00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,161
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of Your

2
00:00:18,281 --> 00:00:24,401
Speaker 1: Morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores how acceptance creates the foundation

3
00:00:24,561 --> 00:00:34,521
Speaker 1: for genuine love for ourselves, for others, for life. Your

4
00:00:34,841 --> 00:00:39,961
Speaker 1: morning mantra, I accept what is so love can enter.

5
00:00:45,721 --> 00:00:50,601
Speaker 2: Let's begin if it's safe to do so. Close your

6
00:00:50,601 --> 00:00:58,441
Speaker 2: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, Relax your ears,

7
00:01:00,401 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders dead.

8
00:01:07,121 --> 00:01:16,401
Speaker 1: And bring your attention to your breath, drawing your breath

9
00:01:16,481 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: down into your heart. Before love comes acceptance, accepting what

10
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: is before us wholeheartedly, with open arms and minds. Acceptance

11
00:01:39,521 --> 00:01:48,921
Speaker 1: isn't about agreeing. It isn't about approval or fixing. When

12
00:01:48,921 --> 00:02:01,361
Speaker 1: we are non accepting, we build walls, we resist, we judge.

13
00:02:02,641 --> 00:02:12,041
Speaker 1: Love becomes conditional acceptance for what is is pure presence,

14
00:02:15,321 --> 00:02:19,881
Speaker 1: allowing oneself to be written and rewritten in each moment,

15
00:02:22,601 --> 00:02:28,441
Speaker 1: and allowing the same for others, Accepting each moment for

16
00:02:28,561 --> 00:02:34,641
Speaker 1: what it brings, and the next moment and the next

17
00:02:37,841 --> 00:02:43,761
Speaker 1: just being with and opening to the flow of compassion

18
00:02:44,201 --> 00:02:54,641
Speaker 1: and love, leading to joy. Unconditional love because love can

19
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:04,761
Speaker 1: only be where true acceptance lives. Today's mantra, I accept

20
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,281
Speaker 1: what is so? Love can enter? Repeat to yourself, either

21
00:03:10,321 --> 00:03:15,801
Speaker 1: out loud or in your mind. I accept what is so?

22
00:03:16,001 --> 00:03:25,641
Speaker 1: Love can enter, bringing your awareness back to your breath,

23
00:03:28,881 --> 00:03:36,481
Speaker 1: breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

24
00:03:36,561 --> 00:03:44,161
Speaker 1: be happy, may you be well, May you be free

25
00:03:44,601 --> 00:03:52,161
Speaker 1: from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may your whole

26
00:03:52,201 --> 00:03:59,401
Speaker 1: life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the

27
00:03:59,441 --> 00:04:10,601
Speaker 1: space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase

28
00:04:10,681 --> 00:04:16,081
Speaker 1: self awareness and growth, I invite you to listen to
