0:00.0	This is episode 1,945 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:08.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to our series we're exploring this week on the virtues.
0:17.0	You can hear in my voice that I'm still battling a cold,
0:21.0	but I'm happy to be here to record today's meditation technique for you and to share
