Transcript

Good morning and welcome to the Artist's Morning.

My name is Darius and this is a 15 minute guided morning meditation intended to help you start your day feeling more confident and more courageous.

Let's begin our meditation by finding a nice comfortable seat this morning.

When your eyes are open,

I invite you to close them now as we begin to go inwards together.

Bringing your awareness to your breathing,

Noticing the rising and falling of your chest,

Allowing your hands to gently fall on your lap,

And slowly,

Simply rolling your shoulders back and allowing your heart to take up a little bit more space this morning.

Taking a nice deep breath now and on your exhale,

Just let it all go.

Accessing a little bit more ease and comfort now.

There's nothing you need to do to access it.

It's always here and available to you.

Allowing a gentle softness to fall upon your head,

Your eyes,

Your nose,

Your jaw.

Feel this softness work its way down your neck,

Your shoulders as it does.

Any tension,

Any stiffness,

Any resistance just melts away.

As this warm softness works its way down your back,

Your thighs,

Your knees,

Your shin,

Your feet.

If you are open to it,

It will hold you this morning.

It will allow you to rest.

It will allow you to refresh.

And in this rested,

Refreshed state,

It will allow you to access a different version of yourself.

There is a version of all of us that has tremendous confidence and courage.

There is a version of all of us that is ready to play,

To take up space,

To let their voice be heard.

With today's meditation,

We are going to spend time with this version.

We are going to observe.

We are going to breathe in their essence.

We are going to let their tremendous confidence and courage rub off on us.

Taking another deep breath here.

If you are open,

If you are willing,

Soften a little bit more and open your heart just a little bit more so that the time we spend with this extraordinarily confident and courageous version of yourself leaves an impact.

Taking another deep breath now.

I want you to imagine this version of you is standing in front of you.

This version of you looks exactly the way you look now.

It's clear that they are you and somehow there is something different about them.

You are just going to watch them,

You are just going to observe this confident,

Courageous version of you for a few minutes now.

See their face.

See their body.

It's you.

And what's important during this meditation and visualization is if you notice your energy is moving to your head,

That's because you are thinking a lot.

That's okay.

That's what creative minds do sometimes.

The invitation is to bring the energy to your heart space by breathing into your heart and remembering that there is nothing serious happening here.

This is a game we are playing together this morning.

Bringing the energy from your head into your heart space now.

I want you to imagine your heart smiling as you watch this version of you in front of you.

Bringing a beautiful,

Glorious smile from your heart space now.

And I want you to bring your attention to something in your life that you are working on a project.

Some sort of creation,

Some sort of self-expression project in your life now.

And I want you to imagine this version of you is working on that project.

The energy they are in is an energy of possibility.

An energy of play.

Somehow they are walking around,

They are embodying this energy that anything is possible.

If you are open to it,

Just watch them with curiosity,

With excitement and with awe.

There you are.

Light.

Hopeful.

Creatively expressed.

Breathe in the air in this space now.

Breathing in their courage.

Breathing in their confidence.

This version of you is always playing.

This version of you is a student of the process of life,

The process of creation,

And is not a slave to the outcome.

Some things work out immediately.

Some things don't always go as planned.

But this version of you always ends up ahead.

Because there are only two options for this version of you.

Win or grow.

We have one more song for our meditation this morning.

One more opportunity to spend time and soak in the optimism.

Soak in the confidence and courage of this version of you.

This version of you.

If you are open,

If you are willing,

Take a nice deep breath.

Smiling from your heart space and just soak in all the juicy goodness that exists by you spending some time with this incredibly confident,

Incredibly courageous version of yourself.

Take a couple deep breaths.

Making this version of you full of excitement,

Full of optimism.

Sending the emails that need to be sent.

Making the courageous calls that need to be made.

Hitting the launch button and on those projects,

Stepping onto those stages.

All of us have that courageous part in us.

For this last part of this last song,

I'm going to stay quiet and let you and that version of you connect and support each other.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Darius. This meditation broke me open. Grateful for you.

Really helpful during a dark period for me when I am shouldering a lot of responsibility.

Beautiful and very helpful exercise 🙏 I felt truly supported by your last words, congratulating us on the effort we made, formulated in such a way that I could really hear and accept it. Thank you so much ❤️

“Looking” at a version of myself that is confident and courageous was incredibly moving … thank you for this meditation 🙏

Dear Darius, I struggled this morning, seeing my future self as confident and courageous. My heart was heavy with constrict and tightness. As I sobbed heavily during the first 10 minutes of The Meditation, which made it difficult to see my future self, once I was able to bring a sense of calmness into my breath, I began the meditation again, breathing deeply, and slowly. I was able to see this version of myself standing in front of me, and there was a glimmer of a spark when I smiled from my heart ♥️. I spent time journaling and was able to gain some clarity. Thank you as always, dear artist, your guidance resonate deeply within me.

Wow, this one’s really amazing and energizing to me!
Thank you Darius, dear Artist!
