Summary
"All things are connected like the blood that unites us. We do not weave the web of life. We are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves."
~ Chief Seattle

| 0:08.0 | I'm Mary Mechley and I welcome you to a brand new series we're exploring this week. |
| 0:16.0 | Every week we launch into a new series with a new theme that we follow along with all week long. |
| 0:26.0 | In each episode this week you discover a different meditation technique that goes right along with the theme. |
| 0:35.0 | You also have a challenge as you explore the theme and this is where you go on some kind of a quest. |
| 0:46.0 | This allows you to go a little more deeply into the theme and I encourage you to set an intention for the week. |
| 0:55.0 | While our theme this week is managing conflict. |
| 1:01.0 | There is a lot of conflict around us these days, socially, politically, economically, |
| 1:10.0 | and you may be feeling a lot of personal, emotional conflict as you navigate your way through a pandemic as part of this week's theme. |
| 1:23.0 | You're also going to explore the importance of human connection. |

| 2:26.0 | Studies are showing that today as we lead such busy lives, |
| 2:33.0 | it's come to the point where loneliness is on the rise and that this lack of human connection can actually be more harmful to your health than obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure. |
| 2:51.0 | When we have strong social connections, this helps us to manage our emotions, especially it helps to lower anxiety and depression. |
| 3:02.0 | It also helps you to feel more confident and empathetic, it's also great for your immune system. |
| 3:12.0 | So ask your challenge for this week as your quest every single day. |
