0:02.0	2006 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:06.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you
0:10.0	to a brand new series we're exploring this week.
0:15.0	I also want to congratulate you for giving yourself permission to slow down. I know that with all that's going on in the
0:26.7	world right now it can be really difficult to become present enough to take care of yourself by meditating.
0:38.9	Your thoughts and your attention are likely going in all different directions.

2:37.0	Now in the Yoga Sutras, you will find the Yamamas and nyamas and throughout the upcoming weeks I'm going to be guiding you through
2:50.9	the different yamas. There are five so we will be focusing on one each week for the next
