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.
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,
Nice and slow.
Beginning to take longer,
Deeper breaths.
Each breath.
We are getting more and more grounded.
We are coming more and more into our bodies.
With each exhale,
We are getting lighter.
And lighter.
And we are making space.
We are making space for blessings.
We are making space.
For the universe.
Bring new.
Joyful,
Loving,
Creative energy.
Into our lives.
Before we go further,
I want to be really honest with you and say this week.
A very dear friend passed away.
And her energy.
Her life.
The way she showed up.
The way she loved.
It's alive in my space and I am pouring it into this meditation,
A reminder of how special,
How precious life is.
So Lisa Goodwin,
Wherever you are.
Please know I love you and we love you and.
.
.
You have blessed my life in so many incredible ways.
And so the energy.
.
.
Of kindness,
Of love,
Of staying open to the end of your life because that's exactly what Lisa did.
The energy of remembering how precious and incredible life is.
To your last breath.
Is exactly what Lisa did and that's alive here.
And if you'd like.
.
.
You can receive that reminder.
And awaken.
And awaken,
And awaken,
And awaken.
To how incredible our lives are.
So let's take a nice deep breath here together.
Breathing in.
Big exhale out.
And with your permission,
I'm going to share a few affirmations to perhaps help us remember really,
Really simple affirmations.
Today I choose.
.
.
To believe in myself.
Today I choose to believe in myself.
Today I choose.
To trust in myself.
Today I choose to trust in myself.
Today.
Is a new day.
Today is a new day and I am choosing to let go of what was.
So that I can step into what is and what could be possible.
Feel the energy of your heart opening,
Your body opening,
Your mind opening.
And letting go of anything that's slowing you down.
Any story,
Any limiting belief of why you can't do it,
We are letting go.
We are letting go,
We are opening to the possibilities of what could be.
Remembering how special,
How precious,
How much of a blessing life is.
I am blessed to be alive.
I am blessed to have a voice,
To have vision.
I am blessed to have a body.
I am blessed to be alive.
Awakening,
Remembering.
That not everyone gets this day.
Awakening remembering that not everyone gets this day.
What you do.
But I do.
But we do.
Let's take a nice deep breath here together.
Breathing in.
Big exhale out.
One day.
All of us will leave this planet.
That's how it works.
One day we must pass.
One day we must die.
That's how it works.
And today.
We are alive.
If you're open to it,
Place one or two hands on your heart.
Connect with your body,
Connect with your human,
Connect with your heart,
Connect with your breath.
Remember.
And awaken.
Remember.
And awaken.
Remember and awaken.
Easy to forget.
How precious our lives are.
It's easy to forget that our humans Are our souls mate?
Our soul cannot experience any of this without our incredible humans.
Our souls mate.
And a very important reminder dear one that we are allowed to have fun.
We are allowed to play,
We are allowed to be light.
We are allowed to have fun,
We are allowed to play,
We are allowed to be light.
We can make this life whatever we choose.
What do you choose to make?
What do you choose to make?
You're allowed to let go of who you thought you were.
You're allowed to let go of who you thought you were.
And step.
And who?
You are becoming.
I'm going to share a few affirmations here and you get to decide if you'd like to take them in.
I am choosing.
To spend the rest of my life.
.
.
Being my own greatest ally.
I am choosing to spend the rest of my life believing in myself.
I am choosing.
To spend the rest of my life Celebrating my human.
I am choosing to spend the rest of my life believing in myself.
I am choosing to spend the rest of my life being my own greatest ally.
I'm choosing to spend the rest of my life celebrating my incredible human.
This is our last song.
We'll leave some space for you to play and explore.
And just one more seed if I can plant is that this life is so precious.
We don't have time.
To waste,
Doubting,
And turning into our own worst enemy.
We don't have time chopping ourselves down.
This life is precious.
This life is incredible.
What will you create,
Dear one?
Bravo dear artist,
Bravo dear creator,
You made it to the end of another meditation and for that.
.
.
I am so grateful.
For those that are joining us live at The Artist Morning.
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share an optional journal prompt that's connected to our theme today.
And of course,
If you're catching us on a replay,
You can do the same.
Put some time on your clock and see what's here and ready to come through you.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
