| 0:00.0 | This is Episode 1057. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I honor you for being exactly |
| 0:09.6 | where you are as you get ready to slow down. Whether you listen to this episode as you're seated |
| 0:18.0 | getting ready to meditate or out doing errands or maybe even getting ready to drift off to sleep, |
| 0:25.1 | it's all good. I'm Mary Mechley. I share a different meditation technique every single day |
| 0:32.7 | in the podcast here. And each technique is customized around a weekly theme so you can explore |
| 0:41.0 | topic in depth. And this week our theme is Ancient Wisdom for Your Modern Life. So in each |
| 0:52.0 | episode you've explored how to use ancient techniques right in the midst of your busy modern |
| 1:01.9 | life. And in today's episode you're going to use a technique I think you'll find handy |
| 1:08.3 | and it is a sleeping technique from the Dalai Lama. So it's a technique that he does and I read his book |
| 1:19.4 | called The Art of Happiness. He's written many books but this was a book that he co-authored |
| 1:28.2 | with someone who was writing about his life. And in the book he shared many fantastic techniques |
| 1:36.6 | and this was one of them. Now just in case you're not sure who the Dalai Lama is, |
| 1:46.2 | he is the 14th Dalai Lama and he's also the leader of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. |
| 1:59.1 | And here's a little ancient wisdom for you. So the current Dalai Lama, he is considered to be |
| 2:09.8 | the spiritual leader of Tibet. And in 1959 China annexed Tibet and the Dalai Lama has been in |
| 2:23.9 | exile in Daramsala India ever since. So he's still considered the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism |
| 2:35.3 | but he continues to do this in exile. He escaped with his life from Tibet when the Chinese invaded |
| 2:49.3 | Tibet and many Tibetan monks were not so fortunate. Thousands were executed and many of the ancient |
| 3:02.8 | works of Tibetan Buddhism and the monasteries were destroyed. So his mission is to spread joy |
| 3:13.9 | and happiness throughout the world. So you may be interested in the book that he wrote The Art of |
| 3:22.3 | Happiness. In that book he shares many useful techniques that I do on a regular basis including |
| 3:32.8 | the breathing technique I'll share with you today. Now to do this breathing technique is simple. |
