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 here on the podcast.

And each technique is customized around a weekly theme. And in today's episode, which is 637, you're going to be guided using a couple of the

different meditation techniques that we've explored throughout this week. Now, our weekly

theme for this week is a little bit different from what I usually share. I wanted to share with you meditations

to promote positive gene expression. And I really wanted to share this topic with you because

I'm fascinated by it. I've been researching how meditation helps promote positive gene expression and all the other ways that meditation

benefits your health, mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, you name it. And so I have

dedicated this week's series to sharing little meditation tips from research that you can do very easily

to help you gain all these amazing benefits of your meditation ritual. I want you to know what a good

thing you're doing for yourself and that you're not just wasting your time by sitting down,

closing your eyes and you may wonder what you're supposed to be thinking about,

you know, what do you do when your mind wanders and you feel fidgety and you start to cramp

in your leg or whatever may be the case.

I share meditation techniques because I have found personally,

and from working with hundreds of different clients,

that meditation techniques help you to focus your mind

and that leads you into a meditation where you can experience stillness.

If you just sit down and instantly try to go into a meditation where you're reaching for that inner stillness,

it's pretty hard to do.

It's much easier if you allow yourself to transition by using a meditation technique.

Now there are some meditation techniques that are very all-encompassing and the entire meditation

is all about the technique and you might practice this for a month or two or even six months
