| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 2,734 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm Mary Mickley and I welcome you to a brand new series. |
| 0:13.2 | We're launching into the theme for this week all about loving kindness. |
| 0:22.2 | It's going to be a theme where you actually dip into some of the beautiful rich ancient traditions of yoga and meditation. |
| 0:35.6 | And this has to do with the Yamas. |
| 0:40.6 | And eventually you'll be exploring an upcoming series, The Niyamas, which is a compliment to the Yamas. |
| 0:50.8 | So the Niyamas and the Yamas are a series of right living or ethical rules within yoga philosophy. |

| 2:31.6 | And you have a challenge as you always do as we launch into a new series. |
| 2:37.4 | And this is a challenge I invite you to do daily. |
