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 our theme this week is resilience. It's all about using meditation techniques to help you tap into and

cultivate your own inner strength so that you have more confidence and can manage the

ups and downs of day-to-day life, especially if you're going through a particularly challenging

time. And at the very beginning of this meditation series, I shared with you a meditation

where two listeners are going through a pretty challenging time right now, and they wondered how they can build their

own inner strength and resilience to overcome their challenges. So this is an important meditation

series because I think that when you have confidence in yourself, you begin to have patience because you know that it's only

a matter of time before you get back on track, before you overcome this challenge.

And that gives you a lot of hope.

And if you don't have that inner resilience, you can just be where you feel wiped out by different life

events.

You feel like you just never recover from some events.

But with that inner resilience, you know there's hope.

You know that you've overcome many things in the past and you'll

overcome whatever comes your way in the future. So in today's episode, which is episode 629,

you're going to be guided using a mudra technique. This is for a Wednesday. Every Wednesday I share

a mudra. Now, if you're not sure what a mudra technique. This is for a Wednesday. Every Wednesday I share a mudra. Now, if you're not

sure what a mudra is, because I have to admit, I didn't even try mudras until I had meditated

for a decade. And I decided to give them a try. And I find that with many of you listeners,

you've reached out to me saying, you know, at first you didn't do the mudra meditations or the walking meditations.

Like I thought of eliminating those completely.
