This is episode 1,777. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm honored to be your meditation guide today as you continue through our series this week, which is all about giving yourself a mental cleanse.

And this entire month is about cleansing, refreshing.

We've entered a brand new season, and we're cleansing and getting ready for something new.

In last week's series, you explored a body cleanse.

The previous week's series, you laid the foundation for a cleanse. This week is all about a mental

cleanse. And in today's episode, you will discover a meditation technique you can do as you

meditate. And you can also do this technique, as with all the techniques I share, as you go about

your day. We all start our meditation journey at our own pace. So if you haven't quite settled

yourself down to meditate, you still maybe are listening to the different episodes

doing the techniques. It's all good. I started the same way. It took me a few years of

exploring different wellness, relaxation techniques, and different Asian arts.

I was living in Japan at the time, studying Ikebana, the art of flower arranging,

as well as the Japanese tea ceremony, and feng shui as well, which is from China.

I studied the Chinese feng shui.

And these types of arts helped me to lay the foundation for meditation and yoga. So you honor yourself wherever you are. I know many of you

have written to me over the years since I started this

podcast and told me you've listened to every single episode. I'm so honored by that.

And I hope you continue on your meditation journey wherever that leads you. And I'm honored to be a part of it.

So as you meditate, if you want to go deeper into this particular series, or you want a little

more guidance as you meditate, I do have an app that I like to mention because some of you do want more guidance.

And that is the SIP and Om meditation app.

I share a daily half-hour guided meditation.
