| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,358 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:06.4 | I'm Mary Mechley and welcome back, we are at day 4 of the series. |
| 0:12.9 | We're exploring this week. This week the theme is very special. |
| 0:18.3 | It's all about managing, compulsive, anxiety, and negative thoughts that lead to these fears. |
| 0:28.4 | These are often deep-seated fears and so throughout this week's series you have been |
| 0:35.6 | experimenting with and trying different meditation techniques to help you manage |
| 0:41.6 | anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder, OCD. This is the compulsion to do some repetitive |
| 0:54.9 | act or thought when you're experiencing anxiety. You may not suffer from OCD, |
| 1:03.5 | but many people do and many more people as they experience trauma and excessive stress |
| 1:12.6 | find that these are self-soothing types of rituals that you do that actually trigger your brain |
| 1:23.3 | in a particular way so that you almost can't stop yourself from doing this compulsive behavior. |
| 1:31.4 | If you know someone who suffers from OCD or who's experiencing trauma or stress, |
| 1:38.9 | please share this meditation series with them because you never know what might help someone. |
| 1:47.2 | We all could use a little extra help these days. In today's episode, you're going to be guided |

| 2:13.9 | the corresponding region of your brain. The mudra for this week is the Kubera mudra. |
| 2:20.8 | It's a simple mudra to do. I'll guide you on how to position your hands. You can rest them in your lab |
| 2:27.4 | as you hold this mudra. Also, if you're more visual, I share the mudra, a little video of me placing |
| 2:36.0 | my hands in the mudra on my SIP and OEM Instagram so you can see the mudra there. I also share |
| 2:45.4 | daily journal prompts for you there as well because I know we have a lot of journalists out there. |
| 2:52.0 | So this is a way for you to receive a daily journal prompt that goes right along with the series. |
