Good morning,
And welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name is Darius,
And I am so grateful that you and I get this time together.
Our practice today is intended to help you call in,
Cultivate,
Invite more love and abundance into your life.
Let's begin.
If your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to gently close them now.
Allowing ourselves to,
First and foremost,
Just arrive in our seats.
To connect with ourselves,
With our bodies,
With our breath.
Giving ourselves a moment to land here,
Now.
Here,
Now.
Beginning to take deeper breaths,
Pulling our energy that might be in the past,
That might be thinking about the future.
Pulling it into our center,
Bringing it back to us.
Bringing all of you,
All your parts,
All your energy,
Here,
Now.
If you'd like to deepen the experience,
All you need to do is take longer inhales,
With louder exhales,
And hold in between.
Hold the breath in between the inhale and the exhale.
Let's try it together.
Breathing in,
Holding.
Letting it go with some noise.
Do that two more times.
Breathing in,
And letting go with some noise.
Last time together,
Breathing in,
And letting it go.
Taking your own natural breath,
Allowing energy to come in and out,
In and out.
Our practice today is about opening ourselves,
Our hearts,
Our minds,
So that we can receive more love and abundance.
Maybe today you're not feeling very open,
And that's okay.
You're allowed to open,
Or not open,
To whichever degree feels accessible to you today.
You can always come back to this meditation.
Maybe today you feel ready,
You feel resourced to open,
To receive more love and abundance.
I want you to imagine the ocean and the waves of the ocean as they come in and out,
In and out.
There's a circular pattern.
We're going to gently open our channels and use our breath to keep the channel open,
In and out,
In and out,
Gently.
I like to imagine this circular motion in my breathing,
In my opening.
Energy is coming through me and releasing out of me.
There's no holding,
There's no resisting.
We're just letting it all flow.
Feeling a gentle softness to fall upon your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your jaw,
Just softening,
Softening,
Softening,
Softening your shoulders,
Dropping your shoulders,
Letting your neck tension just melt away,
Melt away,
Breaking all the way down your back.
This softening allows for a deeper opening.
I'm going to share some affirmations here.
You can just receive them,
You can repeat them,
You can let them go.
You choose.
Continue breathing,
Keeping those channels open.
I receive and accept love and abundance.
Breathe that in.
I receive and accept love and abundance.
All around me,
Everywhere I go,
Every experience,
There is love and abundance.
And I choose to open my heart to receive and accept love and abundance into my life.
And just take a moment to see if those words are true for you.
Right here,
Right now,
Are you willing to receive and accept love and abundance into your life?
If so,
Breathe it in.
If so,
Melt away resistance.
Open your heart and allow the love and abundance that is already here in.
Keep breathing.
I receive and accept love and abundance.
I invite it in.
I welcome all the love,
All the abundance,
All the support available to me.
Let's take another deep breath here.
That thing we are looking for,
That thing we are seeking is already here.
We don't need to chase it.
We don't need to hunt it down.
It's already here.
The work is to slow down,
Open our hearts,
And to allow it to bless our lives,
To receive it.
And again,
If today you are not feeling open and you don't want to receive,
That is okay.
I get it.
And if today you are feeling open and you do want to receive it,
That is also okay.
You choose.
And if you feel there is a hardness around your heart,
There is a wall,
There is a resistance,
You can find where it is and send love to it and allow that hardness to soften and open so that you,
Dear artist,
Can receive love and abundance.
Take a deep breath here,
Breathing in and letting it go.
I openly welcome love and abundance into my life.
I allow it in,
Into my life,
Into my heart,
And I allow it to bless my life in all sorts of ways.
I openly welcome love and abundance into my life.
I allow it into my heart,
And I allow it to bless my life in all sorts of incredible ways.
Sending here a beam of golden light from the sky falls onto you.
It's warm,
It's comforting,
It's full of sparkles and angels,
Thousands and thousands of tiny teeny angels that are coming through the top of your head all the way down to your toes and blessing your life.
If you're open to it,
Feel what that's like in your body now.
Thank you,
Angels.
Thank you,
Universe.
Thank you,
Divine creator.
You are always here.
You always have my back,
Even when I can't see it.
You are here with love and abundance.
If you feel open,
Take a deep breath and just receive that eternal support from the highest source available.
This is our last song today.
I'm going to stay quiet from here on and let you feel,
Explore and experience the love and abundance that's already here.
Bravo to your artist,
You made it to the end of our meditation today,
And I'm so grateful for that.
This time we get together means the world to me,
Whether we've known each other for years or this is your first meditation,
I can feel your energy,
I can feel our energy.
It's powerful,
It permeates and it ripples into all sorts of places,
Into our lives,
Our communities.
So thank you.
For those joining us live at the artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and allow us to do some private personal journaling.
I'm going to share a journaling prompt that's connected to our practice today and allow you to continue going deeper and continue that exploration.
And of course,
If you've caught us on a replay,
Perhaps on insight timer,
You can do the same.
Put some time on your own clock,
Get your journal out and see what's here.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
