| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3, 205 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to the final episode of this week's series where you are cultivating the samurai |
| 0:19.9 | mind. |
| 0:21.3 | And this is a meditation series that has guided you on a journey of focus and |
| 0:28.1 | discipline to where you are the master of your destiny and you're doing this by creating what is called |
| 0:38.5 | Bushido and Bushido is the Japanese samurai concept of creating a code of conduct. |
| 0:50.0 | And that has been your challenge all week long, every day this week, you have been considering |
| 0:59.0 | your own code of conduct. |

| 3:12.0 | Being present with yourself, always honoring how you truly feel. Mentally affirm, I am master of my destiny. |
| 3:40.0 | I am master of my destiny. |
| 3:48.8 | Now again, reflect on your three of conduct, core values that embody your Bushido, |
