Good morning and welcome to the artist morning.
My name is Darius and I'm so grateful that you and I get this time together.
Wherever you are in the world,
Whenever you are in the world,
We are here together.
We've carved out some time for ourselves to start our day feeling connected to ourselves,
To our hearts,
To our bodies,
To our minds.
This meditation is being made on the first Friday of the new year and my intention with this meditation is to help us start this new year full of love,
Possibilities,
And positivity.
I will share many affirmations in this meditation.
You can repeat them to yourselves or you can just sit back and relax and let the energy,
The frequency of this meditation work its way through you,
Supporting you,
Nourishing you in any way that serves you.
Let's begin our meditation.
Let's find a nice comfortable seat and if your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to close them now as we go inwards together.
Let's take a moment to land in our bodies,
Connecting with your breath this morning.
Just noticing if it's shallow or deep.
Does it have a noise?
Is it quiet?
Are you breathing through your nose or your mouth or both?
No judgment,
No fixing.
Just notice where your breath is this morning and just for a moment if you're open to it,
I'd like to invite you to place your hands on your heart,
Nice and gentle,
And we're going to breathe into our heart.
Breathing in now,
Nice deep breath into your heart and let it go.
One more deep breath into your heart now,
Maybe giving your heart a little cuddle.
Just waking your heart up in the most gentle,
Loving way possible.
Good morning heart.
Hello beloved.
You can place your hands back down on your lap or if you want to leave them on your heart,
That's okay too.
Just notice how you feel.
Maybe that was an enjoyable exercise for you.
Maybe it wasn't.
That's okay too.
It's a reminder that you can't get this wrong.
You can't get this wrong.
All of you is invited to this practice,
All parts,
Even the resistant parts,
Even the introverted parts.
For this next portion of the meditation,
I'm going to share some affirmations.
Some will resonate more than others.
Don't overthink it.
Each is just a moment.
If you like it,
Breathe it in.
If you don't,
Let it flow away.
Let's take a deep breath here.
I am guided,
Am supported.
I am loved,
Guided.
I am supported.
I am loved.
This year I am committed to speaking my truth.
This year I choose to stand taller than I ever have.
This year I am so excited to move my body.
This year I choose to love my body.
This year I will experience an abundance of money and wealth.
I am so excited for the amazing people I will meet this year.
Let's take a moment to notice how you're feeling.
Maybe there's joy,
Maybe there's excitement,
Maybe there's resistance.
All of it is welcome here.
I will give you the prompt,
This year I will,
And then I will invite you to fill in the blanks.
Maybe there are words that follow,
Maybe there are feelings,
Maybe there are images,
Maybe for you it's silence.
You can't get this wrong.
Let's take a deep breath.
I am so excited because this year I will.
Well dear artist,
Again maybe that was easy for you and maybe that was so difficult to get through.
Always come back to this meditation.
Try again and play again.
Powerful to get into the right energy,
Into the right mind state.
Loves and rewards action.
Loves and rewards universe.
Loves and rewards honesty.
Loves and rewards you.
Resistant,
Believe in yourself.
Loves you.
Because you are worthy of love.
You create,
If no matter what you do,
You are always guided.
You are always supported.
You dear artist are always loved.
This is our last song coming up.
I'm going to stay mostly quiet and let you connect with your heart,
With your body,
With your mind,
With your angels,
With your ancestors,
With God,
With all of the above,
With none of the above.
You choose.
This is your life.
Remember there is nothing serious happening here.
There is nothing serious happening here.
We are playing.
Let's take a moment to land back in our seats here,
Back in our bodies.
Let's take a deep breath together to bring our meditation to an end.
Breathing in and letting it go.
Bravo dear artist.
We made it to the end of another meditation.
Can you hear the giant smile on my face?
It gives me so much joy to be able to meditate with you.
Whether you're joining on the live or listening on a replay on Insight Timer,
I feel connected to you.
I feel grateful for you.
For those that are joining on the live artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and allow us to do some private personal journaling as a community together.
If you're catching us on Insight Timer,
Of course you can do the same.
Get your journal out,
Get your pen out,
Put some time on the clock and just see what's here,
What's ready to express through you.
Thank you for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
