Hello and welcome to the Artist Morning Writers Club.
My name is Darius,
And I'm so grateful we get this time together.
Let's begin our practice.
If your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to close them now.
As we go inwards together,
Nice and slow.
Moving our energy from the top of our head,
The head space,
The thinking space,
The mind space,
Moving it intentionally down,
Down,
Down,
Down our body into our heart space,
Our center.
It's really simple how we do that.
We begin to take deeper,
Longer breaths,
And we follow the breath down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down,
Down into our hearts,
Energizing our hearts,
Waking our hearts up,
Lovingly reminding our hearts they can take up space here.
Your heart is safe here.
With your inhales,
I want you to feel the space around your heart growing in every dimension,
In every direction.
Your heart is safe here.
Your heart is allowed to take up space here.
And if you notice you're thinking a lot,
That just means you're still in the top of your head.
And so we soften,
Softening our foreheads,
Softening our jaws,
Softening our necks and shoulders with ease,
With calm,
With joy,
With pleasure,
Just softening.
What's it like to try on a little smile?
Does that change anything?
Continuing to take longer,
Deeper breaths,
Bringing the energy and resonance of a smile down to your heart,
Imagining your heart smiling and really giving yourself an opportunity to land here.
Take a nice deep breath in together,
Breathing in.
New,
Fresh,
Creative energy in,
Big exhale out,
Letting go of old,
Stagnant,
Unwanted energy with your exhale.
Continue breathing deeply.
We are here now.
Whatever was,
Whatever yesterday,
Whatever last week,
Whatever last month had for you,
It's complete.
Thank you to yesterday.
Thank you to last week.
Thank you to last month.
We bless and release.
You had a great month.
We bless and release.
If it was an incredibly difficult month,
We bless and release.
There is a fresh,
New canvas in front of you,
Here and now.
Take a moment to be with this fresh page,
This new opportunity to begin again.
Dear heart,
Is there a story you are ready to share today?
Dear creative spirit,
Is there something you want me to know?
Dear universe,
I am here,
Ready to receive.
This is our last song.
I'm going to stay quiet and allow you,
Your heart,
Your creative spirit,
Your guidance,
Begin to imagine what could be possible on this fresh,
New canvas.
Today is a fresh,
New canvas.
Today is a gift not everyone will get.
Whatever happened yesterday,
Whatever happened last week,
Whatever happened last month,
We bless and release so that we can bring our fullest presence into this new day,
New canvas,
New gift.
Thank you for meditating with me.
Take a nice deep breath to close our practice.
Breathing in,
Big exhale out.
Breathing in,
Big exhale out.
Of course,
For those of you that are joining live at the Writers Club,
I'm going to share a writing prompt and exercise on our theme and put 66 minutes on the clock and allow us to dive into our writing today.
If you're catching us on a replay,
You can do the same.
See what's here and ready to be expressed through you.
Thank you once again.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
