Summary

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." ~ Buddha Do you wonder when this whirlwind of what seems like continuous tumultuous events will end? Although the pandemic is ongoing, we have a breather from the long-drawn-out political elections in the United States. It's time to simply breathe. This week, I invite you to slow down and breathe with me all week long. You'll explore a different breathing technique in each episode to calm your emotional state. This is part 5 of a 7-part Simply Breathe meditation series, episodes 2159-2165. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Breathing Quest. Every day this week, notice your breath. In particular, notice the pause between your inhale and exhale. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: Day 1: Instant Om Breath Day 2: Calming Breath + Affirmation "I am." Day 3: Confidence Breath Day 4: Relaxation Breath to Sleep Better Day 5: Energizing Breath Day 6: Forgiveness Breath Day 7: Walking Meditation

0:00.0	This is episode 2,163 of your daily meditation podcast.
0:07.5	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to our series.
0:13.5	This week, we are simply breathing.
0:17.8	It's been quite a year, and we're just about ready to finish the year.
0:24.0	So I wanted to provide you with a week of breathing techniques
0:29.0	to help you in different situations.
0:32.0	So far, we have discovered a breathing technique to relax your mind and
0:37.4	body, to instantly calm yourself, to feel more confident, to ease yourself into sleep. Today it's all about focus. Meditation is one of
0:51.6	the best ways to help you focus because when your mind is calm and
0:57.9	your body is relaxed as it is when you meditate you're able to focus.
1:05.0	And in today's episode you're going to be guided as you focus on one thing only. So I'd like you to pause now and think about something you
1:19.1	like to focus on during this meditation. Maybe you want to calm your mind and so you visualize
1:30.1	a beautiful beach with ocean waves lapping at the shore.
1:37.0	Maybe you're in a forest and you're focusing on the trees.
1:50.0	Maybe you'd like to focus on candle light, where you visualize a candle and focus exclusively
1:59.4	on the flame.

2:42.8	something to do to take you a little more deeply
2:45.3	into the week's theme.
2:47.4	I'd love to meet you, so message me
2:50.0	and let me know you're there.
