Summary
Be guided in a meditation to empower yourself by combining many of the different meditation techniques we've explored in this week's Believe In Yourself Meditation Series. You'll also discover the health benefits of skullcap tea. If you are enduring prolonged stress, skullcap is a beneficial tea to sip. It all starts in your mind first. No matter what action you take to achieve your goals, you must first have total clarity about why you are setting the goal in the first place. Using meditation to achieve your goals is a powerful way to enjoy the journey of achieving all that you want in life. This is part 5 of a 7-Part GOAL SETTING Meditation Series, Episodes 499-505. As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm so honored that you're here. |
| 0:09.8 | And I especially honor you if you're new to meditation and you finally got started. |
| 0:20.2 | I know it can really take a lot of effort to be new to meditation and to start to become consistent with it. |
| 0:28.6 | So I want to encourage you to hang in there. |
| 0:31.6 | Well, in today's episode, which is episode 504, you're going to be guided in a meditation to help you focus. |
| 0:44.3 | This meditation will give you clarity and that's what this meditation series is all about this week. |
| 0:53.3 | It's actually about setting goals to be |
| 0:57.0 | productive. But in order to do that, you need a lot of clarity before you begin. In fact, |
| 1:05.0 | it's really tough to follow through with your goals unless you have a lot of clarity before you even start |
| 1:14.8 | off pursuing your goal. So let's get you settled in and ready to meditate. Now this is is a Friday, and every single Friday at the Daily Meditation podcast, I share an |
| 1:34.4 | herbal tea for you. |

| 1:56.0 | herb isn't so exotic, but it might be one that you're new to. It is one that I've recommended |
| 2:02.5 | before on the podcast, and sometimes herbs are just so good that I want to recommend them again |
| 2:11.4 | and again to you because I really encourage you to try this herb. And the herb is skullcap. And I know that's kind of an odd name for an |
| 2:21.0 | herb. It doesn't sound very appetizing to be sipping a cup of skullcap. But I want to let you know a little bit about |
| 2:29.1 | where skullcap got its name. Skull cap is a flower that grows pretty rampant in the northeastern part of the United States. |
| 2:41.0 | And the early settlers that came here, I happen to live in the eastern part of the U.S., |
| 2:49.0 | the early settlers that came to this part of the country thought |
| 2:55.2 | that the flower of skullcap resembled the caps that soldiers at that time wore on their heads. |
| 3:05.6 | So that's where it gets its name, skull cap. The cap they wore was called |
