| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1,720. Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast. I'm Mary McLeckley and I honor you for giving |
| 0:11.6 | your self permission to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. In today's episode, you are going to discover a breathing |
| 0:27.8 | technique to help you calm your mind and body instantly. This is a breathing technique I do |
| 0:37.1 | every time I sit down to meditate. I've shared it |
| 0:41.1 | with you before in past episodes and it's so valuable that I thought I would share it again |
| 0:47.6 | as you explore this week's theme of friendship. |

| 2:15.7 | So friends in many cultures that are very transient like in the United States |
| 2:22.1 | where I live are replacing those family ties. And I notice this because I live in Florida, |
| 2:31.8 | but I'm from Washington State, |
| 2:36.3 | and most of my family is still there. |
| 2:41.0 | And so I find that I rely on my friends a great deal, |
| 2:47.7 | especially when it comes to support when I'm going through a difficult time. |
| 2:55.0 | I find my friends are actually a bigger part of my life than my extended family. |
| 3:02.9 | This might be the same for you. |
