| 0:04.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast |
| 0:08.0 | and I honor you for being here, for showing up for yourself, for giving yourself this time to |
| 0:17.2 | slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. I'm Mary Meckley and in today's episode you'll |
| 0:28.8 | discover how to layer several meditation techniques together for your meditation today and I'll also share with you an herb that goes along with this week's theme. We explore a different |
| 0:50.5 | meditation technique in every single episode and the |
| 0:56.3 | techniques each day are customized around a theme we explore for a full week and you also get an herb that you might benefit from as you |
| 1:10.6 | explore the theme. Our theme we've been exploring this week is mastering uncertainty. |
| 1:19.2 | And so I'll share with you how to put together the different techniques such as an affirmation, |
| 1:31.0 | a breathing technique, a moodra how to use these techniques together in |
| 1:39.6 | your meditation today. Now remember these same techniques can be used throughout |
| 1:46.7 | your day so you can take them into your day-to-day life. So let me start off with the herb. As always you want to check with your physician |

| 2:19.9 | So the herb for this week is geranium. |
| 2:24.7 | geraniums you may see hanging in a potted plant |
| 2:31.5 | outside your home. These can be made into a tea and geranium benefits you in many ways. |
| 2:44.0 | It's a soothing tea and it helps to calm anxiety. |
| 2:50.0 | It also helps to balance hormones. It relieves stress and it does this by reducing inflammation and improving circulation that helps to reduce blood pressure. |
| 3:07.5 | So you can see that this would be a greater as you explore this week's series because uncertainty causes so much fear and as you're anticipating the future and the uncertainty it holds, you can experience a lot of stress. So remember the |
| 3:38.7 | herbs can be used as a similar way as meditation techniques. |
| 3:45.0 | So that would be a lot of fun to sip geranium tea as you meditate |
