Good morning,
And welcome to the Artist's Morning.
My name's Darius,
And I am so grateful that you and I get this time together.
Let's begin our practice today.
If your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to gently close them now,
As we begin to go inwards together,
Beginning to take a few deeper,
Longer,
Slower breaths,
Allowing any energy from the past night,
From the past day,
Any energy that is stagnant and no longer needed to be gently released through our exhales.
And through our big,
Juicy inhales,
We are imagining new,
Fresh,
Rejuvenating energy coming into our system.
It's really gentle,
Allowing a soft tenderness to work its way through your body.
It has the energetic frequency of a hug from someone you love.
It's warm,
It's soothing,
It's simple.
Today,
With your permission,
I'd like to slow our beautiful minds down a little bit,
And go inwards,
And I'd like to just share some affirmations,
Things you already know.
We're going to remind our mind,
Remind our heart,
Remind our spirit,
So that we can have an incredible day ahead.
There's nothing you need to do.
You get to choose which affirmations you want to receive,
And which affirmations you'd like to just let float away.
Let's start with a nice,
Deep breath here,
Breathing in,
And letting it go with some noise.
I'm going to start us off with some simple affirmations.
Today I choose to believe in myself.
Today I choose to believe in myself.
Today I choose to believe in my community.
I see,
I feel,
I hear how much love,
Kindness,
And support is all around me.
Today I will pour into my community.
I will serve,
I will support the people around me in the best way I can.
Today I will be a vessel for love,
For kindness,
For creative expression.
Today I call in calm,
Clear,
Focused energy.
Today I am calling in calm,
Clear,
And focused energy.
I believe in myself.
I believe in my dreams.
I believe in my value and my worth.
Today I choose to share my gifts with my community.
Today I choose to share my gifts with my community.
Take a moment to feel what that would be like for you to openly,
Effortlessly share your gifts with your community,
Allowing the energy that is here ready to love and support you,
Allowing it in,
Receiving it.
And if today,
In this moment,
You are not feeling up to receiving support,
That's okay.
You can stay with your own energy,
And remember you can come back to this meditation at any time.
And if today,
In this moment,
You are honest with yourself and you are open to receiving love and support,
Let's acknowledge that too.
I am open to receiving love and support.
I am open to receiving love and support.
Allowing the universe to bless you in your day,
Allowing your angels to love and support you,
Allowing all beings that are here now that believe in you,
That want to lift you up,
Allowing them to bless your life.
Just take a moment to feel that.
What's it like?
All beings of light and love,
All supportive energies,
All entities in this realm and other realms that want to love and support you,
You are open to it.
Receive them now.
Breathe them into your heart.
Dear universe,
Please use us as instruments of love.
Use us as vessels for your divine expression.
We are here,
We are ready,
We are open.
We are here,
We are ready,
We are open.
If those statements are true for you,
Just imagine your beautiful radiant heart gently beginning to grow and expand.
This is our last song today.
I'm mostly going to stay quiet,
But before I go,
I want to plant a seed and invite you in to feeling in the energy,
The vibration,
The frequency of what it would be like if today you shared your voice,
You shared your vision,
You shared your gifts with your community,
With the world,
Without expectation,
Without demand,
Just sharing it because it was honest and true and imagining what your day might look like,
Might feel like and have some fun with it.
It can be really joyful and playful too.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
You made it to the end of another meditation and for that I am so grateful.
Thank you for allowing this energy to amplify,
This energy of you in your gifts,
You supporting your community,
You letting your community support you.
That energy not only will impact and bless your day,
It has the possibility and potential to impact and bless your family,
Your friends,
Your community,
Your world.
For those that are joining live at the artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share a journaling prompt to help us go deeper in this experience and continue amplifying that frequency.
Of course,
If you're catching us on a replay,
Perhaps on insight timer,
You can do the same.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
