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 based on the weekly theme. So each

meditation technique that I share each day is customized around a theme that we explore in depth for one week.

And in today's meditation, which is episode 620, you're going to be guided using a breathing technique.

This is for Tuesday's meditation, and every Tuesday I share a customized technique. This is for Tuesday's meditation and every Tuesday I share a customized

breathing technique. And in our theme this week, we are exploring, letting go, relaxing and

letting go. It's so easy to be caught up in the demands of day-to-day life

and all the distractions, the stress, the overwhelm, whatever dramas happen to be playing out in your life

and even if you find that you're on other people's agendas, not really focused on what means

most to you, this week's theme is going to provide you with meditation techniques that

you can use while you're meditating as I guide you through the meditations, and also, perhaps

most importantly, meditation techniques that

you can use whether you're meditating or not you can use these techniques when you're in the

busiest part of your day when you run into that person who just zaps the energy out of you

when you have a hard time

just moving forward with something you want, and maybe you're just really irritated, you're

standing in line at the grocery store, whatever it may be, you can use these meditation

techniques to help you. So for today's breathing technique, what I'm going to do is I'm going to guide you where you're

able to relax different areas of your body and notice where you're holding stress.

We do this every time we meditate together.

It's that important to really notice where you're holding on to stress.

And it's different each day.
