Summary
Be guided in a meditation to focus your thoughts. In this meditation you'll be guided as you learn how to focus your thoughts. We launch into a brand new meditation series on Focus. You'll discover scientific findings on the comparison of brain imaging of meditators and non-meditators, and how the brains of meditators were able to tame tame wandering thoughts.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique every day customized around a weekly theme. And in today's episode, which is episode 596, you're going to be guided as we launch into a brand new meditation |
| 0:27.1 | series on Focus. |
| 0:29.8 | And this was the theme for the year that many of the people in our private meditation Facebook group over at |
| 0:40.4 | sipanome.com which you are welcome to join it's a free private Facebook group |
| 0:45.5 | that goes along with the podcast and at the beginning of the year we selected a |
| 0:51.3 | theme for the whole year some focus that would help define the year. |
| 0:57.0 | And many people chose the word focus. |
| 1:01.0 | Many people chose the word balance, and we did a balanced meditation series last week. |
