This is a companion podcast for this morning's mantra.
Rest is essential, not optional. When we don’t listen to our body’s need for downtime, it finds ways to force us to slow down. This meditation is a reminder to honour rest as a vital part of life.
Jennifer Cray is a life coach, meditation teacher and yoga teacher for Living Lit Up, based in Brisbane. You can deepen your meditation practices with her on Insight Timer.

Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax
your shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath.
Allow the events of your day to run through your
mind from when you woke up.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
To this very moment. Reflect on the activities of the day,

reflect on rest and restoration. Reflect on the balance of
(01:52):
rest and activity. What can you learn from this now?
(02:22):
Think of three things that happened today that you can
be grateful for. Say thank you, and then let go,
(02:46):
releasing the day and all thoughts that came with it.
Calling your energy back to this moment, bringing your attention
to your breath, breathing in and out of your nose,
(03:13):
drawing your breath down into your belly where there are
no thoughts at all. See you tomorrow for your morning mantra.
