Summary
Feel more consciously present and less distracted by what's happening around you. Feel more connected to your inner truth.
THIS WEEK'S THEME: "The Art of Enough: Finding Peace in Moderation"
This 7-day meditation series explores the Yama of Brahmacharya, traditionally interpreted as continence, but more broadly understood as moderation and the responsible use of energy. This series aims to help you cultivate balance in all aspects of your life—physical, mental, and emotional. Each day builds upon the previous one, guiding you to integrate Brahmacharya into your daily experiences.

| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2121 of your daily guided meditation. |
| 0:08.1 | How are you doing? |
| 0:09.5 | I'm Mary Meckley, and I welcome you midweek as we continue along with a series we're exploring |
| 0:17.2 | this week. |
| 0:17.9 | We are exploring some ancient wisdom for our modern times we're living in, |
| 0:26.2 | because I feel like we could use a little advice. With all the uncertainty going on, and if you |
| 0:34.1 | live in the United States, there's a lot of election tension happening. |
| 0:39.9 | And so this week we are exploring the fourth yama of the yoga sutras from Pantanjali, |

| 2:37.6 | You may recall different times in your life when you may have had to stand up for your values. |
