Good morning,
And welcome to the artist morning My name is Darius,
And I'm so grateful we get this time together today's meditation is Going to be a little different it's an activating wake up meditation there Are times in all of our lives?
Where we can feel Small we can feel Insignificant we can feel Like a little mouse Intimidated by the bigness of the world today's meditation If you are open to it Will bring you into connection with a different part of you not the mouse But the dragon there is a Dragon of light and love Inside each and every one of us a powerful creature That can breathe light and fire Into this world now Everyone might have a different interpretation of dragon and they can be scary and they can be Mean and evil that is not the dragon.
I am talking about this dragon is a magical Dragon a powerful dragon a dragon That wants to spread love Light and power into the world I've said a lot of things allow yourself a moment to let it land and Check in to see if you are interested in a meditation this morning Intended to wake you up to the power That exists inside you and if you are ready to proceed Let's begin our meditation By finding a nice comfortable seat There will be breath work for today's meditation.
So it's important that you are not driving and That you are in a safe space where we can breathe together Your eyes are open.
Let's close them now as we begin to go in words together Beginning to take deeper breaths Allowing ourselves to slow down Gently going in words into our center into our heart space I'd like to invite you to take the deepest breath you've taken all day and on your exhale Really bring your awareness To your voice the sound of your voice as you exhale the vibrations inside your body your heart your lungs your throat your mouth as you exhale taking a nice deep breath in and Letting it go with some noise And maybe it's easy and comfortable for you to make some noise and maybe it's not wherever you are Just notice Maybe the breath and the noise is the breath and noise of a mouse tiny small Inconspicuous We all have a mouse part inside us and I want to send that mouse part some love to and we all have a dragon inside of us a powerful creature of light and love a creature that breathes fire a Benevolent kind loving fire Can you start to feel?
The dragon inside you Maybe it's subtle.
Maybe you can feel 1% of the power of this creature and maybe you can feel more if you are interested in connecting with this dragon inside I Will guide you step one quiet the mind step two Open your heart step three Use your breath to go deep and find your light now This light might be Subtle might be a tiny speck of light deep inside you It might be a crack that allows the light to shine through this fire inside each and every one of us and Maybe this morning your light is not small Wherever you are on that spectrum,
I promise you That light that fire is inside you with every inhale We call upon this light We pull the light up With every exhale like a dragon we breathe this light into the world Breathing in Find the light Breathing out Share your light At your own pace continue breathing in finding the light Breathing out spreading and sharing your light Breathing in holding holding holding Spread your light dear artist into the world Moment here to notice if anything feels different.
Are you able to?
Connect with this infinite light source Inside you I promise you you don't need to overthink over work It's there Taking a moment to embody this loving dragon Straightening our spine a nice tall spine shoulders gently back Giving our hearts and our lungs Capacity to take up space chin up and pointed forward Can you feel the power in?
Your back in your shoulders It's a gentle confidence We're gonna continue breathing With each inhale pulling the light up with each exhale imagining your light spreading into the world Ah the noise spreads the light the breath spreads the light and allowing your body to move as It wants to maybe there's a gentle sway from left to right.
Maybe it's perfectly still Can you feel your dragon?
Can you feel the power inside you?
Are you willing?
To free your voice Are you willing to stand in your power and take up space?
Imagining with each exhale You are bringing light to your body to your space to the world Let's do that together deep breath in mouth pointed to the sky I Let that light out into the world with your exhale now And maybe for you and your dragon there is some pleasure some relief find your own breath Trust your body Does it want deep breaths?
Does that feel good?
Does it want shorter breaths?
Does it want?
Loud breathing so you can hear your exhales.
Just trust yourself here We are about to go into our last song Remember at the beginning I told you this is an activating meditation a wake-up meditation Sometimes that means a movement meditation Your body will want to sway Trust your body if it wants to stand still stand still and if you want to move a little bit You want to take up space and make noise?
This is our last song it will be more energized and my intention is to give you and your dragon some time some space To dance together to explore together to awaken to the power That has always been inside you Let's take a nice deep breath To bring our meditation to an end here breathing in and letting it go Bravo dear artist Bravo dear creator Bravo dear dragon Maybe Your dragon is awakened.
Maybe your dragon is asleep still Maybe your dragon is 1% more awake Be gentle be kind.
Remember you can come back to this meditation at any time and mostly remember even if You resist Your dragon is always there Find the light spread the light be the light Thank you for meditating with me for those that are joining us live at the artist morning I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share our journaling prompt with you for this morning and allow us to do some private personal journaling and Continue this dance with our dragon And of course if you're catching us on a replay perhaps on insight timer You can do the same put some time on your own clock and see what's here Alive and ready to be expressed through you Thank you.
Once again,
My name is Darius and I will see you next time
