| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 2009 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I |
| 0:09.5 | welcome you back to our series we're exploring this week. It's all about your brain, heart |
| 0:18.9 | connection and how you manage stress in your life that affects your emotions and your feelings and your mental clarity, your brain health. |
| 0:32.0 | In yesterday's episode I shared with you ways that your heart and brain communicate. |
| 0:40.0 | The Heart Math Institute has done a lot of research on the Heart Brain Connection |
| 0:48.7 | and their research shows that messages the heart since the brain can affect performance. |

| 2:24.0 | considered to be excellent ways to help improve your |
| 2:30.0 | mental and emotional state. They are positive uplifting statements that help you focus |
| 2:38.9 | your thoughts. If you repeat an affirmation without any focused concentration, chances are you're not going to feel any kind of positive uplifted state after repeating it. |
| 2:56.6 | So it's important to repeat an affirmation |
| 3:00.7 | consciously, mindfully. And when you do this, a technique such as an affirmation or a |
