with distance. The heart grows around it, surrounding 19 00:02:31,561 --> 00:02:40,001 Speaker 1: and nourishing the memory and grief. Holding both love and 20 00:02:40,121 --> 00:02:46,641 Speaker 1: sadness at the same time. We can trust that the 21 00:02:46,721 --> 00:02:53,001 Speaker 1: love remains and we can always find it here in 22 00:02:53,041 --> 00:03:00,081 Speaker 1: our hearts. When the physical form is gone, the spirit 23 00:03:00,121 --> 00:03:09,561 Speaker 1: of love remains in our heart's memory. Today's mantra, I 24 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,881 Speaker 1: carry their spirit in my heart and honor their memory 25 00:03:14,041 --> 00:03:21,601 Speaker 1: with kindness and grace. Repeat to yourself, either out loud 26 00:03:22,401 --> 00:03:27,521 Speaker 1: or in your mind, I carry their spirit in my 27 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:36,121 Speaker 1: heart and honor their memory with kindness and grace. Bringing 28 00:03:36,121 --> 00:03:40,561 Speaker 1: your awareness to your breath and back to the space 29 00:03:40,601 --> 00:03:47,961 Speaker 1: around you.
