Good morning and welcome to the artist's morning.
My name is Darius and it is such an honor,
Such a privilege to be meditating with you.
With today's meditation,
We're going to go on a journey and we're going to see if we can connect with the energy,
With the heart space of someone we love.
Let's begin our meditation by finding a nice comfortable seat and just give yourself a moment to land.
There's no rush this morning.
This is your time.
Just take a few seconds just to land in your seat.
Land in this space you happen to find yourself in this morning.
If your eyes are open,
I invite you to close them now as we begin to go inwards together.
And wherever you're at,
Whatever you're feeling inside,
I want you to know it's okay.
You don't need to change a thing.
You have full permission to be exactly as you are.
Take a couple deep breaths now.
Breathing deep into your belly.
And with your exhale,
Just make a sigh,
Make a noise and let go of any heaviness,
Any stagnant energy you might be holding.
Breathing in and just letting it all go.
Continue breathing deeply on your own.
As we journey deeper into our hearts,
I want you to imagine a beautiful golden ray of light from the sky.
And imagine it comes down and sits upon your head,
Upon your crown,
And it beams its warm radiance down your forehead,
Your face.
Feel the warmth.
Feel as its embrace soothes and calms your body as it works its way down your shoulders melting away any tension,
Any stiffness.
This golden ray warms your entire body that works down your chest,
Down your arms to your fingertips,
Down your torso,
Down,
Down,
Down your thighs,
Your knees,
All the way down to your feet.
Just take a moment to sit,
To bask in the warmth,
The safety,
The security available to you here.
And in the silence,
In the spaces between the guidance,
If you happen to notice your mind wandering,
That's okay.
Because that's what creative minds do sometimes.
Don't fight it.
Don't resist it.
Just allow it.
Just observe it.
And notice that you are not the thought.
You are not the feeling.
You are simply the observer.
I want to invite you to take a few conscious breaths,
Bringing your energy into your heart space,
The center of your chest,
Your lungs,
Your heart.
Taking a deep breath and feeling as your heart space expands with your inhale,
It literally gets bigger.
And letting it go with your exhale,
Imagining any energy,
Any heaviness that does not serve you dissipating through your exhale.
As we build and charge this incredible power source,
Your heart space.
I want you to imagine with each inhale,
There is a ball of light in the center of your chest and it actually extends outside of your body.
This beautiful,
Radiant light,
Full of colors.
Each inhale,
The light charges up.
There is tremendous safety and security available to you in this ball of radiant light around the center of your body now.
Notice the way the colors change.
Notice how your breath impacts the light.
It's almost like this beautiful electricity of light inside this ball,
Flowing,
Shining,
Sparkling.
Continue charging this space with your breath,
Feeling the electricity moving its way through your entire being.
If you're open to it,
This ball of light has tremendous joy,
Comfort,
And bliss available to you.
If you like,
Try on a little baby smile on your lips and just see what happens to this ball of light.
Does it change?
Does it feel different in your body?
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
You are cultivating an energy,
Your energy,
Your heart space energy.
And it's growing and it's amplifying and it's pulsing and it's impacting your being.
It might be subtle,
But it's still making an impact.
This last song,
If you feel open,
If you feel willing,
We're going to take this ball of energy and we're going to allow you to travel through time and space and beam this light to somebody you care for,
Somebody you love.
It could be someone who you miss in this world.
It could be someone that maybe has left this physical world and is in a different place.
It can even be somebody you are maybe estranged with,
Someone you love that you have not spoken to in a very long time.
There's no right or wrong person to choose.
Just feel into it.
And if you feel safe and supported here,
An opportunity to beam that light from your heart and reach and impact them wherever they are.
I'll stay quiet and let you explore.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
Wherever you went,
Whatever you felt or did not feel,
I honor and respect you for carving out some time for yourself and for your heart this morning.
As always with the artist's morning,
I'm going to put 15 minutes on the clock and invite you to do some private personal journaling.
If you happen to be catching us on a replay,
I invite you to do the same.
Thank you for meditating with me this morning.
My name is Darius and we'll see you next time.
