| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 2,731 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Mechley and I invite you to |
| 0:11.4 | D5 of the series we're exploring this week. This week the theme is calm restless thoughts and in today's |
| 0:22.9 | episode you are invited to calm your mind and body. I'll be sharing with you as always key insight |
| 0:33.7 | that you can apply to your life right away to help you calm restless thoughts. If you're not |
| 0:42.3 | subscribed, please do so. This is for you to gain that all-important consistency so that you |
| 0:52.0 | receive the beautiful benefits of meditation. Consistency is key. As you get ready to settle yourself |
| 1:02.5 | down in a comfortable position to meditate. Just relax and open up to insight that's going to |
| 1:11.8 | enhance your life. Meditation is a lifestyle. It's not only about incorporating meditation techniques |

| 2:52.8 | Let go of worry, distractions, fears, self-doubt and if you could do this for an hour a day |
| 3:01.4 | that will provide you with so much insight as to what is the real chaos within your mind. |
| 3:12.4 | So again you might be experiencing a lot of stress but there are times when you can think |
