Calling Back Your Power To Share More Of Your Gifts

In this guided meditation and visualization, we acknowledge and patch the leaks so you can reclaim your energy and come back to center. It's okay to care about what's happening in the world, but there is a limit to what you can pay attention to and give.

Stay grounded. Joy, hope, pleasure, and love are all available here now. This is where creativity happens.

Optional journaling prompts:
What type of impact do you want to make in your community and in the world?

Take a few deep breaths. Slow down and ask your heart.

Then, let your pen explore how you truly want to use your remaining time on Earth.

Good morning and welcome to The Artist's Morning.

My name is Darius and I'm so grateful that you and I get this time together.

There are so many ways for us to give away our power.

There are so many ways and so many things that will pull our attention,

Our focus and our energy away from ourselves,

Away from our goals,

Away from the pursuit of our dreams.

Today's practice is intended to help you come back to yourself,

Help you pull back any of that energy that is leaking out into the world so that you can continue stepping forwards towards your own dreams,

So that you can continue sharing your gifts with the world.

Let's take a nice deep breath here,

Begin our practice together intentionally.

Breathing in,

Big exhale out,

Going nice and slow,

Softening your forehead,

Softening your jaw,

Your shoulders,

Your back,

Allowing the softness to work its way down your hips,

Your thighs,

Your knees,

And shins,

Gentle,

Loving softness all the way down to your feet.

Let's take a deep breath in together,

Breathing in,

Big exhale out.

So many things that will pull our energy away from our center,

Away from our home,

Away from our hearts,

And there's nothing wrong with that,

It's a part of the human condition.

We see what others are doing and we compare ourselves.

Imagine as you are doing that,

The energy from your heart,

It comes up and out and leaks to the left,

It's pouring out to the left,

What are they doing?

Look at them,

I can't compare to them.

Imagine that leak of energy pouring out to your left.

Don't worry,

We're gonna pull it back in a moment.

Energy leaking out,

Distracting you,

Taking your momentum away,

So we're gonna intentionally take our left hand,

Extend it all the way to the left,

And gently pull that energy back,

Back,

Back,

Back,

Back all the way down to your heart.

We are patching that leak,

We are pulling that energy back,

Whatever they are doing,

They are doing,

We send them love,

We send them kindness,

Their path is their path,

Their timeline is their timeline.

We are here now.

Feel your heart,

Feel your power.

This moment here with your heart is the most powerful position you can be in.

You can bring your hand down now.

So many things to distract us,

The world can be a noisy place.

On the right hand side,

There are all these possibilities,

All these noisy entities and voices and your social media feed and the news and all the things that want to remind us of what's going on.

What's wrong with the world,

They're distracting us.

It's okay to care about what's happening in the world,

But there's a limit.

Things can steal our energy if we allow them to.

Imagine energy coming up from your heart and pouring to the right side.

All these things founded in fear and don't worry,

We're going to patch this one too.

We are going to patch this leak,

But first be aware of it.

Now you're going to take your right hand out,

Extend all the way out and pull your energy back,

Back,

Back,

Back,

Back to your heart.

Patching this leak.

My energy is my energy.

I have things to do.

I have things I want to create.

I have an impact I want to make in my world.

I'm going to pull my energy back here.

Now,

Feel your heart.

You are here now.

The past is behind you.

The future is not yet here yet.

We are present in this moment.

We're going to take our left hand and put it on our heart as well.

Pulling all our energy back here now.

Can you feel the joy available here?

There's hope here.

There's pleasure here.

There's love here.

Even if you can feel at one percent,

That one percent is a powerful seed.

What do you feel here,

Dear artist?

What do you feel here?

You can place your hands back down.

From this place.

Here now.

I want to invite us to play with the energy of possibility.

Yes,

There are many things that can pull our energy away from us.

And now our energy is here with us.

Play with me for a moment.

What if things turned out better than you could have ever imagined?

Play in that energy.

What if your creative project made a bigger impact than you could have ever imagined?

What if that relationship with that special person went better than you could have ever imagined?

What if you found the way to get your health and vitality to incredible places?

Feel the energy.

Feel the energy of your body being healthy and strong and confident and brave.

Continue taking deep breaths.

Don't overthink this.

Let's just play in the energy of possibility.

If you can't think of anything,

That's okay.

Just feel.

Stay with your heart.

Imagine your heart smiling.

Staying with our heart,

Staying present with our center.

This is the place where creation actually happens from.

Whatever happened in the past is the past.

Whatever distracted you,

Whatever took your energy,

That's okay.

We reset.

We realign.

We recharge.

And we go again from here and now.

This is our last song this morning,

Dear artist.

If there's any energy that you are allowing to leak out,

Pull it back now.

Anything that is taking your momentum,

Your focus,

Pull it back now.

And then from this place,

This realigned place,

Begin to imagine the endless possibilities.

I'm going to stay quiet for the rest of the song and allow you to play.

Bravo,

Dear artist.

Bravo,

Dear creator.

You made it to the end of another meditation,

And for that I am so grateful.

For those joining live at the artist's morning,

I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share a journaling prompt and allow us to do some private personal journaling.

And 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.

You took me to the stars and back Darius! I am so grateful for this inspiring meditation 🗝💛🗝

Wow Darius, once again, your meditation found me at the perfect time. Over the last several months I have felt so deficient of my energy, and I have been struggling to call it back. In the last week itself, I have found myself completely depleted. From the outside noise of the world, to petty crap at work, then dealing with my health stuff on top of it all, I find myself suffering with panic attacks more and I feel so devoid of all the things that bring me joy. The exercise of calling my energy back from the left and the right helped refill my empty tank. I feel so much lighter than when I started. Thank you so very much Darius. I’m going to keep this bookmarked so I can revisit this one I need some prompts to breathe and to recollect my energy. Blessings to you. ♥️

Beautiful! Was nice to visualize the leaks so that I can remember how to patch them in the future. Thank you ♥️

Thank you, Darius. I'm feeling energized and will keep it with me during this day. Ready to create!

This left me feeling happy, lighter, and with real positive energy.

It’s a dark quiet morning and the stars are out. It’s my favorite time of the day. And I’m always looking for the Northern Lights. They have been absolutely amazing lately.

This meditation made me think how lucky I am, I have great people in my life, I try really hard to center and balance myself. I fill my day with gratitude for everything I have. I’m trying to live with joy so I don’t watch much of what’s going on out there in this world. The negativity and the hurtful comments…. I just don’t want or need. Instead I want to give back with kindness and love. Somedays yes it can be a challenge but I’m truly blessed to be able to give back.
Thank you as always my friend for such positive and powerful words. They are making me a better person. 💕🙏🏻
