| 0:20.0 | This is 1,286. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I hope you are enjoying the day and we continue with our series on Quiet, where you are creating your own Quiet quest. |
| 0:35.0 | In today's episode, you're going to discover some insight as to what it means to be quiet in the world today. |
| 0:42.3 | And I will share with you a meditation technique you can do as you settle yourself into your meditation today. |
| 0:48.0 | Of course you can always do these techniques, whether you are seated meditating or going about your day, maybe doing the dishes or walking |
| 0:59.3 | through the grocery store, whatever you might be doing, you can still do these techniques. |
| 1:07.0 | That's the beauty of meditation techniques. They are portable. |

| 2:54.4 | The word personality didn't exist in English |
| 2:58.9 | until the 18th century, |
| 3:01.6 | and the idea of having a good personality was not widespread until the 20th century. |
| 3:10.5 | So if you find that you may be an introvert in a currently extroverted world, take heart in knowing that you are expressing the qualities of character. |
| 3:31.6 | And I think this makes sense when you do meditate because those are the qualities you draw out when you meditate. |
| 3:40.0 | When you meditate, you could say you tap into the best part of yourself. |
