This is a companion podcast for this morning's mantra.

Every breath is an invitation to start fresh. Today’s meditation embraces the gentle courage of beginning again — after challenge, after missteps, and even after small moments of forgetting. Renewal lives in each inhale, reminding us that hope is always available.

Hi, I'm Jennifer Cray. Let's reflect on today's mantra. I

Close your eyes or lower your gaze. 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 (00:57):
To this very moment. Where did you offer yourself a
fresh start today? Reflect on how beginning again softens self judgment.

(01:51):
Reflect on how restarting gives new hope. What can you

(02:16):

today that you can be grateful for. Say thank you,

and then let go, releasing the day and all thoughts
that came with it.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Calling your energy back to this moment, bringing your attention
to your breath, Breathing in and out of your nose,
