Good morning and welcome to the Artist's Morning.
My name is Darius and I'm so excited you're here.
Wherever you are in the world,
Whenever you are in the world,
We are here together.
Today's meditation practice will be on the theme of love.
If you are open to it,
We are going to amplify the love in our lives.
And we are going to make ourselves magnets for more.
More love,
More kindness and care.
As with all my meditations,
They are invitations.
You get to decide how far,
How deep you'd like to go.
Every day is different.
Trust your instincts.
And remember,
There is nothing serious happening here.
We are playing.
Let's begin our meditation.
If your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to close them now.
As we begin to go inwards together.
Start to notice what's alive.
What's alive inside you this morning.
No need to judge or analyze.
Just notice and feel.
Bringing your attention to your breath.
This dedicated,
Committed breath of yours that has continually brought you new air,
New life.
Continually helped you let go and release old,
Old air,
Old energy.
Let's take a deep breath together now,
Breathing new life into your body,
Breathing in.
And letting it all go.
Noticing if your voice this morning is a little shy or a little alive.
An invitation for your voice to join us.
To hear your voice in the world is a blessing.
And if your voice feels shy,
It's okay.
How is your heart today?
How does your heart feel?
Is there something?
Your heart is longing for.
If you are open to it,
Let's do a little experiment here this morning.
Place one hand on your heart.
And I'm going to ask you the question again and see if it feels any different.
How is your heart this morning?
Is there anything your heart is longing for?
I want to give you a moment here with you and your heart.
If there's something your heart wants to share with you,
If you're open to it,
Just listen.
Is there a message your heart has for you this morning?
Is there anything you want to share with me?
And maybe there's a message you have to share with your heart this morning.
Is there something you'd like to say to your heart in private,
Just between you and your heart?
Bravo dear artist.
It takes courage to be in stillness and listen to our hearts sometimes.
It can be scary and it can be exhilarating.
My belief is they have infinite wisdom and infinite access to love.
What I'd like to do for this next part of our meditation is share some affirmations on the theme of love.
You are open to them,
Receive them.
If they do not resonate,
Just let them float away like clouds.
Trust your intuition and trust your heart.
Today,
I choose love.
Today,
I believe in love.
I believe I am worthy of a great love story.
I believe that love story does not require anybody else.
The love between myself and my heart is truly infinite.
Today I choose love.
Today I believe in love.
If you are open to it,
Allow the love that lives inside your heart to grow.
Imagine a beautiful warm golden light from the center of your heart.
Slowly but powerfully expanding through your whole body,
Your whole being.
Growing,
Growing even beyond your body.
Golden beacon attracting more love to itself.
And kindness and care.
Today I allow love to find me everywhere.
Today I am open to kindness and care.
Today I am a magnet to love everywhere.
Today I choose love.
Well done,
Dear artist.
Maybe that was easy for you,
Connecting to your heart and love.
Was a walk in the bark,
Maybe.
And there's a chance resistance showed up and that might have been difficult for you.
And that's okay too.
Like this last song in our meditation I'd like to invite you to begin again.
Let's take a deep breath.
Like this last song I'm going to mostly stay quiet.
If you're open to it I'd like to invite you to reflect and explore what your life would be like if you truly unconditionally loved yourself.
No matter what happened,
No matter what you did or did not do.
How could your life be different?
What could you possibly create?
You would show up in your life if no matter what you loved yourself truly unconditionally.
You believed in yourself more than anyone else could.
And you became your greatest ally and cheerleader.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
Wherever you went,
However far you traveled,
You made it to the end of the meditation and for this I am grateful.
As always with the artist morning for those of you that are joining us live I'm going to put some time on the clock and allow us to do some private personal journaling.
For those of you at home catching us on a replay I invite you to do the same,
Put some time on the clock and see what's here and ready to express through you.
Thank you for meditating with me,
My name's Darius and I'll see you next time.
