Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I honor 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 trainer who shares a different meditation technique every single day on the podcast and each technique is customized around a weekly theme so you get to explore a

particular topic in depth so you can really master different challenges in your life. Well in today's meditation you're

going to be guided using a breathing technique. Every Tuesday I share a breathing technique. Every Tuesday I share a breathing technique and our theme for this week is

Inner Stillness.

How to go into your own inner stillness. And this is important

because as we've explored from the beginning of this seven-part series.

This is episode number three of this series.

We've explored how to feel stillness within your body and that isn't always so easy to do.

We often focus on, oh, I'm feeling distracted, or I'm feeling a little tense, or I'm feeling

stressed. But I doubt that you say to yourself, oh, I'm feeling stillness, or oh, I'm feeling peace.

You might feel that cause you're

you're focusing on different feelings that cause you to be stressed.

And of course, when you focus on something,

it just becomes a bigger part of your life.

And so if you focus on stillness and peace within your body, you'll start to notice it.

So if you can challenge yourself this week to just take a few moments throughout your day,

even if you set an alarm to go off a few times throughout your day and focus on stillness.

When your alarm goes off just sit and notice where there's stillness in your body.

Also you could notice where there's stillness in your thoughts.
