Welcome to "The Patient Heart: Cultivating Inner Stillness," a 7-part meditation series designed to help you rediscover the profound power and peace found in patience. In a world that often demands instant gratification, true tranquility lies in our ability to wait, to observe, and to trust in the natural unfolding of life. Drawing upon the timeless wisdom of ancient traditions, this series will guide you to cultivate patience not as passive waiting, but as an active, compassionate engagement with the present moment. Each episode offers a unique lens to understand and embody this vital virtue, fostering inner resilience and a deeper connection to the rhythm of existence.

| 0:09.2 | I am honored as always to be your host and guide in today's meditation. |
| 0:17.3 | You are on a journey this week. |
| 0:20.4 | Our theme is patience. You are on a journey this week. |
| 0:29.5 | Our theme is patience, the patient heart, cultivating inner stillness. And you are also not on this journey alone, because you are exploring the wisdom of the ancients, the great thinkers from times past. |
| 0:43.9 | And their universal wisdom is with us today. |
| 0:50.9 | So as you get ready to meditate today, I encourage you to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode. |
| 1:01.9 | There's something else I invite you to do. |
| 1:06.0 | And that is to share this podcast with someone who perhaps already meditates or who would like to learn to |
