| 0:05.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | How are you doing? |
| 0:12.0 | We're nearing the end of our seven-part series this week, which is all |
| 0:17.1 | about the path to happiness following the ancient wisdom of the Stoics. The Stoics were all about being the best human you |
| 0:28.4 | could be, not only being your best to improve your own life, but by contributing to the greater good all around you and we're following the Stoics Seneca and the |
| 0:48.1 | former Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. Seneca was a former statesman and philosopher, |
| 0:55.8 | and he wrote plays during his time. |
| 0:59.6 | And in today's episode, I want to share with you a meditation on happiness. |
| 1:10.0 | And you will be asking yourself two pivotal questions that Seneca recommended you ask yourself every morning upon rising and I also want to share with you as I always do |
| 1:30.2 | in every Friday's episode, this is an episode for a Friday as I record this, and that is an herb that is customized and reflects the weekly theme. |
| 1:48.0 | So I've selected an herb that the ancient Greeks and Romans used quite extensively in their food as well as in a |
| 2:00.0 | tea. And so that's what you'll explore today. I'm Mary Meckley and I share a different |

| 2:20.0 | each technique is always customized around a theme we explore in depth for a full week and that |
| 2:28.1 | way you can really master a particular quality in your life. |
| 2:34.0 | And so as we continue with our series, |
| 2:38.0 | The Path to Happiness with the Ancient Wisdom of the Stoics, |
| 2:42.0 | let me begin with the herb. Now I'm going to be sharing with |
| 2:48.4 | you an herb that is probably in your kitchen cabinet. It's common. I'm sure you use the syrup a lot in |
| 2:56.7 | different foods you may eat, but I always want to say that you should check with your physician to make sure any herb you might steep in a tee is going to benefit you and not harm you, especially if you take medications or you're pregnant or |
| 3:17.0 | your nursing. So with that being said, don't be afraid of the herbs. |
