Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I'm Mary Meckley, and I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique on the podcast every single day.

And each technique is customized around a weekly theme.

And in today's episode, which is episode 685, you're going to be guided in a meditation

using a chakra meditation technique. So this meditation series is all about using meditation techniques when you're not meditating.

So this is going to be a mini meditation for you that you can do when you're not meditating.

I really encourage you to take the benefits of your meditation ritual into your

everyday life. And meditation techniques help you do this so beautifully. And so that's one of the

main reasons I share meditation techniques. And you can find all the different meditations and techniques over at my website

at SIP and Om.com.

And there you can go to the mini meditations series for this week and just look under the

resources and you'll find a private Facebook group

and when you click on that you can be invited to join our free private Facebook group where you

can do a weekly meditation challenge customized around the meditation theme.

So we're doing a mini meditation challenge this week where I'm challenging you to do a

meditation technique every day when you're not meditating.

So when you wake up in the morning, you could do a breathing technique or an affirmation.

That's what I do every morning. Even before I open my eyes, my head's still on the pillow,

and I just continue to lie there and kind of ease out of my bed. And I repeat an affirmation, the affirmation of the week, and I do the

weekly breathing technique.

And so for me, I look forward to this a lot because I do a different technique every day,

because I really like to keep my meditations dynamic and I like to have a weekly focus.
