Good morning and welcome to the Artist's Morning.
My name is Darius and I am so grateful that you and I get to spend some quality time together this morning.
Today's meditation practice will be on the theme of liberation,
Of freedom,
And adventure.
Today's meditation practice will be an opportunity to step into the energy of yes.
Now there are many reasons to say no,
No thank you,
Maybe next time not interested.
And if you are open to it,
If you are interested,
This meditation will be a safe space for you and I to experiment and explore what the energy of yes could be like.
The end of the meditation of course,
You can put this away and go on with your life,
Or maybe possibly you can allow some of that yes energy to work its way into your day,
Into your life,
Into your heart.
Let's begin our meditation,
If your eyes are open I'd like to invite you to gently close them now.
Let's give ourselves a moment to land here.
It's a new day,
It's a new breath,
It's a new canvas.
Let's begin to just feel what's alive here.
How is your heart this morning?
It's good to ask,
And it's important to listen.
How is your heart this morning?
How are your lungs this morning?
How is your body in general?
Take a moment to scan from the top of your head down to your toes,
Connecting to yourself,
Allowing whatever is here,
Whatever is real,
Just to be.
At the time of making this meditation,
I happen to be somewhere on the planet that is about to start the summer season,
The precious beloved summer season.
All the possibilities,
All the adventures,
All the sunrises and sunsets,
There is a version of us,
There is a version of you that is courageous beyond your imagination.
I want to invite you to tap into the essence,
The energy of that version.
Don't overthink it,
We are playing here.
That version of you embodies the energy of yes.
Yes,
I will go to the beach.
Yes,
I will join you on that trip.
Yes,
I will say hi to that cute human at the coffee shop.
Yes,
I will take this dance.
Each of us is different.
Each of us has a different yes.
And each of us has a last summer.
And for most of us we never know when it will be our last summer.
I hope it's many summers from now.
And for all of us it's possible this could be our last summer.
This could be sad,
This could be many things.
And it could be liberating to step into the preciousness of life.
To say yes when we are not ready.
To say yes when we have butterflies in our stomachs.
To say yes when the outcome is uncertain.
Mr.
Artist,
My question to you is this.
Is there a yes?
You are willing to step into this summer.
Is there an adventure no matter how big or small?
That you are willing to lean into this summer.
Is there something your heart desires to create and to bring into this world?
All answers are welcome.
All of you is welcome.
Let's take a deep breath here together.
Breathing in and just letting it all go.
Maybe there are many answers coming to mind and maybe there are none.
That's okay too.
We have one song left.
I want to leave you with this song.
I want to free you with this song.
You're open to it.
Just imagine what this summer could be.
Imagine what you could create.
Imagine who you could meet.
Imagine and feel who you could be.
Imagine and feel who you could be.
