This is episode 1,906 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley.

And here you are, getting ready to give yourself a little more peace, energy and clarity.

It could be one of the best things you do for yourself all day. This chance to slow down

if you do this consistently every day, even for a few minutes a day, can begin to create new patterns and habits in your life that can actually create new

neural pathways in your brain. There's so much more research out there happening every day on the

benefits of meditation, especially mindfulness-based meditation.

And so whether you're seated meditating

as you do these techniques I share with you

here on the podcast, or whether you do these techniques as you go

about the day you are still creating positive change in your brain.

So, in today's episode,

we have reached the final episode of our series this week. We focus on a theme for an entire week and

so you have a seven-part series greeting you each week.

Well, the theme for this week's series has been all about your brain's health.

You've learned different tips and meditation techniques to support your brain health. Today let's celebrate as we do in the final episode of

every single series and that's with a very important special technique that I

encourage you to do at least once a week. If you could do this technique daily, you will find yourself improving

how you

to respond to stress in your life and that technique is to do a reflection

meditation where you take a glance back over your week if you do this weekly as we're

doing this today glancing back over this week. Or if you do this daily, you could glance back over your day.

Many people, including the Dalai Lama, are reported to do this technique daily.
