| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1,157. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I honor you for giving yourself |
| 0:12.0 | your self permission. you for giving yourself permission to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. In today's episode you're going to be guided using a meditation technique |
| 0:30.7 | to help you manage life's storms. |
| 0:35.0 | And this is the very first episode in a seven-part series on Storms. I'm Mary Meckley and I share a different |
| 0:48.8 | meditation technique every day here on the podcast and the techniques are always |
| 0:56.2 | customized around a theme we explore in depth for a full week And I find this is the best way to really master a particular |
| 1:08.1 | quality in your life. When you allow yourself to experiment with different techniques throughout the week |
| 1:16.0 | to see what works best for you. |
| 1:20.0 | So as you get ready to settle yourself into your meditation, I want to share with you that this series was inspired because I recorded a meditation during a big thunderstorm we were having. |
| 1:42.2 | I live in Tampa, Florida and the name Tampa is actually |
| 1:48.1 | the name for lightning and the Kalusa Native American Indian tribe called this word Tampa |
| 2:01.4 | fire sticks and because that's what they call the |
| 2:06.1 | tremendous amount of lightning we get here in Tampa. In fact Tampa has more lightning strikes than anywhere else in the world, except for Botswana and Africa. |
| 2:20.0 | So during this storm, there was a lot of lightning going on and when I was recording the |
| 2:27.4 | meditation I just kept it all in I didn't edit anything out and so after the storm everything was quiet calm and I thought |
| 2:55.0 | I'd love to create a meditation series where the meditations are recorded with the sound of a storm in the background. And so there are two goals for this series. |
| 3:00.0 | The first goal is for you to navigate your own life storms. |
| 3:06.0 | Maybe a storm you happen to be going through or maybe you feel one is brewing. |
| 3:12.0 | To help you manage these storms. |
| 3:16.0 | And the second goal is simply to have you connect more with nature and to realize there is calm after the storm. |
| 3:30.0 | So as you get ready to do the technique, think about a storm that you feel you're currently experiencing or as I've mentioned a storm you feel is |
| 3:48.8 | early just bring that to your mind as you settle yourself in and start to calm your mind and body. |
