Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast. This is Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher

who shares a different meditation technique every single day customized around a weekly theme.

And in today's episode, which is episode 581, you're going to be guided in a meditation, combining and layering the different

meditation techniques we've explored in this week's goal setting meditation series as we

launch into a brand new year.

And I also will share the benefits of an herbal tea with you.

So every Friday, I call it SIP and Om Friday because I share tea and meditation.

And I like to layer the different meditation techniques we've explored

throughout the week into one meditation on Fridays. That way you can kind of see how things

can really go together as you meditate. So you have this beautiful meditation with these different techniques that you can use, all-in-one meditation.

And then tomorrow, which is a Saturday, that will be the last episode in this goal-setting series.

And I always share a walking meditation on Saturdays. I like you to get outside and to

connect with nature around you. And it's a way to reward yourself for all the hard work

you've been doing throughout this whole week. Well also this week as I share goal setting with you,

I've been sharing what I happen to do, my own personal habits that I do every day and that I also share with clients.

And that's where I have a theme for each day.

Now, of course, I have themed meditation techniques that I share with you on the podcast,

but you may have wondered where I get those meditation techniques.

And I've customized different meditation techniques according to what my personal focus is for the day.

And on Friday, I always include just fun, something fun and new,

Fun Friday.

And I know that might sound kind of corny, but what I found is that we can be so focused on what we're trying
