You are listening to the Daily Meditation Podcast, episode 176.

Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast. I'm Mary Megley, and I want to congratulate you

for giving yourself permission to slow down and connect with the best part of who you are.

And in today's meditation, we launch into a seven-part meditation series, and the theme for

this week is relax.

So you're going to be guided every single day this week through meditation techniques

to help you relax.

Every week at the daily meditation podcast, we explore a different theme so you can go back and take a look at some of the other themes that we've explored and find one that resonates with you and dive into the different meditations.

Now I organize these themes to take place within a week because I like to focus on one theme for a week so that you

can take it in in many different ways.

And when you explore a different meditation technique every single day, these intentions that you have around the theme really absorb deeply into you

on many different levels. And I want to tell you that I honor you for what you're doing for

yourself because I know how hard it is to give yourself this time.

And as we explore this relaxation meditation, you'll be guided today in a visualization

meditation. Visualizations are incredibly powerful. And you may be, if you're following me in sequence, if not, no worries.

You can listen to these meditations in any order that you want. But it happens to be the holiday

season right here and where I live in the United States. And a lot of different holidays happen in the month of

December all over the world.

And this happens to be the week of Black Friday.

So every Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S., all these sales take place, and your inbox has probably

been loaded with all kinds of emails announcing different sales, and you can get some really

great buys.
