0:00.0	This is episode 1, 980 of The Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:07.0	I'm a Mary Meckley and I welcome you to our series this week. It is a series to help you have courage in a crisis as we are
0:19.7	experiencing a global pandemic with the COVID-19 coronavirus.
0:27.0	In this week's series, you are receiving the full meditations that I share on the Sipinome Meditation app.
0:37.0	I hope you enjoy these episodes.
0:40.0	I hope they bring you hope and courage at this time. In today's episode you will
0:46.7	discover a special meditation technique to help you relax your nervous system to help you protect your body's immunity.
0:57.0	Enjoy the series and be safe.
