Hello and welcome to a very special meditation.
My name is Darius and I am so grateful that you and I get this time together.
My intention with our practice today is to help you and help me and help us bring 2025 to an intentional end so that we can step into 2026 with our hearts open,
With our voice open,
With our spirit set up for success,
Set up for expression,
Set up for freedom.
Whatever happened for you or did not happen for you in 2025,
We're going to take stock of it.
We're going to feel,
We're going to process,
We're going to allow 2025 to nourish and nurture our being so that we can close that chapter and consciously,
With love,
Open the portal that is 2026.
So let's begin our practice.
If your eyes are open,
I want to invite you to close them now.
As we begin to go inwards together,
Nice and slow,
Giving yourself a moment to land here.
Taking longer,
Deeper breaths,
Softening your forehead,
Softening your jaw,
Your shoulders,
Allowing your lungs,
Your heart space to take up more space,
Deep inhales,
Big exhales.
For each one of us,
2025 will be different.
For some amongst us,
Perhaps it was the best year of your life.
You tried things,
You took creative risks,
You expressed yourself,
You met new people.
Take that in,
Breathe that in.
Nourishment,
It's nutrients for your soul.
Breathe in what was 2025.
For some of us,
2025 might have been one of the most difficult years of our lives.
Sadness and loss,
Uncertainty,
Breathe that in.
That too has a way of being nourishment for your spirit,
For your soul.
Whatever happened in 2025 for you,
One thing I know for certain,
You made it through.
You made it through every single one of your most difficult days in 2025 because you are here now,
Listening to my voice.
So take that in.
You made it,
You are here.
No matter what your past year looked like,
Felt like,
You are here.
And if no one's told you yet,
Let me be the first.
I'm proud of you.
I am proud of you for making it through.
You're open to it,
Breathe that in.
Coming back to your heart,
Breathing into your heart space,
Doing the best you can to keep your heart open.
I am here now.
You are here now.
We are here now.
Spine gentle and tall.
Feet grounded.
Heart open.
Voice open.
We are here now.
This is the furthest we've ever been.
We've never made it to this many consecutive days alive.
Think about that.
This is the furthest we've ever made it.
Celebrating how far we've come.
Celebrating everything you've done.
Everything you've been through.
All your dreams,
All your joy,
All your excitement,
All your fear,
All your uncertainty,
And you are here.
Now.
Deep breath in,
Taking in the nourishment.
Taking in everything 2025 has for you.
The ups,
The downs.
There is wisdom here for you.
There is power here for you.
There is love here for you.
Is there something you are ready to let go of?
Is there something,
Someone you are ready to forgive?
That someone can include yourself as well.
Is there a place inside you that you are ready to forgive?
There is someone,
Including yourself,
That you are ready to forgive and you can do so.
Then do so.
Collect that energy you are holding in that space.
You can let it go or you can forgive.
Collect that energy because you're going to need it for 2026.
We are going to intentionally close loops from this past year so that we can collect and pull all available energy for 2026.
So that we can make it an incredible year.
Feel the energy of 2026 coming through.
Your breakout year.
A year full of joy.
Full of excitement.
Full of your dreams coming true.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
We have carved out some time.
To reflect,
To process,
To take in the nutrients from 2025.
We have taken some time to let go,
To forgive,
To close loops and recollect that energy to bring into this new year.
We have one song left and I want to make some space for us to open our hearts,
Open our minds,
Open our being to receiving the love and abundance of the universe.
There are no conditions,
There's no way to get this right or wrong,
I promise.
You decide if you are in a place where you are ready to receive.
And if you are,
Take a deep breath in.
Imagine your heart space opening.
Point your head slightly above eye level.
Just repeat the mantra.
Dear universe,
I am ready to receive.
Dear universe,
I am ready to receive.
Your love,
Your guidance,
Your support.
Dear universe,
I am ready to receive.
This is our last song.
I'm going to stay quiet and allow you to stay in the energy of openness.
Stay in the energy of receiving love and support from the universe.
Remember the mantra.
Dear universe,
I am open to receive.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
You made it to the end of our meditation and for that I'm so grateful.
I'm also so grateful that you and I made it to the end of another year.
I never take that for granted.
Nobody knows how many new years we get.
All of it.
Such a blessing.
So thank you for making my year so special.
Thank you for being a part of the Artist Morning community.
For those joining us live at the Artist Morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share a journaling prompt that's on the theme of our meditation today and allow us to continue going deeper together.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
