Summary

"Every time you show up for yourself as you meditate - you win" ~ sip and om Do you wonder when this whirlwind of what seems like continuous tumultuous events will end? Although the pandemic is ongoing, we have a breather from the long-drawn-out political elections in the United States. It's time to simply breathe. This week, I invite you to slow down and breathe with me all week long. You'll explore a different breathing technique in each episode to calm your emotional state. This is part 7 of a 7-part Simply Breathe meditation series, episodes 2159-2165. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Breathing Quest. Every day this week, notice your breath. In particular, notice the pause between your inhale and exhale. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: Day 1: Instant Om Breath Day 2: Calming Breath + Affirmation "I am." Day 3: Confidence Breath Day 4: Relaxation Breath to Sleep Better Day 5: Energizing Breath Day 6: Forgiveness Breath Day 7: Weekly Reflection Meditation

0:00.0	This is episode 2,200 and you are listening to the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:08.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to Day seven, the final day of our series we've been exploring on
0:17.3	simplicity. This is simplicity in regard to your interior life. All week long you have been discovering
0:26.4	meditation techniques to help you interiorize, to focus on what matters most for you, to feel grounded, to feel as though you are enough, to calm
0:39.5	your mind and your body, and you've been taking part in a very important quest this week. I've heard from many of you
0:48.6	that you already were on a quest to refrain from the news this week and I hope that you
0:56.4	found it helpful. I have to admit that there were a few times I started to Google

1:37.2	It feels like the news just ensnares you
1:40.1	as you read one sensationalized headline after the other, not really knowing if what you're reading is true,
1:50.4	and if there's any truth in it, it's so divisive rather than being constructive and
1:58.0	helpful and useful.
2:01.3	It seems as though it's just designed to tear people apart and to make you feel afraid and

2:18.1	That's what it seems like to me most days that I read the news. So this has been a great week to refrain from media and as
