Good morning and welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name is Darius and today's meditation practice will be on the theme of creativity.
Specifically,
I will guide you through a practice that will help you open your channels,
Your creative channels,
To the infinite possibilities,
To the infinite creativity that is available to you,
To me,
And to all of us,
Always.
Let's begin our meditation.
Your eyes are open.
I invite you to close them now.
As we go inwards together.
Give yourself a moment to land.
It's a new day.
It's a new you.
It's a brand new canvas.
Let's begin by feeling what's alive in here now.
Becoming aware of your breath.
Is it shallow?
Is it deep?
Noticing the rising and falling of your breath.
As the music goes away,
Sometimes our ability to hear is louder.
Notice any noises in your space.
Notice any sensations in your body.
Let's take a deep breath together now.
I'll invite you to continue taking nice,
Deep,
Juicy breaths throughout the meditation.
Imagining with each inhale,
You are allowing new,
Vibrant colors from the universe to come into your mind,
Your heart,
Your body.
And with each exhale,
Imagining any old energy,
Any stagnant,
Heavy energy,
Gently,
Easily leaving your entire system in exchange,
New energy in.
Old,
Unwanted energy out.
New,
Vibrant colors in.
Old colors that are no longer needed out.
Continue breathing on your own.
If you notice any tension in your forehead,
If you're thinking too much,
This is your moment to bring softness,
Gentleness to your forehead,
To your eyes,
To your jaw.
Let that softness just melt away all tension,
Softening down your shoulders and neck,
Down your back,
Down your legs,
Your feet.
Allowing this softness to calm your energy.
With each breath,
Expanding your heart space,
Expanding your ability to hold new energy.
You are a channel for the universe.
You,
Dear artist,
Are a channel for divine expression.
If you are open,
If you are willing,
I invite you to open your channels now.
Use your breath to expand your heart,
Expand your lungs,
Expand your capacity to hold the divine expression of the universe within you.
You,
Dear artist,
Are a channel for divine expression.
You are here to create.
You are here to express yourself,
Your truest self.
Perhaps,
Like me,
You are here for adventure.
I will repeat those statements in I AM form and if it feels right,
I encourage you to take it into your system,
Plant the seed and let it grow.
I am here to create.
I am here to express.
I am here for adventure.
How do those statements feel in your body?
Do they feel true for you?
If so,
There is an opportunity now to open your channels,
Allowing all the colors of the universe to flow through you.
I am a vessel.
I am a channel for divine expression.
Dear universe,
Please use me.
Use me as a tool.
Use me as your paintbrush.
I am a channel for your divine expression.
I am here to create.
I am here to express.
I am here for adventure.
In every moment,
You and I have access to the exact energy and essence that existed in all of the greatest artists to ever live.
I am going to say that again because it is very powerful.
In every moment,
You and I have access to the exact energy and essence that existed in the greatest artists ever.
You are a channel.
If you are open and willing,
I invite you now to open your channels and allow all the colors of the universe to flow through you now.
I am a channel.
I am a channel for divine expression.
There is joy here.
Can you feel it?
There is play.
There is fun.
There is lightness.
Can you feel it?
There is joy.
There is joy.
I am grateful that you made it here.
I am grateful that you felt however open or resistant you were.
As always with the artist morning,
If you are joining us live,
I will put 15 minutes on the clock for you and I to do some private personal journaling.
If you are joining us on a replay,
Of course you can do the same.
Put 15 minutes on your own clock and see what is here.
See what this meditation brought up for you.
An opportunity to express and truly open those channels.
Thank you for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and we will see you next time.
