Speaker 2 (00:14):
Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning mantra.
Too often our days slip by in complaint and worry,
small murmurs that mask a deeper fear that life will
end before we've truly lived. Today's meditation is about becoming
aware of the fear and using it to choose exuberance instead.

(00:39):
Your morning mantra, I awaken to each day with exuberant joy.
Let's begin, if it's safe to do so. Close your
eyes or lower your gaze.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax
your shoulders.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Draw your
breath into your heart space. Whenever you catch yourself complaining
or worrying, acknowledge that this can be a sign of fear,

(01:34):
a fear that time will slip away from us and
that we will think that we spend the majority of
time in complaint or wishing for something else. Complaining keeps
us small, closed off, moving in the opposite direction of

(01:59):
our hopes and dreams. Today is an invitation to remind
ourselves that this life is fleeting, temporary, not to be morbid,
but to give us the motivation to focus on what
is needed and let go of the other stuff, so

(02:25):
that we can feel exuberant and alive doing the things
that matter most to us. To make the most of
this precious time. Today's mantra I awaken to each day
with exuberant joy. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or

(02:49):
in your mind. I awaken to each day with exuberant joy,
bringing your awareness to your breath and back to the
space around you. Slowly open your eyes to increase self
awareness and growth. I invite you to listen to this

(03:11):
evening's reflection. You can also deepen your practice with me
