0:05.0	Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:08.0	How are you doing today?
0:10.0	I hope you're doing well as we continue with our series on sleep. This whole week we are
0:17.6	exploring nighttime rituals to help you sleep better and as always we're including a meditation technique every
0:26.6	single day a different one that you can do to help yourself sleep better. I'm Mary Meckley and in today's episode you're going to
