Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I congratulate you for giving yourself permission to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are.

I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique every day on the podcast.

And each technique is customized around a weekly theme, so you get to explore a particular

topic in depth using a variety of very unique meditation techniques.

So I encourage you to be open-minded as you try some of these techniques because you never know what will work for you. And each series, this is a seven-part

week-long series, I offer a challenge, and you can find out about that challenge in our free private Facebook group.

That's over at my website at SIP and Om.com.

Just go to this week's meditation series. You can find all the meditations, a link to join

the free private Facebook group, all the references, and everything I refer to in this week's

series. Just go to the podcast section and you'll see all the podcasts I've ever created there. This happens to be episode 783, almost 800 meditations.

Well, as you explore this week's series, which is confidence, confidence mindset, you'll be guided using a chakra technique in this meditation

now don't be afraid of that word chakras chakras are you could think of them as energy centers

throughout your body and it's where you harbor emotions

and your feelings about different events and experiences that you've had in your life. And I like to

think of chakras as my inner guidance system.

And so I tap into it and I can notice where I'm needing a little bit of support.

It could be something that triggered an emotional response,

something that happened throughout the day that triggered that response.

And so I'll notice where I'm kind of feeling this and then I think about what chakra

this location is and that helps me to understand better and to process the emotion in a much better way.

So in today's meditation, you'll be guided using your first chakra.
