| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1,112. |
| 0:05.0 | Welcome to the Daily Guided Meditation. |
| 0:09.0 | And welcome to another episode in our series or exploring this week on laying the |
| 0:19.2 | foundation for your inner life. and in today's episode you're going to be guided using a |
| 0:28.0 | meditation technique for hope. Hope is powerful because hope keeps you going is what gets you up out of bed in the morning and keeps you striving for more. |
| 0:49.1 | Without hope, there's not much to strive for. And without hope, nothing else really seems to matter. So hope is one of the most important qualities you could cultivate. |
| 1:10.0 | And in this week's series, we're following St. Francis's prayer for peace. |
| 1:19.4 | Because in his prayer for peace, he really hits on all the different qualities that we all try to cultivate |
| 1:29.8 | in our lives. |
| 1:31.4 | And your challenge for this week is to create your own inner creed or own |
| 1:39.0 | inner mission statement for peace for your inner life just as St. Francis did |
| 1:49.6 | with his prayer for peace. So regardless of your religious faith or |
| 1:56.2 | spirituality, I think most people agree that this prayer for peace that he wrote way back in the 12th century is pretty beautiful |
| 2:09.8 | in its simplicity. |
| 2:12.2 | So I'm going to read through the prayer for you and I'll read |
| 2:18.0 | through until we come to the quality we're focusing on that he mentions, which is hope. |
| 2:26.4 | And I'm Mary Meckley, I share a different meditation technique every day on the podcast and I always customize the techniques around the |
| 2:38.0 | weekly theme and that way you can really master a particular quality in your life. |
| 2:45.0 | So you're not just sitting down randomly meditating, you're focusing on improving your life in some way and when you focus on it every day for a week that can become pretty powerful and you're more likely to start seeing results. |
| 3:07.6 | So whether you're going to do this technique seated as you meditate or walking around doing errands or maybe |
| 3:18.3 | you're lying down getting ready to drift off to sleep. It's all good. We all slow down in our own way. We all start somewhere. |
| 3:30.0 | So honor where you are on your slowdown journey. |
