0:00.0	This is episode one thousand ninety. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast and welcome back to another episode where we're focusing this week on a theme.
0:19.1	And our theme is Sunrise Meditations. These are meditation techniques to help you start your day and throughout this series
0:30.5	you're discovering breathing techniques, affirmations, even dipping into chakras and
0:37.8	moodras, which may be new for you, and visualizations and all kinds of meditation techniques to help you start your day.
0:49.0	And research shows that when you focus with intention on your day, and you focus on what you want that day to look like and what your challenges might be, that you have a much better day. You feel overall
1:09.7	focused with more energy and you feel more at peace and you have clarity.
1:16.4	So it's worth taking even a few minutes every morning to start your day the right way with intention the way you want the day to evolve.
1:29.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I share a different meditation technique every day here on the
1:36.2	podcast and each technique is customized around a theme we explore for a full week and we do this so that you can really master a
1:47.8	particular quality in your life. The technique for today is all about gratitude. Starting your day with
2:00.4	gratitude. It's a powerful way to start your day. It's also a powerful way to

2:20.4	where you live. You may even wake up well before the sunrise. I know I do. I like to sit outside
2:29.3	when it's dark, it's quiet, and I light a candle and I meditate outside. You might want to try this where you live as long as you feel safe and you can do this pretty easily.
2:47.0	If not, stay in your meditation space in your home,
2:52.0	but I recommend that you open a window or door, and the more you
2:56.4	could let the outdoors in, the more it's going to feel real intangible what your intention is for the day. So try this.
3:09.4	Try sitting outside with the sunrise as you do the meditations this week.
3:17.0	So you're going to be guided using a moodra. And you don't have to do the moodra if you're not really sure
3:28.1	what a moodra is or what that's all about. Moodos are a way you position your hands,
3:35.2	and they're very similar to yoga or acupuncture or acupressure
3:39.3	or acupressure.
