Good morning,
And welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name's Darius,
And I'm so grateful that you and I get this time together.
Let's begin our practice.
If your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to close them now.
As we go inwards together,
Going nice and slow,
Beginning to take longer,
Deeper breaths,
Signaling to our body that we are safe here,
We are allowed to go slow here,
We are allowed to rest here,
Sitting with a gentle but tall spine,
Dropping your shoulders,
Softening your forehead,
Softening your jaw,
Beginning to take deep breaths into your heart,
And falling into the hypnotic rhythm of your body's inhales and exhales,
Inhales and exhales,
Noticing your chest and your belly as it rises and falls,
Rising and falling,
As we slow down,
As we take deeper breaths,
Even as we make noise with our exhales,
We are letting our body know,
Letting our mind know,
We are safe here.
We are held here.
We are whole.
Each one of us is on our own journey,
No matter what you've done,
What you've been through,
What you're going through,
You are here now,
We are here now,
And if you are open to it,
The intention of this meditation is to help you reset your energy,
Recharge your energy,
And to help you remember you really are,
And why you are here.
So take a nice deep breath,
Let's breathe together,
Deep breath in,
Hold at the top,
Big exhale with some noise out,
If you are ready,
I will guide you.
Sitting with a tall but gentle spine,
All of your chakras,
All of your energy systems,
Imagine they are aligning in the middle of your body,
The middle of your mind,
All your energy centers are coming in alignment now,
Take a deep breath in,
Imagine that alignment,
Energy centers coming in alignment now,
Breath out,
Your body knows how to reset,
Your being knows how to reset,
Something has thrown you off alignment,
Now is your opportunity to reset and let go,
There's nothing you need to do here,
Your body knows,
Your mind knows,
Your heart knows what you no longer need,
What you can let go of,
Imagining chakras,
Imagining energy centers,
Imagining channels aligning now,
Anything that was throwing them out of alignment,
Just fading away,
Your energy,
Your focus,
Your power is aligning now,
Resetting back to center and from this realigned,
Re-centered state,
We are going to breathe and recharge,
We are going to pull new energy,
Fresh energy,
Recharging energy into our mind,
Body and spirit now,
Deep breath in,
Big exhale out,
Recharging,
Bringing fresh power infused,
Joy infused,
Pleasure infused,
Creativity infused,
Energy into your cells,
Resetting,
Realigning,
Recharging now,
Resetting,
Realigning,
Recharging now,
Continue taking deep breaths,
Tall,
Gentle spine,
From this reset,
Realign,
Recharge state,
We are able to remember,
Can you remember who you really are,
Dear artist,
Connecting with the energy of your spirit,
There's nothing you need to do here,
There's nothing that needs to happen,
Maybe for you remembering is a vision,
Is a color,
Is a smell,
Maybe it's a sensation,
Maybe it's a breath,
Maybe it's a dance,
Maybe it's all of the above,
Maybe it's none of the above,
What do you remember about your spirit,
Maybe you believe in spirit and soul and maybe you don't and that's okay too,
I'm gonna say something here that might sound harsh and I'm gonna say something here that might wake you up to a reality that all of us must acknowledge,
Tomorrow is promised to no one,
God willing you and I will be here tomorrow but nobody really knows,
So if there is something your spirit,
Your soul has come here to do,
No matter how big or small,
Maybe today is the day you say yes,
This is our last song dear artist,
I'm gonna stay quiet and let you reflect on that idea,
Tomorrow is promised to no one and today you and I are here,
What will you create with this new day?
Bravo dear artist,
You made it to the end of another meditation and for that I am so grateful,
For those that are catching us live at the artist morning,
I'm gonna put 20 minutes on the clock,
Share a journal prompt on today's theme and allow us to continue exploring,
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.
