Good morning and welcome to the Artist's Morning.
Our practice today will be on the theme of balance.
It will be one part meditation,
One part guided visualization.
I'll be here the whole way.
Sometimes with guided visualizations our brains can get overwhelmed because there will be some prompts for you to imagine.
A very simple trick is to reassure your mind that you can come back to this meditation anytime.
There's no such thing as getting it right or wrong.
Just follow your intuition,
Follow the flow,
And remember that there is nothing serious happening here.
We are playing together.
Our practice today will be on the topic of the sacred masculine sacred father energy and the sacred feminine,
The sacred mother energy.
These are energies.
You have the option if you want to embody them in a real life human,
A family member,
Someone you feel called to or trust,
Or just energy.
Let's begin our meditation now by taking a nice deep breath and just landing in our seats this morning.
Slowing things down,
Giving ourselves a chance to feel,
Feel what's alive for you this morning.
Start by just becoming aware of the sensation of breath in and on your body.
Follow your breath from the tips of your tongue down,
Your throat,
Your lungs down into your belly.
How is your heart this morning?
How is your mind this morning?
No need to explain,
Analyze,
Fix anything.
We are starting our day by giving ourselves full permission to be exactly as we are.
How is your body this morning?
Have you been holding extra weight,
Extra tension?
Can you feel that perhaps your shoulders,
Even on your head,
Your neck,
Maybe it's very light.
Maybe you've been holding for a very long time.
Maybe it's energetic.
Maybe it's a story that's been holding you back from the past.
Maybe it's something physical.
Maybe you have very little weight on your shoulders and that's okay too.
I want you to imagine now the energy,
The essence of a sacred masculine being,
The sacred father energy standing right next to you,
Strong rooted,
Deeply present sacred masculine energy standing directly in front of you,
Looking into your eyes and seeing you,
Really seeing you.
Maybe this is hard for you.
Maybe your instinct is to look away,
To look down,
But this deeply loving,
Safe and secure masculine energy gently places their hands on your face and brings your eyes up to theirs.
And in that moment,
You feel unconditional love.
You feel deep safety and care.
And maybe if you feel open and ready,
You take a deep breath and just melt a little into the sacred masculine.
And that weight,
That weight that is on your shoulder,
It's like a backpack full of rocks.
This sacred masculine energy senses it and slowly,
Gently begins to take the straps of this heavy backpack off your shoulder.
Just with one strap,
You can feel the weight shift and then moves to the other strap and instantly release lightness.
You dear artist,
Don't need to hold this weight anymore.
You're open,
I invite you to look back into the eyes of this sacred masculine energy.
Unfortunate,
Unconditional love.
The sacred masculine's unrelenting care and support is beginning to fill you with rooted,
Powerful energy now.
Feel as your spine becomes taller.
Feel as your chest opens and feel as a gentle calm falls upon your face,
Your jaw.
Taking a nice deep breath here in this new posture.
In this space,
There is a great deal more lightness,
Rootedness,
Power and courage.
Now there is a new energy in this space.
Perhaps it begins to impact your body like a whisper,
Like a warm breeze.
A divine feminine energy is in the space now.
The sacred mother energy,
It's powerful,
Equally as powerful as the divine masculine energy but different.
Deeper,
More flowy,
With infinite capacity for kindness,
For acceptance and openness to exactly who you are,
Who you were and who you will become.
This powerful,
Beautiful,
Wise,
Sacred feminine energy can sense how long you've been holding that weight,
How hard you've been working all these years and invites you to sit next to her on a couch,
Beautiful,
Comfortable couch.
Slowly,
You accept her invitation and you sit next to her and feel the release,
The release,
Feel the ease and joy available from the simple act of slowing down and resting among me.
This sacred feminine energy,
This sacred mother energy needs nothing from you.
She needs nothing from you.
How does that feel?
To be totally accepted and unconditionally loved.
She sees your hand resting on your lap and she slowly and gently places her hand on top of yours.
What does that feel like for you to feel her affection and love?
She has one more gentle invitation for you.
Would you like to rest your head on her lap?
Just for a moment.
You are open and interested.
Do so now.
She begins to softly brush your hair with her hands.
Slowly touching your face,
Your neck,
The side of your arm.
What does it feel like for you to be able to rest so deeply and fully?
Her meditation is slowly coming to an end here.
But before we complete it,
I just want to give you a moment here to feel the energy of this sacred feminine,
Sacred mother energy on one side of you.
And the sacred masculine,
The sacred father energy on the other side of you.
So much love and support and power and safety here for you if you are open to it.
And a gentle reminder that both these energies live eternally inside each and every one of us.
Yes,
They can be embodied by real life humans in the world and they can be embodied within ourselves.
Let's take one last deep breath here together,
Taking in the juiciness of this experience that you have cultivated.
Breathing in.
Well done,
Dear artist.
As always,
For those of you that are joining us live,
I'm going to put some time on the clock and allow us to do some private personal journaling.
For those of you catching us on a replay,
You can do the same.
Thank you for meditating with me this morning.
My name is Darius and we will see you next time.
