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.

Our practice today is intended to give you some grounding,

Some courage,

Some focus to help you be seen,

To help you be heard,

And to help you share your gifts with the world.

Let's begin.

If your eyes are open,

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

As we begin to go inwards together,

Let's go nice and slow.

Really give yourself a chance to arrive.

Let's connect with our breath.

Deep breath in,

Hold at the top,

And let it go,

Allowing a gentle softness to work its way down from the top of your head,

Your forehead softening your jaw,

Your neck,

Allowing any tension you're holding in your neck and shoulders to melt away,

Softening down your arms to your fingertips,

Gently working its way down your back,

Your hips,

Down your thighs,

Your knees,

Your shins,

Breathing all the way down into our feet,

The top of your feet,

Your toes,

All the way down to the bottoms of our feet.

If it's available to you,

Taking deep breaths,

Bringing new fresh energy into your body,

All the way down to your feet,

Clearing,

Cleansing,

Letting go of any old stagnant energy that you no longer need.

Today is a new day.

Today is a fresh canvas.

Noticing the rising and falling of your chest as you breathe in and out,

As you breathe in and out.

I'm going to share some affirmations here.

You get to choose which ones you'd like to breathe into your system and which ones you'd like to let just float away.

I am ready to be seen.

I am ready to share my gifts.

Dear universe,

Please guide my hands.

Please quiet my fears.

I am not too late.

I am not too much.

I am exactly who I am meant to be right here,

Right now.

I am exactly who I am meant to be right here and right now.

Continuing to take deep breaths into our heart.

Noticing your posture.

We want to invite a nice,

Tall,

But gentle posture,

Heart and chest open.

Softness in the forehead.

There's nothing we need to think about here.

There's no way we can get this wrong.

We are strong.

We are confident.

And we are gentle.

We are kind.

We are strong.

We are confident.

And we are gentle and we are kind.

Nice,

Deep breath deep into our hearts.

Breathing in.

Hold at the top.

Feel your beautiful heart expanding in every direction.

And big exhale.

I'm going to share some more affirmations now.

Continue breathing into your heart.

Dear universe,

I am open.

Dear universe,

I am ready to receive your love.

I am open.

I am willing.

I am ready to receive your guidance.

And if you're not ready,

That's okay.

There's no timeline.

There's no right or wrong.

Each day is different.

Be gentle with yourself,

Please.

And if you are ready,

It is here.

The love,

The guidance,

The support of the universe is here.

If you'd like to receive,

I want you to imagine there is a beautiful,

Radiant,

Golden light coming from the sky down,

Straight down from the top of your head,

Down,

Down,

Down,

Down,

Down,

Works its way all the way down to your feet.

Can you feel it?

Can you feel this radiant light that is full of love,

Guidance,

Support?

You're open to it.

It is here and ready to bless you.

There is nothing you need to do.

The universe is here.

The universe is here.

The universe is always here,

Always has your back.

Every day,

Things are working in miraculous ways to serve you.

If you are open to it,

I'm going to stay quiet for this song and allow this golden,

Radiant light to continue blessing you.

Before I go,

Let's take one more deep breath.

Deepest of the day,

Keeping our hearts open,

Our spines gently tall,

Our face and neck soft.

Here we go.

Deep breath in.

Hold at the top and let it go.

Bravo,

Dear artist.

This is our last song.

And remember,

Our intention today was to give you confidence,

To give you energy,

To give you focus.

To help you be seen.

I'm going to repeat those affirmations again and then sit back and let you experience,

Explore,

Express.

Here they are again.

I am ready to be seen.

I am ready to share my gifts.

Dear universe,

Guide my hands.

Quiet my fears.

Keep me focused and remind me that I am not too late.

I am not too much.

I am exactly who I am meant to be.

Right here,

Right now.

And let's take another breath together here to bring our meditation to an end.

Deep breath in.

Thank you,

Dear artist.

Thank you,

Dear creator.

Thank you for going on this journey with me.

For those that are joining us live at the artist morning,

I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share a journaling prompt on today's theme and allow us to continue this exploration.

Of course,

If you're catching us on a replay,

Perhaps on Insight Timer,

You can do the same.

Thank you for meditating with me.

My name is Darius and I will see you next time.

Reviews

Thank you Darius for another wonderful meditation. You choose the best music and the perfect affirmations. Just what I needed this morning. I enjoy the deep breathing and how you allow us some quiet space to soak it all in. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.

Thanks Darius, well timed for my life circumstances!

Darius meditations are sincere, insightful, and embody the practice of loving kindness! He reminds each of us, that we have something special to offer the world! During a time in which communities are hurting and suffering disconnection, integrating a practice such as his can offer hope and healing through building self love and connection. Inspiring, his guidance offers a moment to connect with one’s inner self and teaches us to offer ourselves a love we may have never known how to give ourselves previously. I feel that if we can truly learn to meet ourselves and others where they are, and offer this level of acceptance and grace, as shown in these meditations, what a tremendous transformation and difference it would have on everyone we meet! <3

This one was special. I felt gods love and light pouring in. It touched my heart. Grateful for your pure and beautiful meditations🩷

This goes into the Favorites 📂 Thank you so much! Amazing, just what I needed.

I am ready to be seen and to embrace who I am and watch miracles happen! For I am a miracle! All in due time. Without pressure or pushing of my purpose. I am Here!!

❤️ thank you for creating this incredible gift and sharing it with us

At first, I was afraid of possible changes soon to happen. But after this meditation, I've decided to look at it as a great opportunity to expand myself and meet new people. I'm gonna dive headfirst now! I'm excited!

Thank you for this practice this morning D, I appreciate you. Not being one for a lot of affirmations yours today were spot on for my artist soul. My post to insight timer gratitude wall was “Being able to say thank you” Thank you.

I always leave your meditations feeling reaffirmed and uplifted. Thank you dear Darius 🙏🏼💝🌟

Gratitude for your new creations that help and support me so much. Thank you

Thank you my friend for always being a bright light in my morning! Your kindness and positive energy brings me so much happiness.

I loved these affirmations! This is just what I needed to hear to pull me back in to my creative self. I’ve not really been able to focus lately. But it’s time I am seen.
Thanks my friend 🙏🏻💕

Wonderful meditation and as often it was exactly what I needed to hear today ✨🙏🏻

This is exactly what I needed! "I AM READY TO BE SEEN!" I've played small too long. 🙏🏼
