Good morning and welcome to the Artist's Morning.
My name is Darius and this is a very special guided meditation.
It's a meditation intended specifically to help you bring closure to this past year of 2021 and to step into this new year of 2022 with intention,
With purpose,
And with power.
There's a lot that has happened in this past year,
In this past two years.
We've all been through so much.
I can say a lot of things about 2021.
But one thing's for certain,
If you are listening to this meditation,
You made it to this point.
You are here.
You are resilient.
You are resourceful.
And maybe,
Just maybe,
You are ready for the best year of your life.
As with all of my meditations,
Please remember that this is your journey,
Your experience.
There will be invitations and you get to decide if you are ready,
If you are willing to lean into them.
Everyone is different.
Every day is different.
Trust your intuition.
As we come back to the silence,
Let's give ourselves a moment here to land,
Land in our seats,
Land in our bodies.
Give ourselves a moment just to feel what's alive inside us now.
Take a nice deep breath here together.
Wherever you're feeling,
Wherever you're at,
I want to remind you that all of it and all of you are welcome here.
Take a moment to see how that impacts your body,
Your being.
All of it and all of you are welcome here.
What is it like to experience permission to be yourself?
Are you able to open?
Are you able to soften?
Perhaps resistance shows up.
If so,
Your resistance is welcome here.
If you are open to it,
There is ease and comfort and rest for you here.
Are you willing to accept it?
If so,
Allow it to work its way into your body from the top of your head,
Your crown,
Opening a golden light of warmth and love as it works its way down your forehead,
Softening,
Softening your eyes,
Your jaw,
Even your nose and your tongue,
Softening your neck,
Your shoulders,
Working its way down your torso,
Down your pelvic region,
Your thighs,
Down your shins,
Your feet,
Your toes,
Just this beautiful warm golden wrap around you.
Noticing you are open to support here,
It feels nice for you to be held,
To be supported,
To be soothed.
Take a big juicy deep breath,
Breathing in.
Can you feel it?
Can you feel that fire inside your belly?
Maybe it's a small little flame,
And maybe it's not.
That fire,
It's always been there.
That fire is connected to your greatness.
It can energize you,
It can fuel you.
If you are open to it,
Perhaps that fire is ready,
Ready to grow and expand.
I invite you to take deep breaths,
Deep into your belly,
And with each breath,
I want you to imagine that fire growing and expanding.
Pay attention to see if you can feel the pleasure,
The joy,
And the power this fire has inside your body.
This fire not only empowers you,
But if you are open to it,
This fire will burn away any past limiting beliefs.
It will burn away stories that are holding you back.
It will burn away who you thought you were.
As it grows,
You are able to feel your greatness,
Dear artist.
You are able to remember why you chose to come to this planet,
To have this human experience.
Simultaneously getting bigger,
Bolder,
Braver,
And lighter.
Letting go of anything that does not serve you now,
Allowing this golden fire to cleanse,
To lovingly burn away any story,
Any belief that does not serve your highest interest.
Can you feel that fire?
Can you feel the possibilities that are opening up for this new year?
If there is something you are ready to let go of,
Someone you are ready to forgive,
I invite you to do it now,
Allow this beautiful cosmic fire to cleanse,
Refresh you,
Reset you,
And perhaps get you ready for the best year of your life.
I'm going to stay quiet and allow you to experience the fullness of this golden fire now.
I invite you to do it now.
Bravo,
Dear artist,
Bravo,
Dear creator.
Our meditation is almost complete.
But before we go,
Before we start another year,
I wanted to give you an opportunity to have a moment with your human,
Your body,
Your vessel,
Perhaps your greatest companion and ally.
You and your human have been through so much and maybe just maybe 2022 is going to be the greatest year of your life.
Before we dive into this new year,
I wanna invite you to place your hands on your heart and on your stomach.
And just take a moment to be here with your beloved human,
Remembering how much you've been through together,
How resilient you are together,
How much love you've experienced,
How many challenges and perhaps heartbreak you've gone through,
But you're still here together.
Your journey,
Your cosmic roller coaster ride is still going.
I wanna invite you to place your hands anywhere on your chest,
Anywhere on your body that feels comforting,
Supportive and just be with your human for one last moment as we close this meditation.
I'm gonna stay quiet and give you guys a chance to connect here.
I'm gonna stay quiet and give you guys a chance to connect here.
I'm gonna stay quiet and give you guys a chance to connect here.
I'm gonna stay quiet and give you guys a chance Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
You made it to the end of this meditation.
I'm so grateful we've had this time together.
Of course,
The end of this meditation is in reality the beginning of something new.
A new day.
A new year.
And nobody knows where exactly it will take you or take me.
But my belief is every moment we have here in this human experience as a gift is an opportunity to make something beautiful with our lives.
I hope you have the year of your dreams.
I hope it's full of adventure and creativity and wonder and awe.
Thank you for meditating with me this year.
Thank you for meditating with me this morning.
My name is Darius.
Before we go,
One last thing,
Of course,
For those of you joining us live,
I'm going to put some time on the clock and allow you to do some personal,
Private journaling.
And for those of you catching us on a replay,
You can do the same.
You might just be surprised what's here and ready to express through you.
