Good morning and welcome to the artist's morning.
My name is Darius and this is a 20 minute guided meditation intended to help you feel more grounded,
Confident and clear.
If your eyes are open,
I'd invite you to close them now.
Seeing if you can get just a little bit more comfortable,
A little bit more at ease in your seat in this moment.
No need to try too hard.
One percent more comfortable,
One percent more grounded is great.
Just beginning to feel your body this morning.
To feel your emotions,
Your inner world.
What's here with you now?
Slowly beginning to deepen your breath,
Deepening your state of relaxation.
Nice juicy inhales.
Long comforting exhales.
This is your time this morning.
Time for you to give you what you need.
Bringing softness,
Warmth and compassion to your body now.
Gently softening.
Softening.
Softening.
Dropping your shoulders.
Just letting any tension from the previous night melt away.
Softening the muscles in your forehead,
Your jaw,
Even softening your eyes and your mouth.
Any thoughts that try to pull you out of this sense of calm.
Don't fight them.
Just watch and observe them.
If you like,
Use the mantra thinking,
Thinking,
Thinking.
Breathing.
Breathing.
Breathing.
Nice deep breath.
Great job artists.
Now when we think of the concept of infinity,
Perhaps you believe in the infinite.
Perhaps you don't.
Either way,
With today's meditation,
We're going to explore,
Explore the depths of the infinite.
Infinity isn't just a really big space.
It's everything and always and forever.
That means there is a version of you in the infinite that has the utmost confidence,
Grounding and clarity.
And with today's meditation,
We're going to get a little closer to that version of you.
Understanding a version of yourself that feels fully grounded and supported always.
Breathing that in.
Fully grounded.
What would that be like?
Feel it in your body now.
Grounded.
Grounded.
Perhaps introducing a smile on your face.
Do you like the feeling of being supported and grounding your energy into the earth?
And don't think too much.
Remember this is a game.
This is play.
There isn't anything serious happening here.
We are just test driving a different version of you.
Grounded,
Grounded,
Grounded.
Feeling a version of you that can tap in your power into the earth at any moment.
Feeling the full support of the universe around you always.
In a nice deep breath.
Softening.
Opening.
Playing here,
Artist.
Now let's play some more.
Let's imagine in the infinite cosmos there is a version of you.
A version that is walking around feeling fully empowered.
Take a deep breath and borrow the power of that version.
Breathe their power into you now.
Expanding your chest.
Straightening your spine.
Understanding what it's like to be in a state of pure confidence and knowing.
Confidence.
Confidence.
Can you see and feel that version of you that is both grounded and confident?
I don't care if it's a million light years away or if you can only feel 0.
001% of that version of you.
Whatever it is,
Soak it in.
I don't care if it's a million light years away or if you can only feel 0.
001% of that version of you.
Bravo dear artist.
Grounded.
Confident.
And now let's tap into the clarity that exists in this version of you.
A clarity that is not distracted by the expectations of others.
A clarity that comes from not wasting any energy in this silly pursuit of perfection.
This version of you knows there's no such thing.
This version of you is here to express,
To create,
To be present,
And to be fully you.
This version of you knows you are here as a miracle.
This life is a miracle.
You are a miracle.
This version of you has his or her heart fully open,
Their mind fully curious.
And for these last few minutes of this meditation,
I'm going to let you in this version of you get closer.
I'll stay quiet as you guys connect.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
Wherever you went,
However far or deep you explored,
That's what you needed to do in this moment,
In this morning.
Even if it was 0.
0001% that you were able to connect with that version of yourself,
That tiny particle is a seed that you have planted in your heart that can grow.
I want you to take two deep breaths,
Breathing this new creative energy,
This new gratitude energy deep into your belly and heart now.
One more deep breath.
And when you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Give yourself a little stretch as we get ready to begin the writing component of the artist's morning.
For those of you that are meditating live at artist's morning,
I'll put 15 minutes on the clock as we express and use our pen and paper as our canvas this morning.
And for those of you that are catching the replay,
I invite you to do the same,
Put 15 minutes on the clock and do some journaling.
Thanks again,
Artists.
I'm Darius.
We'll see you next time.
