1 00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281 Speaker 1: Approche production. 2 00:00:15,161 --> 00:00:18,961 Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your Morning Mantra. 3 00:00:20,681 --> 00:00:24,281 Speaker 2: We often meet people in passing a moment here, a 4 00:00:24,361 --> 00:00:28,961 Speaker 2: conversation there, without truly knowing what their lives hold behind 5 00:00:28,961 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: closed doors. Today's meditation explores the power of getting to 6 00:00:34,561 --> 00:00:42,921 Speaker 2: know others better. Your morning mantra I open with a 7 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:51,681 Speaker 2: caring and genuine curiosity. Let's begin. 8 00:00:53,641 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or 9 00:00:57,321 --> 00:01:06,121 Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax 10 00:01:06,161 --> 00:01:13,401 Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention 11 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:24,361 Speaker 1: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your heart space. 12 00:01:27,081 --> 00:01:34,401 Speaker 2: Every person we meet carries a story we can't see, 13 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:45,281 Speaker 2: a quiet struggle, a hidden grief, a tender hope, a 14 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:56,921 Speaker 2: private battle behind the customary I'm fine, maybe heartbreak, worry, confusion, 15 00:01:57,361 --> 00:02:06,281 Speaker 2: or pain. Asking gentle questions can build bridges, a way 16 00:02:06,361 --> 00:02:12,361 Speaker 2: of saying, I want to hear more of your story. 17 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,521 Speaker 2: When we choose to be more curious, we become more understanding, 18 00:02:21,481 --> 00:02:29,881 Speaker 2: more tolerant of other people's situations, spreading goodwill and kindness 19 00:02:32,361 --> 00:02:39,081 Speaker 2: in a world that can feel cold and transactional. Leading 20 00:02:39,121 --> 00:02:48,121 Speaker 2: with genuine curiosity opens our minds and our hearts. It 21 00:02:48,201 --> 00:02:55,401 Speaker 2: invites acceptance and warmth into our days, a spark of 22 00:02:55,481 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: recognition of being heard and understood, a shared moment of understanding. 23 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:15,601 Speaker 2: Curiosity is powerful. It can change someone's day, It can 24 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:23,441 Speaker 2: change us. Today's mantra, I open with a caring and 25 00:03:23,561 --> 00:03:29,761 Speaker 2: genuine curiosity. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in 26 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:38,601 Speaker 2: your mind. I open with a caring and genuine curiosity, 27 00:03:41,001 --> 00:03:47,561 Speaker 2: bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and 28 00:03:47,641 --> 00:03:57,401 Speaker 2: out of your heart space. May you be happy, May 29 00:03:57,441 --> 00:04:05,001 Speaker 2: you be well, May you be free from stress, worry, fear, 30 00:04:05,881 --> 00:04:10,481 Speaker 2: and anxiety, and may your whole. 31 00:04:10,201 --> 00:04:11,681 Speaker 1: Life be truly blessed. 32 00:04:15,241 --> 00:04:21,201 Speaker 2: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and 33 00:04:21,281 --> 00:04:30,361 Speaker 2: slowly opening your eyes to increase self awareness and growth. 34 00:04:31,721 --> 00:04:39,041 Speaker 2: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection.
