| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1049. Welcome to your daily guided meditation. And I welcome you to part |
| 0:11.7 | five of our series on self-love, self-care. How to honor and respect yourself and love yourself, |
| 0:24.6 | despite what others may think of you. And this is a challenge for many people depending on the |
| 0:36.4 | situation. And so I hope that throughout this week you've been able to explore some ways to feel |
| 0:45.3 | more grounded within yourself so that others thoughts don't influence you so much. And that's what |
| 0:53.5 | today's meditation is all about. It's about exploring how to feel grounded. On a regular basis, |
| 1:04.2 | what you could do to feel secure about who you are, what you represent. And to do this, a chakra |
| 1:16.1 | meditation works beautifully, a first chakra meditation. And this is where you focus on your |
| 1:23.0 | values and what you represent. Now, if you're not familiar with chakras, you don't have to focus |
| 1:30.6 | on a particular chakra. You can do the visualization meditation without even knowing what a chakra is. |
| 1:38.2 | But chakras are simply areas where you may harbor emotions or memories. And the ancient yogis |

| 2:09.7 | emotions, the strong emotions that stick with us, how we feel and memories that may influence |
| 2:17.8 | the way we act. And so they thought about some of the bigger emotions and feelings. And where |
| 2:26.5 | those might be lodged within you. And so they came up with about seven points throughout your |
| 2:34.6 | body. And today you'll be focusing on the very first one, which is feeling grounded and connected. |
| 2:43.6 | So I hope you enjoy the meditation today. Now, I want to say that in today's meditation, |
| 2:51.2 | you'll focus on protecting yourself and forgiving yourself. So I've been taking you through |
| 2:58.5 | a prescription from Deborah Koshaba. She's a psychologist who wrote a seven step prescription for |
| 3:06.9 | self-love. And she talks about self-love as being an action, not a state of simply feeling good, |
| 3:16.7 | but actually taking action to feel good. So if you take this action, then you'll feel this way. |
