Transcript

Good morning and welcome to the artist morning.

My name is Darius and today's meditation practice is specifically for those of us who spend a lot of time giving,

Caring,

Looking after others.

Maybe you are a parent,

Maybe you are a partner,

Maybe you have a business or a project or a passion,

Maybe you're just a generous human who cares for everything.

If nobody has told you in a while that they are grateful for you and your giant heart,

I'd like to do so now.

Thank you for caring so much.

Thank you for all that you do.

If you are open to it,

For this meditation,

You can put all that on pause so that we can care for you.

I promise you can go back to caring for everybody else after this meditation.

But for now,

Let's take a deep breath together and begin our self-care,

Self-love practice.

Breathing in and letting it all go.

Your eyes are open.

Let's close them now.

You're going to slowly come closer to our own hearts,

To our own energy.

I imagine for some of you the idea of temporarily stopping the care,

The responsibility you have for these other people,

These other projects in your life might be met with resistance.

If you're a parent,

You are so used to caring for others.

I love you in your giant heart.

I love you in your giant heart.

And if you're open to it,

Open to it,

Let's spend a few minutes bringing all the attention on you,

Just you.

Let's take a deep breath together.

Hold at the top and slowly let it all go.

Come in closer to your heart,

Even if it's one centimeter,

One inch,

It's progress.

A gentle calm to work its way through your body.

It's subtle,

But it's effective.

This calming energy spreading to the edges of your body from the top of your head,

The bottom of your feet,

Edges of your fingertips on each side,

Gently calming,

Relaxing,

Soothing you.

Whatever it is,

Whatever it is that you are caring for,

That you are looking after,

I want you to know they are still here.

And I want you to imagine them in a golden light,

Laughing,

Thriving.

And I want you to know you can come back to them later.

They are okay.

This moment,

I want you to go deeper into your heart,

Deeper into your heart,

Deeper into your beautiful giant heart.

There.

Did you see that?

Look again inside your heart.

Did you feel that?

There is a beautiful sun,

Giant light source inside your heart with infinite warmth.

Maybe it's a little speck.

Maybe it's larger for you,

But it's there.

Going to invite this warm golden sun from inside you to spread,

To recharge,

Regenerate,

To charge your batteries.

We're going to amplify it by imagining there is a golden ray of light from above your head,

And it's falling down onto your head,

Your crown.

It's working its way down and it hits this other light source inside your heart and it amplifies.

Your entire body is feeling the warmth,

Regeneration from these two light sources.

Even if you are fully resistant,

Your batteries are being charged.

Even if you can't feel the warmth,

Your batteries are being charged here,

Just like a cell phone being charged.

Sometimes there is no sound,

There are no visuals.

That phone can resist all at once.

That power source is giving it energy.

The universe is giving you energy here,

Healing,

Regenerating energy.

We have one song left this morning.

I'm going to stay mostly quiet for this song and allow any part of you that is in need of some love,

In need of some recharging,

Regenerating.

If you're open,

The universe is here.

Your heart is here to give you exactly that.

Well done,

Dear artist.

Let's take a breath together to bring our meditation to an end.

Breathing in and gently letting it all go.

For those of us joining live at the artist morning,

I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and give us some space and time to do some private personal journaling.

If you're catching us on a replay,

Perhaps on insight timer,

Of course,

You can do the same.

Thank you so much for meditating with me and thank you so much for your big gigantic heart.

I know there's many things you do and many ways in which you care that maybe nobody gives you credit for.

So thank you.

My name is Darius and I'll see you next time.

You really are an instrument of His Peace. Thank you Darius. Your a gift in my back pocket. Much LOVE to you my friend....♡♡♡♡♡

Perfect for me. Thank you Darius. It felt like it was tailor made for me but there are so many people out there doing the caring work. Sometimes it feels thankless and lonely but not today. 🙏🏼💛🙂

Ahh, that was beautiful! Thank you for your gigantic heart, and for acknowledging mine. 🤗 Your words allowed me to appreciate and care for myself today. My kids are away at their dad’s this week, so your timing was perfect. Many thanks! 💜

So so beautiful. Thank you, this really resonated with me. Sending love to all the other gigantic hearted people who struggle sometimes and maybe lose themselves in the process of caring too much. Thanks so much for a wonderful meditation 💫

Another excellent meditation 🧘‍♀️ thank you !
Love the unique music 🎶 do you create these soundtracks?

I always feel so much better after your meditations. Thank you🙏🏻

Thank you was uplifting and beautiful. I feel ready and recharged. Much needed. Thank you for your gift. 🙏🏻💕

Freshly back from an amazing solo artful trip to Hawaii, my batteries were fully charged. But being back to parenting reality with my teenage son, single parent, we both caught a nasty cold and have been struggling throughout the week. This morning I woke up with a splitting headache. As soon as I started listening to the deep compassion in your voice, tears came out, my heart opened up and plugged right into the Source. Thank you for guiding me into receiving this morning Darius. I feel so much better.

I can’t thank you enough for this beautiful meditation. I have been caring for others for years, starting with my disabled younger brother. I learned about empathy and compassion and have carried that all these years into my adulthood with my profession and my relationships with others. I admit I get burned out and feel guilty when I’m unable to help when I have things I need to do in order to keep myself healthy too. I will be traveling to help with my brother once I heal from own health issues. I appreciate this beautiful practice and will return to it often. Blessings to you Darius!

Thank you so much brother. That was deep and healing. You created the space for me to shed some much needed tears. I thought, “This is a person l would like to be friends with.” Keep doing what you are doing. I appreciate it.

Many thanks Darius
I too, needed a thank you

Namaste✨🙌✨
