Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast, episode 107.

Meditation isn't supposed to disrupt your day. It's supposed to be a part of it. The Daily

If you don't receive that, you can head over to www.sip and ome.com

What I want to say to you is that if you're here with me now,

congratulations, what you're doing is very important. In fact, the 15 minutes or so we spend

together today may just be the most important 15 minutes you spend all day because when you remove yourself from

the distractions of your day and you sit down and focus on yourself in whatever way you focus

every single day of the week I offer a different meditation technique.

But each technique is designed to help you in a certain way.

that we're actually focused weekly on a theme.

The theme for this week is to release anger and to manage your response to anger.
