| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,226 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:06.8 | I'm Mary Mechley and welcome back to day 5. |
| 0:11.2 | We are midweek in our series and I wonder how you're doing with your quest this week. |
| 0:17.6 | If you're new here every week we do a challenge where you go on a quest to take you a little |
| 0:24.2 | more deeply into today's theme. |
