Summary

Combine the soothing sounds of water with a review of your week, celebrating your big wins and noticing where you could improve -- without shame, or blame.

The soothing sounds of water can help you to gently detach from the evaluations of the mind, allowing for a more spacious and compassionate review of your experiences.

As you settle in, allow yourself to get comfortable. There is no need to force anything; simply allow yourself to be guided. Allow the sound of the water to accompany you as you reflect on the past week.

THIS WEEK'S THEME: 

In this week's meditation series, you'll immerse yourself in the tranquil essence of water, an element that has captivated and calmed humanity since the dawn of time. From the gentle ripple of a stream to the vast expanse of the ocean, water embodies fluidity, adaptability, and peace. Through guided visualizations and mindful awareness, you'll explore how the sounds, sights, and sensations of water can soothe your mind, release tension, and restore a sense of inner harmony. Journey through diverse watery landscapes, discovering the profound calming effects that this life-giving element offers.

This is episode 1,521. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you.

0:14.2

This is for a Saturday's episode as I record this and you are in the final day of our seven-part series on beach

0:27.4

meditations and you are awesome for giving yourself this time to relax your mind and body.

0:41.8

These have been meditations for you to take a break from the mundane tasks that you might do day in and day out and to treat yourself as if you were going to

1:01.7

the beach or going on a vacation. Some of you actually are on vacation, I've heard from, but for many of you, you are going about your daily life.

1:16.3

2:30.1

relationships, their relationship secret or success, had to do with the small, consistent,

2:40.8

daily interactions, the connection.

2:48.7

And so when you go to the beach or a mountain retreat or somewhere where you relax,

2:57.8

you go to connect with yourself. You go to get back in touch with how you feel when you're feeling good.

3:09.9

And so that's what these people did who were in happy relationships.

3:17.7

They greeted their partners each day and spent time with them each day as a way to connect to that best part of themselves.
