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 help you clear out any energy,
Any thoughts,
Any stories that are holding you back,
That are keeping you small,
And replace them with new energy,
Confident energy,
Clear,
Powerful,
Grounded energy.
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,
Going nice and slow,
Giving yourself a chance to really arrive in this moment,
Allowing your body to settle in,
Allowing our thoughts to slow down,
And allowing all parts of us to really arrive,
To land in this moment,
Right here,
Right now.
There's going to be some breathing with our practice today.
It's very simple.
It's inhales and exhales.
But what we're going to do with our inhales and exhales is we are going to imagine new energy coming in with the inhales,
And old,
Unneeded,
Unwanted energy leaving with our exhales.
I will give you specific affirmations for each inhale and each exhale,
And also leave some space for you to bring your own affirmations in.
They're really simple,
Simple and powerful.
Let's start with a nice deep breath moving from our head to our toes.
Head space into our heart space.
Follow the breath from the tips of your tongue,
From your nostrils,
Down your throat,
Lungs,
All the way into your beautiful heart.
Breathing in.
Hold for a moment.
Exhaling with some noise.
Letting it go.
One more time together.
Breathing in new energy,
Fresh energy,
Clear energy.
Letting go of old,
Stagnant,
Unneeded,
Unwanted energy.
Breathing in confidence.
Feeling your body get more and more confident with the inhale.
Breathing in the energy of confidence.
Breathing out and letting go of doubt.
Breathing in strength.
Feeling yourself getting stronger.
Seeing yourself getting stronger.
Gently,
Lovingly breathing out any weakness.
Breathing in clarity.
Breathing in clarity into your system.
Breathe it in.
Breathing out distraction.
Just take a moment here.
Settle in here.
Find your own breath here.
Allowing a gentle softness to find you.
Softening your forehead,
Softening your shoulders.
Allowing your spine to be tall but gentle.
Our hearts are open and present.
Our feet are grounded.
Breathing in confidence.
Feeling the energy of confidence in your body.
Breathing out doubt.
Letting it go.
What if it turned out better than you could have imagined?
Breathe in that energy.
Wow,
Things are working better than I could have ever imagined.
Breathe that in.
Letting go,
Letting go.
Any stories,
Any feelings,
Anything that you no longer need.
Just let it go.
Wow.
What would you like more of in your life?
There are no right or wrong answers.
I promise you.
What would you like more of in your life?
Maybe it's joy.
Maybe it's peace.
Maybe it's fun.
Let's breathe that in which we'd like to amplify in our lives.
Breathe it in,
Whatever it is.
Breathing it in now.
And let go of anything that's getting in the way.
Just let it go.
You don't need it anymore.
Wow.
Breathing what you want more of into your body,
Into your heart,
Into your spirit now.
Breathe it in.
Feel it inside you.
Feel it working through your body,
Through your cells,
Through your thoughts.
And just let go of anything you no longer need.
Let it go.
Wow.
Your resistance,
Your doubt,
Your uncertainty,
They are not the enemy.
It's just how the human mind works.
We don't need to fight them.
We allow them to be and we introduce other energies.
We intentionally curate our thoughts,
Our relationships,
Our beliefs,
What if it could work out better than you ever imagined?
This is our last song,
Dear artist.
And I want to leave some space for you to feel,
To tap into the energy of your higher self,
To tap into the energy of a life where things turn out better than you could have ever imagined.
Your voice is free.
Your heart is open.
Your feet are planted and grounded into the earth.
And your dreams,
Your dreams are coming true.
Can you feel that energy?
Can you breathe that energy in?
Can you dance with that energy?
I'm going to stay quiet and allow you to play,
To imagine,
And to dream.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
You made it to the end of our meditation today.
And for that,
I'm so grateful.
For those that are joining live at the artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the prompt and allow us to continue this exploration today.
And 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.
