Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I congratulate you for giving yourself

permission to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher who

shares a different meditation technique every day on the podcast,

and each technique is customized around a weekly theme.

So you get to explore a particular topic in depth using all kinds of meditation techniques

to help you manage your reaction to different stress

in your life. And all the different meditation techniques as well as the meditations and any

resources or references I point you to can be found over at my website at sip and ome.com.

That's S-I-P like sipping tea, A-D-O-M dot com.

And if you go to the podcast tab in the navigation bar there, you will find all the different meditation series

and take a look at this week's series and everything will be waiting for you there

and while you are there if you go into the resources section you will see how you

can join our free private Facebook group, which is absolutely free.

And we'd love to have you join us there.

And this is where we meet with meditators from around the world who listen to the meditations just like you do.

And you can find inspiration, ask questions, connect with others,

and participate in our weekly meditation challenges customized around our weekly theme.

Let's go ahead and get started on this week's theme.

In today's guided meditation, you are going to be guided using a chakra meditation technique.

Now, if you've never done a chakra meditation, please don't feel intimidated by that word. Chakras are simply energy

centers throughout your body where you harbor your emotions and all the different memories

you've had. And you never have to do the meditation technique that I share with you in the different meditations.
