| 0:00.0 | This is Episode 2,368 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm Mary Mechley, and I welcome you to the final episode of our series. |
| 0:14.7 | All week long, you have been immersed in self-care for heartache and loss. |
| 0:24.6 | Throughout this series, you've been guided with the wise words of wisdom |
| 0:29.7 | from an ancient philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, from his book Meditations, |
| 0:36.8 | the ancient Roman Stoic, the last good emperor he is considered to be. |
| 0:46.0 | In fact, after his rule, Rome fell into disarray. |
| 0:52.8 | The other person you've been following along with is more of a modern day yogi, |
| 0:59.6 | although he's no longer with us. He lived in the United States, sharing yoga and meditation |
| 1:09.1 | with the West. In the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and he is the author of autobiography of a yogi, |
| 1:19.6 | which is a classic. Both of these wisdom seekers share the importance of living your best life |
| 1:31.5 | so that you can make the world a better place. And as you heal from heartache and loss, |
| 1:40.8 | always know that as long as you keep showing up for yourself and sharing your gifts with the world, |
| 1:51.4 | you can survive anything. And it's really the only way we have ever survived. |
| 2:00.4 | Both of these great thinkers also emphasized the importance of reaching out to your community |
| 2:09.0 | and to the world at large as part of your family, not making it all about just yourself. |
| 2:18.1 | So meditation is an expansive ritual where you open your heart to high ideals that are universal |
| 2:29.1 | such as love, compassion and gratitude. So as you're guided in this final meditation of our |
| 2:38.2 | series this week, I'll share with you the words of wisdom from each of them as you meditate. |
| 2:46.8 | And you will also be guided in a weekly reflection. Both of these great minds also |
| 2:57.1 | did this kind of weekly or daily reflection and considered it a cornerstone to improving the way |
| 3:07.6 | they live their life. I always encourage you in the final episode to meditate outside. |
