Transcript

Good morning,

And welcome to The Artist's Morning.

My name's Darius,

And I'm so grateful that you and I get this time together.

Our meditation practice today will be on the theme of self-trust,

Self-belief,

And I will be sharing some affirmations with you,

All of them with the intention of supporting ourselves,

Of believing in ourselves,

Of gently reminding ourselves that,

You know,

Sometimes it feels like life is happening to us,

But really it's happening for us,

All of it,

The fun stuff,

The difficult stuff,

The chaotic stuff,

If we really pay attention,

All of it is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves,

To experience deeper this beautiful thing we call human,

And for our souls to grow.

Let's begin our practice.

If your eyes are open,

I'd like to invite you to gently close them now as we begin to go inwards together,

Starting to take deeper breaths,

Bringing our intention inwards,

Towards our heart space,

We're going to start nice and slow and just give you an opportunity to land,

To arrive,

And before we move into the affirmations,

Let's take a nice deep breath here together,

Breathing in,

Holding at the top,

And letting it all go.

And with your permission,

I will share the affirmations now.

Every day,

I am learning to trust and believe in myself more and more.

I am talented,

I am resourceful,

And I am resilient.

My ideas and my voice matter.

No matter what happens today,

I will unconditionally love myself.

No matter what happens today,

I will unconditionally love myself.

I am allowed to ask for help.

I am allowed to ask for support.

I am allowed to be excited and joyful.

I am even allowed to be nervous and unsure.

All of it is a part of this beautiful experience we call human.

All of my feelings matter.

And just take a moment to let those first affirmations land.

You'll feel energy towards some,

And some you might want to just let float away.

Let's take another deep breath as I go in for some more affirmations.

Breathing in,

And gently letting it go.

Maybe you can access a little bit of pleasure,

A little bit of joy,

A little bit of calm energy here.

Even 1% more is progress.

I trust in the universe.

I trust in myself.

And I trust in my heart.

I trust in the universe.

I trust myself,

And I trust in my heart.

No matter what happens today,

I will unconditionally love myself.

I am not afraid of conflict,

Because I know each experience gives me an opportunity to practice my boundaries and grow.

I am not afraid of conflict,

Because I know each experience gives me an opportunity to practice my boundaries and grow.

With one deep breath and a moment of stillness,

I can access calm,

Grounded energy anywhere.

With one deep breath and a moment of stillness,

I can access calm,

Grounded energy anywhere.

And taking a moment to notice if anything feels different in your body.

Maybe it's subtle,

Maybe it's loud.

We are energetically,

We are intellectually,

We are emotionally,

We are spiritually shifting things.

We are building momentum.

There's positive energy building from inside you.

No matter what happens today,

I will unconditionally love myself.

How does that feel in your body?

Now all of us are different.

And sometimes I hear an affirmation and I just soak it all in.

And other times I hear a beautiful,

Well intentioned affirmation and my guard comes up and I become resistant.

My invitation to you is no matter what's coming up,

Just allow it.

Even if you have deep resistance to some or all of the affirmation,

Just allow it.

Imagine a world where your resistance is loved unconditionally.

Imagine a world where your critical thoughts,

Your insecurities,

Your shyness is loved unconditionally.

Who gets to decide if this world is real?

Is it anyone outside of you?

No,

We can't control outside of us.

It's a waste of energy.

But if you're looking to be unconditionally loved,

You,

Dear artist,

Have the power to make that happen.

This is our last song together this morning.

I'm going to stay quiet for most of the song.

But before I do,

One reminder.

Today is a fresh canvas.

No matter who you are,

Where you are,

How old you are,

How tall,

Short,

Big,

Small.

Today,

Each and every one of us has an opportunity to make something beautiful with our lives.

Some point today,

Maybe right now,

Take a moment to place your hands on your heart and listen.

Listen and hear if there's something your heart wants to tell you.

Is there a longing in your heart that is ready to be expressed?

Bravo,

Dear artist.

Bravo,

Dear creator.

You made it to the end of this meditation,

And for that,

I am so grateful.

It means the world to me to be able to make these.

And it still,

To this day,

Blows my mind that there are people who receive these meditations and are impacted by it.

And I share that as a reminder for you and for me that all of our expressions,

All of our creations,

At some point,

Start with us trusting and believing in ourselves,

In the universe,

And in our hearts.

I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock for those of us that are joining live at The Artist Morning,

And I'll share a journaling prompt for us.

And of course,

If you're catching us on a replay,

Perhaps on Insight Timer,

Shout out to our Insight Timer family.

I love you guys so much.

You can do the same.

Put some time on your own clock and 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.

I so needed to hear this and sit with it today, as I move towards something I have envisaged for quite some time, but am scared to realize. 🙏🩵

A nice affirmation meditation with distinct combination of content types, all wrapped up with your warm voice. Bravo! ❤️
I would remove the last part (minute 16:15 onward), just because it might be a bit distracting if I want to continue my meditation for few more minutes in silence.

Thanks so much for these wonderful affirmations, Darius. 🙏 As ever, exactly what I needed.

Truly being who I am is a lifelong struggle for me. My gifts and offerings are not encouraged or received by our competitive society and success as it is defined. In this meditation I am able to grow in trust that who I am and the differences I have are valuable. Darius reminds me to be kind to my heart, and that the love I need is already within me. Trust yourselves, friends :)

I am consistently touched, inspired and encouraged by Darius’ meditations.
