Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast. This is Mary Meckley and I honor you for showing up for yourself,

for giving yourself this time to connect to the best part of who you are. And this is episode

467. And in today's episode, you're going to be guided in a meditation

focusing on a chakra.

Now you never have to do the meditation technique I share with you.

You'll still benefit from the meditation, but I'm going to give you the option of focusing on a chakra.

Chakras are simply energy centers throughout your body

that harbor your emotions and your memories.

And so they're very effective at, I like to think of them as an inner roadmap.

And they're kind of like an inner roadmap to your soul.

Because once you get to know your chakras and work with them and notice how they influence your life,

then your life actually starts to make so much more sense.

So I'm just going to touch on your fourth chakra today, which is right there at your heart.

And it helps you to experience some of the most powerful emotions we have, love and gratitude.

And so this will be perfect for you because this week we are exploring the theme of joy of tapping

into your playfulness and your zest for life.

And many researchers recently have been studying play how it's just as hard or it's just as important to work at play

as it is to work hard to work hard. And so it's vital for you to enjoy your life, to have this

sense of playfulness because it really helps to put challenges in your life, to have this sense of playfulness, because it really helps to put challenges

in your life into perspective.

So every single episode in this week's seven-part series has been all about you experiencing ways to cultivate this joy in your life.

So I want to thank you if you join me for the Periscope meditation yesterday.
