Summary
Today's session uses a Vagus Nerve breathing technique focused on deep, slow exhales to instantly calm your nervous system and reduce the "pit in the stomach" feeling. This practice clears the static on the gut-brain highway, allowing your intuitive signals to be transmitted clearly and immediately.
WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES:
Are you tired of leaving your big decisions to endless spreadsheets and overthinking? This week, we dive into Intuitive Intelligence, the powerful, science-backed way your body makes brilliant choices by listening to your Gut-Brain Axis—the direct highway between your enteric nervous system and your mind. Over seven days, you'll learn to cut through the analytical noise, bypass "analysis paralysis," and confidently trust the internal signals that lead to your best life.
This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Intuitive Intelligence: Hacking Your Gut-Brain Axis for Clarity," episodes 3402-3406.
YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 3-Second Pause Challenge
Before making any non-urgent decision this week (e.g., ordering lunch, responding to an email, selecting a task), pause for exactly three seconds. Place your hand gently on your solar plexus or abdomen and ask: "Does this feel expansive or contractive?" This simple ritual trains you to access your gut's instant feedback loop before the logical mind jumps in..

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3,406 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:08.1 | I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to day five of this week's journey. |
| 0:15.3 | Every week we explore a theme and as you go through a journey or a meditation series, you're guided with a different |
| 0:27.9 | unique meditation technique that helps you deepen your experience of the week's theme. Well, the theme this week has you exploring your intuitive |
| 0:44.5 | intelligence. And this is where you are hacking your gut brain axis for clarity. |
| 0:55.2 | And you have been challenged this week to consider a decision. |
| 1:02.5 | You may be pondering. |
| 1:05.0 | Maybe you have clarity about your decision and you're excited to move forward. |
| 1:10.5 | Or maybe the path isn't quite clear when you consider your decision. |
| 1:18.6 | You're going to be guided with the focus and the clarity of your third eye, which is located right at the point between your |
| 1:33.7 | eyebrows. |
| 1:34.7 | And in yoga and meditation, this is considered your third eye and it's where when you elevate your eyes to this point when you meditate, |
| 1:47.0 | which I invite you to do every time we meditate together. |
| 1:52.0 | When you elevate your eyes, it creates a physiological response to where you naturally elevate your consciousness upwards to your |
| 2:10.2 | highest aspirations so when you think about the decision you're focusing on this week, it may even be a decision that you didn't quite realize you needed to make until you slowed down and reflected on your life and how things are going and you checked in with yourself, which is what you do |
| 2:38.0 | every time you show up for yourself as you meditate. |
| 2:43.0 | You may have realized that you need to move forward in a particular direction or to pursue something or even to let go of something. |
| 2:55.7 | So today I'll guide you with the insight of your Anja, Third Eye Chakra. |
| 3:04.8 | As always, we start every episode with some insight. This allows you to explore the rich |
| 3:15.9 | tradition of yoga and meditation, and this is a 5,000-year- old ritual you are participating in. |
| 3:26.5 | And then as you're guided in a meditation, it allows you to take this rich tradition |
| 3:34.5 | into your everyday life, into the modern world. |
