| 0:00.0 | This is Episode 2235 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:06.6 | I'm Mary Mechley, and I welcome you back to Day 7. |
| 0:12.0 | This is the final episode in our series we've been exploring to help you sleep better. |
| 0:20.8 | In each episode this week, you have discovered a meditation technique |
| 0:26.5 | you can do to help you as you sleep. |

| 1:44.2 | happening all over the world, and this is upsetting. |
| 1:50.1 | It's difficult to hear that something happened in an area that's |
