| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different |
| 0:09.0 | meditation technique every single day customized around a weekly theme and our theme for this week in today's |
| 0:19.6 | episode which is episode six hundred and six |
| 0:24.0 | our theme is |
| 0:27.0 | the meditations of Marcus Aurelius |
| 0:30.0 | now Marcus Aurelius is a very historical figure. His book became a classic timeless book that people are still reading and seeking wisdom from. |
| 0:44.0 | He was a Roman emperor and he lived during AD 121 through 180. |
| 0:54.7 | And he wrote this not as a book to be published or dispersed and shared, he wrote this simply as a diary just reflections on life around |
| 1:08.6 | him he wrote it not as a Roman emperor he wrote it as a common man living in his time and you'll notice that |

| 2:35.5 | stops just meditate on your own meditate just to the point where you feel like |
