You're listening to Episode 834.

Welcome to your daily meditation.

I'm Mary Meckley, your meditation guide, and in today's meditation, you're going to be guided as we launch into a brand new theme on meditating for a positive self-image.

And in today's meditation, you're going to be guided in a visualization.

And as this is Sunday, it is a reflection day where you put closure on the past week as you

get ready to begin a brand new week.

So in today's meditation, you'll be reflecting on the past week, the week you just experienced.

So settle yourself in and begin to relax your mind and body.

Just straighten your spine.

And as you go into your meditation,

allow your thoughts to transition from whatever you were doing

before to this space you're giving yourself to meditate.

I want to remind you, you have a slowdown guide waiting for you with all the meditation

techniques we use this week organized nicely for you as well as a slowdown journal.

Today's reflection day would be a good day to write in a journal.

As you're seated transitioning into your meditation, begin to relax the different areas of your body where you may be holding tension.

Straighten your spine, close your eyes, keeping them slightly elevated.

This keeps your thoughts uplifted. It makes you feel good about yourself and all you're doing for yourself right now.

Soften your face.

Relax your jaw.

Soften your neck and your throat relax your shoulders and your arms rest your hands on your lap with your palms upward or downward.

Relax your chest.
