| 0:05.3 | meditation, you're actually giving your body rest that's about five times deeper than sleep. |
| 0:11.5 | And this is not insignificant because when you give your body the rest that it needs, |
| 0:15.9 | it knows how to heal itself. And one of the things it heals itself from is stress, |
| 0:20.0 | but not only the stress from |
| 0:21.4 | today, all that stress from the past, all that stuff that we've been storing in our cellular |
| 0:25.5 | memory. And so once that stress gets out of the body, you actually get a return on your time |

| 1:49.2 | I know about you, but I have felt stressed and anxious and that feeling in my chest where, like, |
| 1:55.2 | my breath feels heavy and I sometimes feel like I'm doing everything wrong. And then I have |
| 2:00.2 | other moments where I'm elated and I feel like I'm doing everything wrong and then I have other moments where I'm |
