Experimental Thought Meditation

In this soul meditation, we play around with the concept and idea of, "I am not a human. I am a soul having a human experience." And, what if my human is my soul's mate? Take it for a spin and see if you learn something new about yourself.

Transcript

Good morning and welcome to The Artist's Morning.

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

Before we dive into our practice today,

I want to share that it's a bit different.

If you've been meditating with me for a while,

You know that every once in a while I like to incorporate almost experimental practice.

Some people love the outside-of-the-box meditations I make and some people prefer the more traditional meditations.

What's important about today's meditation is that yes,

I will share a concept and an idea that we will repeat several times.

And maybe you believe in this concept and this idea and maybe you don't.

The invitation is to treat it like a thought experiment.

Take it for a spin and see if on the other side of this idea,

Maybe,

There is some new information for you.

Let's begin our practice.

If your eyes are open,

I'd like to invite you to close them now.

As we begin to go inwards together,

To deepen the experience,

All you'll need to do is take a few deeper,

Longer breaths.

These deep breaths will slow your thinking,

Move you from your headspace gently,

Lovingly into your heart space.

As we breathe deeper,

We are also going to soften gently,

Slowly,

Softening the muscles around your forehead,

Softening your jaw,

Your neck,

Shoulders.

There's something you are holding on your shoulders,

In your neck.

You are allowed to let it go.

Drop your shoulders and just let whatever,

That thing you were holding,

That tension,

Just to melt away.

You are safe here.

You are safe here.

You are safe here.

Such a simple affirmation.

And honestly,

Every time I say it,

I get emotional.

I am safe here.

I am safe here.

I am safe here.

Let's take a moment to acknowledge here.

Let's take a moment to acknowledge that you are here now.

It's such a simple statement.

I am here now.

I am here now.

I am here now.

I am here now.

I'd like to invite you to try to say it a few times,

Perhaps in different ways,

In different tones,

And see if you notice anything new or unexpected.

I have a question for you,

Dear artist.

Who is here now?

Who is the I in which we are referring to?

Is it your voice?

Is it your eyes?

Is it your brain?

Is it your heart?

What if it wasn't coming from your human?

What if it wasn't coming from your human?

Stay with me.

What if you are not a human?

What if you are a soul having a human experience?

I'm sure you have heard this before.

I am a soul having a human experience.

Maybe you have even subscribed to this belief and you've shared it before.

I am a soul having a human experience.

And sometimes this thing that is right in front of us,

That is so common,

Can be missed.

So if you're open to it,

I'm going to repeat this concept a few times.

And the invitation is to explore if there is a deeper level of understanding here.

Let's take a deep breath here and let it go.

I am not a human.

I am not a human.

I am not a human.

I am a soul having a human experience.

I am a soul having a human experience.

What if I was not a human,

But instead I was a soul having a human experience?

And my human was my soul's mate.

And my human was my soul's mate.

I'm going to say it again.

And maybe a part of your brain is like,

This is repetitive,

I get it,

Darius.

And the invitation is,

Is there anything more to get here?

Is there a deeper way of listening with more than just your ears?

What if I'm not a human?

What if I am not a human?

What if I get a human?

What if I get a human?

What if my human is a gift,

A blessing?

What if I am a soul having a human experience and my human is my soul's mate?

What if my human is my soul's mate?

What if everything I was looking for out there was already here now?

This is our last song,

Dear artist,

And I'm going to stay quiet and allow you to explore.

Bravo,

Dear artist,

You made it to the end of our meditation,

Of our little experiment.

Maybe there's something new for you here,

There's some new information,

A new feeling,

A remembering,

An awakening,

And maybe not.

What's interesting is you can come back to this meditation at any time and deepen the experience.

After 41 years of life with my human,

I've come to understand that sometimes the simplest things are the most profound things.

Sometimes the most powerful awakenings are right under our nose.

You know what else is literally right under our nose?

Our beautiful hearts.

I don't think that was by accident,

And I know for myself,

If I ever feel lost,

All I need to do is put one hand on my heart and take a deep breath and find my way home.

Thank you for meditating with me.

For those that are experiencing this meditation live at the artist's morning,

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

I'm also going to share a journaling prompt that's connected to our theme today.

And of course,

If you're catching us on a replay,

Perhaps on Insight Timer,

You can do the same.

Thank you once again,

My name is Darius,

And I will see you next time.

Beautiful!!! My soul and my human are divine soulmates! So very true. When we evolve and become our higher selves — it is that connection between our souls and our humans uniting as one Being. It’s a miracle that each of us have been given by God. Blessings and gratitude for this meditation. Love to everyone!! Tracy

Loved 🥰 it!! I’m a soul living a human experience 💓🍀🌷👏🏻👏🏻✨🙏🏼✨😘😘

Oh my goodness this was phenomenal. I will save this one and play it over and over again in the future. So much gratitude for you on here and all that you offer. Namaste 🙏

Amazing start to my morning. What a beautiful day

Such a profound meditation. Accepting this idea brings me to acceptance in life overall: my needs, my limits. Thank you!

I enjoyed this experiment & definitely connected with it! Thank you ☺️

Love the thought of being a soul in a human body. Makes me feel as I can accept my body better. 🙏

That was pretty cool. I will need to come back to
it a few times, I think, and continue to explore this idea. Of course I have heard it before, but I have never dug into what it means for me to be a soul having a human experience. Thanks!

You planted this seed in one of your other meditatons. I didn't forget it, the idea came back from time to time. And it's so good you brought it back, even stronger. I want to feel deeper into it and find out how this seed affects me. Thank you Darius, a very interesting ecxperiment! 😌🙏

Bravo! Your human might be 41, but your soul has been around a very long time Darius. I loved this … thank you!

Love this so much, dear Darius! It brought me a deep sense of peace 🙏🏼💝🌟
