Hello and welcome to the Artist's Morning Writers Club.
My name is Darius,
And I'm 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 gently close them now as we begin to go inwards together,
Starting to take deeper,
Longer breaths,
Allowing new creative energy in with our inhales,
And letting go of old,
Stagnant energy with our exhales.
As we take deeper breaths,
We are energizing our system.
As we take deeper breaths,
We are grounding.
Take a moment to feel your feet beneath you.
Perhaps they are making contact with the ground,
Noticing the stability,
The consistency,
How solid the floor,
The ground,
The earth is beneath you.
And from this place,
I want you to imagine roots growing from beneath you,
From your feet down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down into the earth,
And the earth will support you.
The earth will gladly receive any energy that you no longer need,
Any anxious energy,
Any uncertain energy,
Any doubtful energy.
Imagine working its way down your body,
Down through the roots,
Down into the earth,
And the earth has this incredible way of alchemizing that energy into nourishment.
So if there's something you want to let go of,
Give it to the earth now.
I am letting go of anxious thoughts.
I am letting go of uncertainty and stress.
I am letting go of old stories and narratives that no longer serve me.
Take a nice deep breath,
Allowing new creative energy to pour into you and letting go.
The earth will take it.
The earth will transmute it.
And then we find ourselves here and now,
Lighter,
More open,
More resourced,
Lighter,
More open,
More resourced,
Feet grounded,
Tall,
Gentle spine,
Heart open,
Voice open,
Vision open,
All ready to receive.
Continue taking deep,
Nourishing breaths in this open channel system you have created.
Your channels are open.
They are ready to receive.
We are grounding our energy.
We are giving anything we no longer need to the earth.
We are opening our channels,
Our creative channels to receive.
And the universe is pouring energy,
Creativity,
Confidence in through the top of your head,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
All the way down to your feet.
This is our last song this morning.
I'm going to sit back and leave a little space for you to perhaps find your intention for today.
Is there a way in which you want to feel?
Be simple.
It could be a single word,
Open,
Joyful,
Creative.
No need to overthink it.
Stay open and just listen.
Listen to the message inside your heart.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
You made it to the end of our meditation.
For that,
I am so grateful.
For those joining live at the Writers Club,
I'm going to share a writing exercise,
An optional writing exercise,
And put 66 minutes on the clock and allow us to dive deep into our writing today,
Into our storytelling today,
Into our hearts today.
If you were catching us on a replay,
You can do the same.
You could put some time on your clock and see what's here and ready to be expressed through you.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius,
And I will see you next time.
