| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1037 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to the final episode of our series we've been exploring this week. You've discovered a meditation |
| 0:16.8 | technique to help you manage a top stressor and there are many these days of uncertainty during this |
| 0:26.2 | pandemic. In today's episode you are going to be guided as you immerse yourself in the peace of nature. |
| 0:40.0 | I encourage you to spend some time in nature this weekend. |
| 0:44.6 | As I record this, this is for a Saturdays episode and I just got back from a walk out in the woods. And when I immerse myself in nature, I really feel balanced. |
| 0:59.8 | I feel like I have a much better perspective on my life. |
| 1:04.4 | And there's a lot of research that shows that when you spend time in nature, |

| 2:14.4 | to lower your blood pressure, |
| 2:16.7 | and to boost your immune system. |
| 2:20.4 | You emerge with an overall feeling of well-being and that's really how I feel now as I sit down to record this for you. |
| 2:30.0 | And I have a special gift for you. |
| 2:35.0 | This is to celebrate the culmination of another series. |
| 2:39.0 | I know when you're experiencing a series where you're diving into your stress and noticing stress |
