This is episode 1,933 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I'm Mary Meckley and I honor you for showing up for yourself. How are you doing? I hope all

as well as you get ready to continue with our series this week all about releasing

insecurities to help you sleep better at night. This is part of a full collection of

meditation series, four series in total, that we've explored throughout this month.

And these all have to do with different aspects of helping you to sleep better at night. You've had a special challenge this week.

You were challenged to come up with three gratitude each day, things for which you're grateful

for and things that have to do with the insecurity you're focusing on this week.

Things that you are grateful for regarding the experience of releasing and becoming aware of this insecurity.

Today your meditation technique will be layering the different techniques we've explored

throughout the entire week as you sit down to meditate. You can do the layering of techniques

any time you meditate. The techniques help you to transition from whatever you were doing before you sat down to meditate

to a state where you feel a greater sense of inner stillness.

Without doing the techniques,

it's pretty hard to sit down and instantly be meditating.

It usually takes some transition time

where you allow your mind to gently be guided into a state of stillness.

So the techniques for this week begin with you reflecting on an insecurity as your focus for the week.

So bring to mind this insecurity right now.

What are you focusing on?

Releasing. Now mentally repeat, repeat, release.

just one word, release.
