Joy doesn’t always arrive loudly — sometimes it appears in quiet, everyday moments waiting to be noticed. Today’s meditation encourages you to open to these simple pleasures: a warm bed, soft light, a gentle pause. By allowing joy to land without guilt, you nurture resilience, brighten your spirit, and reconnect with the goodness around you.

Approach production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your
morning Mantra. Today's meditation explores a simple joy found in
small moments, and the permission to feel good without guilt.
(00:33):
Your morning mantra, I welcome moments of joy into my day.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your
breath down into your heart, letting warmth fill your whole body,
(01:29):
allowing presence. Sometimes joy doesn't scream, It whispers a warm bed,
the soft morning light, a quiet pause, a kind word.
(02:01):
These moments often passed by our small invitations to receive sweetness,
to open your heart, to remind us of the goodness
(02:21):
that surrounds us. Today's meditation is permission to pause, to
feel joy, to savor small pleasures, to welcome happiness in
(02:44):
the smallest of moments. When we look for joy, our
days brightened, our bodies soften, our minds are clear, and
(03:05):
we strengthen our resilience from the inside out. Today's mantra, I,
welcome moments of joy into my day. Repeat to yourself,
either out loud or in your mind. I welcome moments
(03:30):
of joy into my day, bringing your awareness back to
your breath, breathing in and out of your heart space.
(03:51):
May you be happy, May you be well, May you
be free from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety. And may
your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back
(04:14):
to the space around you and slowly opening your eyes
to increase self awareness and growth, I invite you to
listen to this evening's reflection. You can also deepen your

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.
