00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,001
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:18,081 --> 00:00:25,041
Speaker 1: Morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores growth and how letting go

3
00:00:25,881 --> 00:00:33,001
Speaker 1: can create space for what truly matters. Your morning mantra,

4
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:44,081
Speaker 1: I direct my energy towards what matters most. Let's begin,

5
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: if it's safe to do so.

6
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

7
00:00:55,241 --> 00:01:03,201
Speaker 2: Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders.

8
00:01:02,761 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: Down, bring your attention to your breath, drawing your breat

9
00:01:13,721 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: down into your heart. Healthy and beautiful plants grow by pruning,

10
00:01:28,441 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Removing what grows too far from the core, removing what

11
00:01:35,881 --> 00:01:44,521
Speaker 1: doesn't bear fruit or flower, Removing what grows awkwardly or

12
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:52,121
Speaker 1: out of sync. In our own lives, we often carry

13
00:01:53,041 --> 00:02:06,601
Speaker 1: the same wayward or unfruitful branches, commitments, habits, thoughts, and relationships.

14
00:02:09,481 --> 00:02:18,321
Speaker 1: Some once made sense and others never truly did. Consider

15
00:02:18,401 --> 00:02:27,801
Speaker 1: what requires energy without growth, what asks for attention but

16
00:02:27,881 --> 00:02:40,761
Speaker 1: gives little in return. Pruning is self care, a healthy practice,

17
00:02:42,321 --> 00:02:52,441
Speaker 1: ensuring that nourishment goes to what is meaningful, valuable, focusing

18
00:02:52,601 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: energy so that it is life giving and fulfilling. Letting

19
00:03:01,561 --> 00:03:07,801
Speaker 1: go can feel uncomfortable, but it can create the emptiness

20
00:03:09,361 --> 00:03:20,161
Speaker 1: required for strong, purposeful growth. Today's mantra, I direct my

21
00:03:20,361 --> 00:03:28,041
Speaker 1: energy towards what matters most. Repeat to yourself, either out

22
00:03:28,081 --> 00:03:33,961
Speaker 1: loud or in your mind. I direct my energy towards

23
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:43,761
Speaker 1: what matters most. Bringing your awareness back to your breath,

24
00:03:47,001 --> 00:03:54,601
Speaker 1: breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

25
00:03:54,681 --> 00:04:02,361
Speaker 1: be happy, may you be well, May you be free

26
00:04:02,681 --> 00:04:10,681
Speaker 1: from stress, worry, and anxiety, and may your whole life

27
00:04:10,761 --> 00:04:17,881
Speaker 1: be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the space

28
00:04:17,921 --> 00:04:29,041
Speaker 1: around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase self

29
00:04:29,081 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: awareness and growth, I invite you to listen to this

30
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,960
