| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1173. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Mary Meckley and I share a different meditation technique every day here on the podcast and each technique is always |
| 0:16.0 | customized around the theme we explore for a full week so you can really master |
