Summary
Be guided in a meditation to start your day with focus and clarity.
This week's series of meditations is based on the classic book, "Meditations of Marcus Aurelius," who was a Roman emperor who ruled from 161-180 A.D. You'll be guided in meditations from his book. His reflections are based on Stoic philosophy which emphasizes living a peaceful life by practicing self-control to attain inner peace by overcoming adversity, and honoring your true nature -- not forcing yourself to be a particular way. This is so aligned with how I share meditation so I'm excited about this week's series.
This is part 5 of a 7-Part Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, Episodes 604-610.
You are guided with a different meditation technique every day that is customized for the week's theme. Weave the techniques into the most stressful times of your day to manage difficult emotions. The meditation techniques help to calm the "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:03.8 | I'm Mary Mechley and I am a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique |
| 0:10.7 | every single day, customized around a weekly theme. |
| 0:16.4 | And our theme for this week is the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, who was a Roman Emperor |
| 0:26.1 | who lived way back in A.D. 120 and he wrote a, in a journal, his reflections of his life |

| 0:50.6 | And this was like a diary for him. |
| 0:52.8 | He didn't expect it to be distributed around the world, which it is now, of course, it's |

| 1:02.3 | And you'll find that the thinking of his time and the challenges are really not much |
| 1:09.0 | different than what we face today. |
| 1:12.5 | So despite our advances in technology, our emotions, our moods, how we process stress |
| 1:21.0 | triggers, that hasn't changed so much. |
