0:00.0	This is episode 1, 132.
0:04.0	Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:08.0	And I honor you for giving yourself this time to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are.
0:19.4	I'm Mary Meckley and I share a different meditation technique every day on the
0:24.2	podcast. Each technique is customized around a theme we explore for a full week

2:09.1	moodra with a mouthful of a name. It's called the Vajra Pradama
2:15.0	Mujah.
2:16.4	And to do this Mujah, you'll rest your hands on your lap,
2:21.9	or if you're standing, just hold your hands at your chest or at your
