Hello beautiful human.
My name is Darius and this is a very special practice that I'd like to share with you.
This is a part of my own personal daily practice.
I call it the artist's prayer and I use it every day sometimes several times a day to help ground my energy,
To help open my heart,
And to remind me especially on days when I want to share my gifts,
When I want to share my voice,
When I want to share my ideas and my creations with the world.
This simple practice reminds me that I don't need to get it perfect.
I don't need to be fully ready.
I don't need to get it quote-unquote right because there's no such thing as perfect ready or right.
This simple prayer helps me remember that my soul chose to come to this planet at this time in this human body specifically for me to express myself.
It helps me get out of my own way,
Out of my own head,
And come back to service,
To love,
To my fullest self-expression.
Let's take a deep breath here together.
Breathing in and letting it go and with your permission I'd like to share the artist's prayer now.
Dear God,
Please use me as a vessel for your divine expression.
Use me as an instrument of your love.
Give me the courage to go into the depths of my heart and find my truth and the courage to speak my truth in my own authentic voice.
Whatever happens from there I let go and let God take a moment to feel what it could be like to be an instrument of love.
Feel what it could be like to be a vessel for divine expression.
I'm going to share the prayer one more time here.
Dear God,
Please use me as a vessel for your divine expression.
Use me as an instrument of your love.
Give me the courage to go into the depths of my heart and find my truth and the courage to speak my truth in my own authentic voice.
Whatever happens from there I let go and let God.
The most important thing creators can do and by the way we are all creators,
All of us every day have an opportunity to create something with our lives.
The most important thing creators can do is to open their hearts and allow divine expression to come through them.
We are a conduit,
We are a channel and once that expression has come through us we do the best we can to share it with the world and our own authentic voice.
Then we get to bless and release it.
Bless and release it.
Bless and release it.
We don't need to hold on.
There's no such thing as getting it perfect.
It's a myth.
We do the best we can with what we have.
Then we bless and release it and open our hands so that God can come back tomorrow and place something new in the palms of our hands.
Thank you for meditating with me.
Thank you for taking that beautiful,
Bold,
Creative risk to share your heart with the world.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
