| 0:00.0 | I'm honored to share with you this week's brand new meditation series. We are launching into |
| 0:07.6 | a theme that is very important and this is coming from a fellow meditator by request and this is |
| 0:17.6 | episode 2896 of the Daily Meditation Podcast and I'm Mary Mechley here to provide you some insight |
| 0:29.6 | on this week's theme that we'll explore for a full week and you'll also be guided in a meditation. |
| 0:39.5 | So there's first insight and then a guided meditation. Well as I mentioned this week's theme is |
| 0:46.8 | by request from one of your fellow meditators and she reached out to me and told me that she would |
| 0:55.3 | really enjoy a theme about a positive body image. So that is the name of this week's series. |

| 2:51.6 | incredibly obsessive about their appearance. In fact one dear friend was actually a beauty queen |
| 3:02.5 | yet she felt ugly. She was always obsessing about her weight and her appearance and to this day |
| 3:10.8 | she's a beautiful woman however she doesn't feel beautiful. So this kind of disorder can impact |
