Good morning and welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name's Darius and I'm so grateful that we get this time together.
Our practice today is an opportunity to unite all your parts.
Each one of us is a multitude of selves.
And before we can step forward into this next chapter,
Into this next level,
If you are open to it,
We're going to spend some time today.
Uniting all of our parts,
Loving,
Honoring,
Respecting all of our parts.
Let's begin by closing our eyes and gently,
Lovingly going inwards together.
Going nice and slow and just noticing where your mind goes,
Where your thoughts go.
No need to fight anything,
No need to force anything.
The invitation here is to allow a softness,
A gentleness.
The invitation here is to use our breath to slow our system down by taking long,
Deep,
Intentional breaths.
We are signaling to our system,
Our mind,
Body,
And soul that we are safe here.
We are safe here.
All parts of us,
All of ourselves are safe here.
We are lovingly welcoming back home,
All of our parts,
Back to our center,
Back to our hearts,
Any part of us that is excited,
That is inspired.
We are welcoming back home here to our hearts.
Any part of us that might be nervous,
That might be uncertain,
We are welcoming back here to our hearts.
All of you is welcome here.
All of you is welcome here.
Inevitably there are parts that might be a little more shy,
A little more reluctant.
We love those parts.
We honor those parts.
There's nothing we need from those parts.
They are welcome here exactly as they are.
Whatever you've been through this year,
Whatever you've been through this decade,
This life,
In this moment,
The invitation is to slow down and welcome all your parts back to this moment here and now.
Together we are infinite.
Together we are infinite.
We are sitting in the energy,
In the frequency of unconditional love.
It might be hard for your brain to understand or accept and that is okay.
Thank you brain for doing the best you can.
This is the gift of our hearts.
Our infinite hearts have the capacity to love fully,
Unconditionally,
Infinitely,
If we allow them.
This is our last song this morning.
I'm going to stay quiet for most of this song.
But before I do,
I want to plant the seed,
The possibility,
A world in which you are able to call home back to your heart,
Back to your center,
All of your parts,
Even the ones that feel left out,
Even the ones that feel shy,
Letting all parts of you know that there is always a home they can come back to.
That every part of you is worthy of love.
That every part of you is worthy of love.
Together we are infinite.
Together we are infinite.
When we slow down and make space for all parts of us to be seen,
To be loved,
To be honored and respected,
We step into a deep empowerment.
We are integrating,
We are uniting,
And we are making space for all of us.
Thank you,
Dear artists.
Thank you,
Dear creator,
For going on this journey with me.
For those that are joining us live at the artist morning,
I'm going to share a journaling prompt and allow us to continue this exploration.
And of course,
If you're catching us on a replay,
Perhaps on insight timer,
You can do the same.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
