Welcome to the daily meditation podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation

teacher who shares a different meditation technique every day on the

podcast and I share different techniques because you can use

meditation techniques whether you're seated on your meditation cushion and

your favorite meditation place or you can use these techniques right in the midst

of your busy hectic day when stress triggers can seem to come at you from all directions. So meditation techniques I find for myself

and from many others that reach out to me and that I work with, meditation

techniques can become indispensable throughout your day.

Well, every meditation technique is customized around a weekly theme and our theme this week is detox your thoughts.

How to shift your focus

just a more expansive enlightened version of yourself.

So in this week's meditation series,

you're not necessarily going to be releasing or getting rid of anything

per se that will happen naturally you never want to force yourself in meditation and I encourage that throughout your life in different

areas of your life that you approach.

And so as you approach detoxing your thoughts, you're going to be simply expanding yourself, pursuing activities, people, and different choices for yourself that support you and that are heading

you in the direction you want to go.

So this I find works much better than trying to go about your day,

oop, I just had a negative thought and you know kind of chastising yourself or trying to replace that

negative thought really quickly with a positive affirmation I really find that that doesn't work so well it can work and be effective but I find

that it's better to focus on what you want. Don't focus on what you don't want, what you want to get rid of, focus on what you want

for yourself.
