Good morning,
And welcome to the Artist Morning Writers Club.
My name is Darius,
And this is a short guided meditation made specifically for new and emerging writers.
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,
Gently,
Slowly,
Taking deeper,
Longer breaths,
Signaling to your mind and body that you are safe here,
You are allowed to slow down,
You are allowed to go deeper,
And you are definitely allowed to connect with the wisdom that exists inside your heart,
And let's start with a simple question.
How is your heart this morning?
How is your heart this morning?
Continue taking deep breaths,
And I want to encourage you to start making some noise with your exhales.
We want to make sure your voice knows that it's safe here.
We want to make sure your voice knows that it's important and it's needed here.
We start to do that by freeing our voice,
Allowing it to take up space with our exhales.
Let's practice that together.
Deep breath in,
Hold at the top,
Big exhale out with some noise,
And as we let go,
We allow anything that doesn't serve us in this moment,
Any old stories,
Any old beliefs,
Any old energy,
We let it leave our system with our exhales.
Let's take a deep breath together,
Breathing in,
Letting go of anything you no longer need.
Where do your stories live?
Where does your deepest wisdom,
Your deepest truths,
Where do they come from?
Is there something you are ready to share with the world?
Is there a story?
Is there a practice?
Is there some sort of guidance that lives inside you,
Perhaps inside your glorious heart,
That is ready to be shared with the world?
Continue taking deep breaths into your heart,
Imagining your heart expanding,
Growing in every direction gently,
Lovingly,
Taking up more space,
Feeling more confident.
Is there a story inside your heart that is ready to be shared today?
It can be so simple and light,
It can be entertaining,
Inspiring,
Cathartic.
There's no right or wrong way to approach this question.
There's no story you need to tell.
You get to choose which stories,
Which wisdoms,
Which pieces of you,
You would like to share today.
This is our last song.
I'm going to stay quiet and just let you explore the possibilities.
And let's take a deep breath to bring our meditation to an end.
Breathing in,
Big exhale out.
Maybe the story that you're going to work on today is crystal clear to you and maybe you've got pieces,
Fragments,
And that's okay too.
Every day will be different.
Every story will have a slightly different journey through you and out into the world.
For those that are joining us live at the Artist Morning Writers Club,
I'm going to put 66 minutes on the clock and allow us to continue bringing this story to life.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
