Summary
Be guided in an affirmation meditation based on the classic book, Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, who was a Roman emperor who ruled from 161-180 A.D. You'll be guided using an affirmation to love your life exactly as it is. His reflections are based on Stoic philosophy which emphasizes living a peaceful life by practicing self control to attain inner peace by overcoming adversity, and honoring your true nature -- not forcing yourself to be a particular way. This is so aligned with how I share meditation so I'm excited about this week's series. This is part 2 of a 7-Part Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Episodes 604-610. 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 a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique every single day customized around a weekly theme. And our theme this week is a little bit different from what I normally share on the podcast. |
| 0:22.4 | And we are in episode 605 today. |
| 0:28.2 | Well, the theme happens to revolve around the book of meditations by Marcus Aurelius, who was a very famous Roman emperor, way back in AD 121 through 180. |
| 0:47.3 | And he wrote down his reflections, not as an emperor of Rome at the time, but rather as a common man. |
| 0:58.8 | He wrote down his reflections of life, and he never intended these to become public. |
| 1:04.8 | They were discovered later after his death and published, and his reflections have become a classic book. |
| 1:13.9 | And their insight into the very popular stoicism of the time have been very powerful. |
| 1:23.0 | And it's not the kind of book that you can really sit down and read all in one sitting because each |
| 1:30.1 | statement is so profound. It's almost as if you need to reflect a little bit on each statement. |
| 1:38.9 | So I've gone through his book very slowly and reflectively and that's what made me decide to create a meditation |
| 1:48.6 | series for you. And so what I'll be doing this week is I'll be sharing with you a quote |
| 1:56.7 | that I thought was interesting and then I'll be customizing a meditation around that quote |
| 2:03.7 | and I'll still be going through the different meditation techniques that I always share with you |
| 2:09.6 | each day so as today is a Monday as I record this for you we'll do an affirmation. |
| 2:18.3 | So let me go ahead and read to you the quote for today. |
| 2:26.3 | Now Stoas, if you're not familiar with it, it is actually emerging as quite a popular movement today as well, |
| 2:36.7 | especially among entrepreneurs and business people. |
| 2:40.6 | And it has to do with becoming your best self, doing what's right, |
| 2:47.9 | and finding inner peace, even in an often chaotic world by using your best judgment |
| 2:56.9 | and acting morally. |
| 2:59.5 | So in a way it's accepting what comes your way and accepting it still with hope, accepting it as it's just part of life, this is what life is about. |
| 3:15.3 | People experience these different emotions. We all experience them. There's no need to become so caught up in them. So it's a very interesting perspective, |
