Good morning and welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name is Darius and wherever you are in the world,
Whatever you're going through in the world,
Whatever time it is,
In the place you are in the world,
You and I are here together and for that I am grateful.
Today's meditation practice will be on the theme of love,
Specifically there will be an invitation to see if you would like to call in new love,
Call in new love into your life.
Now new love can mean a variety of things and you get to decide what that means for you.
It could be calling in a new love relationship with someone new,
It can be a new experience of love with someone you've been with for however long,
And it can also be a new love experience with yourself.
Many paths you,
Dear artist,
Get to decide but before any of that let's take a minute together just to land in our seats.
Let's land in this morning,
This new morning we have together,
Taking a nice deep breath and just letting it all go.
Continuing to take easy breaths on your own now and if your eyes are open I invite you to close them now as we go inwards together.
Just take a moment to connect with ourselves,
Just taking a moment to connect with your breath this morning,
Noticing if it's shallow or deep,
Is it audible,
Can you hear it,
Can you feel it on the tips of your tongue,
In your nostrils,
Does your breath have a rhythm,
Can you notice the rising and falling of your chest as you breathe in and out.
How is your heart this morning,
How is your heart?
Remember there are no right or wrong answers,
There's nothing you need to do,
There's no performing here,
It's entirely private,
Just feel and experience and connect with yourself here.
Taking another deep breath now,
What I'd like to do now,
You are open if you are interested,
Is I'd like to invite you and I to call in the energy and essence of a beautiful love story this summer,
Beautiful,
Meaningful love relationship.
Calling it in,
Again it can be with someone you are already in a relationship with,
It could be with someone you've never met before and it can also be with yourself.
Calling in adventure,
Calling in kindness,
Calling in play and joy.
What would it look like for you to be fully in love this summer?
Don't overthink it,
Maybe it's just flashes,
Moments,
Pictures of inspiration that drop in and maybe you have clear vision of what that looks like.
There's no right or wrong here,
Just feel the excitement of love,
Feel it in your body if you can.
What would it be like if you were fully in love this summer?
Calling in the energy and essence of a beautiful and meaningful love affair this summer,
Feeling deep connection with yourself,
With your community,
With your world,
Imagining what that could feel like.
Whether you have it already or you've never experienced it before,
It's here,
It's possible.
Are you open to it?
Are you interested in it?
You,
Dear artist,
Are worthy of the greatest love story ever.
What does that look like for you?
I'm going to stay quiet for the remainder of the meditation and place the paintbrush with the paint and the canvas in front of you and let you play and experience what beautiful summertime love story could look like for you.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
Wherever you went,
Whatever you felt,
However open or resistant you were,
One thing's for certain,
If you are hearing my voice now,
You made it.
You made it through this meditation and for that I am grateful.
My hope for you is that this summer will be full of love,
Full of play,
Full of adventure and creativity for you,
Whatever that means for you.
Thank you for meditating with me this morning.
For those of you joining us live at artist morning,
I'll put 15 minutes on the clock and give you an opportunity to use wherever this meditation has taken you to express yourself through private personal journaling.
And of course,
If you're joining us on a replay,
You can do the same.
See what's here and ready to be expressed through you.
My name's Darius and we will see you next time.
