1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281
Speaker 1: Approche production.

2
00:00:15,041 --> 00:00:18,761
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning Mantra.

3
00:00:20,241 --> 00:00:23,961
Speaker 2: Today's meditation is about understanding that pain is a part

4
00:00:24,001 --> 00:00:29,681
Speaker 2: of life and recognizing that all suffering is not the same.

5
00:00:31,561 --> 00:00:35,361
Speaker 2: There is meaningless pain, and there is sacrifice that gives

6
00:00:35,481 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: life depth. Your mourning mantra, I choose to suffer for

7
00:00:44,161 --> 00:00:54,681
Speaker 2: what matters. Let's begin, if it's safe to do so.

8
00:00:55,321 --> 00:01:00,961
Speaker 1: Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

9
00:01:02,681 --> 00:01:10,441
Speaker 1: relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down,

10
00:01:12,321 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: and bring your attention to your breath, drawing your breath

11
00:01:21,761 --> 00:01:23,601
Speaker 1: down into your belly.

12
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:35,281
Speaker 2: There is no life without pain, no path without hardship,

13
00:01:39,161 --> 00:01:48,561
Speaker 2: no journey without stumbles. The truth is is that we

14
00:01:48,641 --> 00:02:01,121
Speaker 2: will experience suffering. Some suffering is empty, the stress of comparison,

15
00:02:04,241 --> 00:02:12,481
Speaker 2: the weight of resentment, the ache of running away from yourself.

16
00:02:16,001 --> 00:02:27,441
Speaker 2: This is pain without purpose. Some suffering is worthwhile, the

17
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: effort of growth, the sacrifice of love, the discipline of

18
00:02:37,881 --> 00:02:52,561
Speaker 2: building something. This pain carries meaning. It shapes us, It

19
00:02:52,641 --> 00:03:03,841
Speaker 2: teaches us. It causes us to go deep within to

20
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:14,641
Speaker 2: see our truth. When we choose our struggles, we choose

21
00:03:14,721 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: who we become. When we give our pain to something worthwhile.

22
00:03:26,041 --> 00:03:37,641
Speaker 2: It becomes a sacrifice, not waste. Today's mantra, I choose

23
00:03:37,681 --> 00:03:46,521
Speaker 2: to suffer for what matters. Repeat to yourself, either out

24
00:03:46,561 --> 00:03:51,841
Speaker 2: loud or in your mind. I choose to suffer for

25
00:03:51,921 --> 00:04:04,561
Speaker 2: what matters. Bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing

26
00:04:04,601 --> 00:04:11,801
Speaker 2: in and out out of your heart space. May you

27
00:04:11,881 --> 00:04:19,601
Speaker 2: be happy, may you be well, May you be free

28
00:04:19,921 --> 00:04:27,481
Speaker 2: from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may your whole

29
00:04:27,521 --> 00:04:34,721
Speaker 2: life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the

30
00:04:34,761 --> 00:04:45,921
Speaker 2: space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase

31
00:04:46,001 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: self awareness and growth, I invite you to listen to

32
00:04:51,481 --> 00:04:58,001
Speaker 2: this evening's reflection. You can also deepen your practice with
