This is episode 1644. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and here you are

getting ready to give yourself a little more peace, energy and clarity. In today's episode, you're going to be guided

using a breathing technique to breathe in peace. And we continue with our series this week with a

theme we're focusing on all week long to explore peace by releasing worry. When you think about

the uncertainty in your life and in the world around you, it can be difficult to usher in peace in this

the final month of the year. And when you think about what is occupying your thoughts with worry

or self-doubt or stress, if you allow yourself as you meditate today to relax into peace using your breath,

you will find you can calm your mind and body pretty quickly. Breathing techniques are one of the fastest, most effective ways to

instantly calm your mind and body. So bring to mind what you're worrying about. And commit to

releasing at least one of those worries. And as you settle yourself down to do your meditation today,

know we have our full guided meditations on the Sipinome Meditation app that you can try for two weeks full access to the app for free,

14 days free, access to over 1,600 meditations. And what's special with the app is the meditations you can listen to for

half an hour guided meditation as well you receive a journal that will take you more deeply into the meditation theme for the week.

So this week it's a worry fast journal as well as a slow down guide with the different techniques organized on the guide for you.

It's like a meditation cheat sheet. So again, it's the Sipinome Meditation app.

As you begin to close your eyes and relax your mind and your body. Allow yourself to transition from whatever you

are doing before you sat down to meditate to a state of peace. Go at your own pace. This is your time. Some days it can take longer than others to transition.

To relax your mind, to calm your body, to let go of distractions.

As you begin to notice the rhythm and flow of your breath, you'll notice that as you become calmer, your breath moves a little higher up in your nose.

You inhale and exhale through your nose.

This breathing technique will calm your mind and body. You'll inhale to the count of four. Hold for the count of six.

Exhale your breath for the count of eight. So your exhale will be twice as long as your inhale.
