Episode Transcript
Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of Your
Morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores how acceptance creates the foundation
for genuine love for ourselves, for others, for life. Your
(00:34):
morning mantra, I accept what is so love can enter.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Let's begin if it's safe to do so. Close your
eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, Relax your ears,
relax your jaw, relax your shoulders dead.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
And bring your attention to your breath, drawing your breath
down into your heart. Before love comes acceptance, accepting what
(01:27):
is before us wholeheartedly, with open arms and minds. Acceptance
isn't about agreeing. It isn't about approval or fixing. When
(01:48):
we are non accepting, we build walls, we resist, we judge.
Love becomes conditional acceptance for what is is pure presence,
(02:15):
allowing oneself to be written and rewritten in each moment,
and allowing the same for others, Accepting each moment for
what it brings, and the next moment and the next
(02:37):
just being with and opening to the flow of compassion
and love, leading to joy. Unconditional love because love can
only be where true acceptance lives. Today's mantra, I accept
(03:04):
what is so? Love can enter? Repeat to yourself, either
out loud or in your mind. I accept what is so?
Love can enter, bringing your awareness back to your breath,
(03:28):
breathing in and out of your heart space. May you
be happy, may you be well, May you be free
from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may your whole
(03:52):
life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the
space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase
self awareness and growth, I invite you to listen to
(04:16):
this evening's reflection. You can also deepen your practice with
me on Inside Timer find the link below.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
