| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1118. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast and welcome to another edition as we continue |
| 0:11.1 | along our series all about happiness where you are issued a |
| 0:18.0 | happiness challenge. If you're just joining us, no worries. You can jump in on any episode and you haven't missed a thing. |
| 0:30.0 | The only thing for you to do is to select an area of your life where you're not experiencing too much happiness. |
| 0:45.0 | And focus on this area as you do today's meditation technique. |
| 0:52.0 | And if you continue with us in this series this |
| 0:56.5 | week, every single day you'll discover a new meditation technique to help you improve happiness in this one area of your life. |
| 1:09.0 | And I'm Mary Meckley. I share a different meditation technique every day on the |
| 1:16.5 | podcast and each technique is always customized around a theme we explore for a full week. That way you can learn to |
| 1:27.4 | really master a particular quality in your life. So consider this area of your life you're focusing on.

| 3:52.2 | achievement of it. |
| 3:55.0 | So, the technique I'm going to share with you today |
| 4:00.0 | involves having the option to do a moodra. |
| 4:05.0 | And a moodra is a way you hold your hands. |
