Today is Sunday, May 14, and because it is also Mother's Day

and Mental Health Awareness Month,

we teamed up with our friends at the Women's Meditation

Network, who are celebrating a big milestone of 100 million

downloads to create a special bonus episode

for the moms out there.

And really, anyone else who wants to find a few minutes

of calm in their weekend.

Studies have shown there are both psychological and physical

benefits of meditation, especially when

it comes to stress and anxiety.

So we hope this meditation you're about to hear

is a chance for you to take 15 minutes to yourself,

or even just five minutes, if that's all you have,

to forget about any responsibilities or to-dos or worries

and just relax and be.

We are going to begin in just a moment.
