Good morning and welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name is Darius and today's practice will be on the theme of clearing and cleansing our energy so that we can align our mind,
Body,
And heart and allow the support,
The love,
The guidance that is available to us by the universe,
By the divine,
By our angels and guides to pour into us in the most easeful,
Most soothing,
Most nurturing way possible.
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,
Really just taking our time,
Allowing your body to ease in,
Finding a nice comfortable position,
Your body to land in your seat in this new day,
In this new moment.
Taking a nice deep breath here,
Breathing in,
Holding at the top and letting it all go,
Falling into a soothing,
Hypnotic flow of your breath as you breathe in and out,
In and out.
We're gonna start our practice today with a very simple and gentle clearing and cleansing.
If you are open to it,
Place both your hands in front of you and gently rub them against each other,
Creating a little bit of heat,
Activating our hands,
Creating energy and all you're gonna do is gently place them on your face and we're just gonna brush,
Brush off any energy on our face,
On the top of our heads,
Down our neck,
Imagining,
You know,
You got some dust on you and you're just brushing it off.
This is energetic dust,
Old dust,
Old energy and we're gonna brush down our chest,
Down our arms,
Down our torso in a really gentle,
Soothing manner.
What we're doing here is we are cleansing and clearing old energy,
Cleansing and clearing energy that is perhaps not ours,
Brushing around your neck,
Cleansing and clearing your voice,
Around your mouth,
Around your eyes,
Any weight on your shoulders,
We're gonna brush it off,
Brush it off,
Brush it off down our legs,
Letting it fall effortlessly onto the ground,
Knowing that the earth will absorb it,
Transmute it and make that old energy into something new.
One more deep breath here,
Breathing in,
Feeling lighter,
Feeling clearer,
Maybe you brushed off a lot of old,
Stagnant,
Dense energy,
Maybe you brushed off just a tiny bit,
Even if it was one percent,
You are one percent lighter,
Clearer,
More open and receptive to receive.
What I'd like to do now is guide us through a simple celebration,
Support and love of our mind,
Body and heart,
Beginning with our mind,
Beginning with some gratitude for that beautiful mind of yours,
That multifaceted mind of yours.
Thank you mind,
Thank you to all parts of my mind,
The parts that are loud,
The parts that are quiet,
Courageous parts,
Shy parts,
Young parts,
Old parts,
All parts of my mind are welcome here,
Even the critical parts,
Even the resistant parts,
All parts of my mind are welcome here,
I have love for my entire mind,
Together we are infinite,
Taking a moment to feel the energy of love and gratitude for our minds,
Everything they support us with,
Thank you beautiful mind,
I love you,
And now we work our way into our bodies,
These incredible beings,
They are with us from the beginning to the end,
They are our access to this human experience,
Sharing some gratitude for our bodies,
Thank you beautiful body,
Thank you for your strength,
Thank you for your flexibility,
Thank you for allowing me to travel through this planet,
Thank you for all the hugs,
Thank you for all the food I get to experience through your mouth,
Through your digestive system,
Feeling the energy of gratitude and love buzzing through your body,
Your skin,
Your bone,
Your organs,
Your blood,
Your cells,
Your breath,
Your mouth,
Your fingertips,
Your toes,
Your ankles,
The list goes on and on and on because these bodies are incredible,
No matter what shape,
What color,
What size,
How old,
How young,
They are a blessing,
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you beautiful body,
I love you,
This new day,
This new month,
This new year,
I choose to celebrate you,
To support you,
To nurture you with good food,
To take you on beautiful walks,
To give you rest,
To touch you,
To move you,
Love you,
Taking a moment to feel the energy of love and support,
Maybe it's easy for you to feel this energy,
Almost like a whisper,
Almost like goosebumps building through your body,
And maybe it's really hard for you to connect with it,
Continue breathing,
Opening our lungs,
Opening our heart space,
And when we gently quiet the mind and open our hearts,
We begin to feel the whispers of the universe,
Our angels,
Our guides,
Our ancestors,
Beings of light and love are here,
They are around us,
They are inside us,
They flow through our breath,
Taking a moment now to connect with our heart,
If you're open to it,
Place one or two hands on your heart,
There is a frequency inside your heart that is uniquely yours,
There is a song inside your heart that is uniquely yours,
Can you feel it,
Can you hear it,
Thank you beautiful heart,
Thank you for how much you care,
Thank you for how big you love,
Thank you for always being here for me,
Thank you for holding my hand,
Thank you for believing in me when I couldn't,
I know now that you hold my hand with one hand and you hold God's hand with the other and that together we are infinite,
That together everything is possible,
This day I choose to support and care and nurture my heart,
Today I choose to believe in my goodness and my kindness,
Today I choose to walk into the world with my feet on the ground,
With my chin held up and my heart wide open,
Today my mind,
My body,
My heart will work together,
We will stay together,
We will support each other,
This is our last song dear artists,
I'm going to stay quiet and allow you to explore,
To express,
To connect with your mind,
Body and heart,
Let's take a nice deep breath and bring our meditation to an end,
Breathing in and slowly letting it go,
Bravo dear artist,
Bravo dear creator,
I'm so grateful we got to the end of another meditation together,
No matter how open or resistant you were,
You did it,
You finished this meditation and that is a celebration,
For those joining us live at the artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock,
Share a journaling prompt with you and invite us to do some private personal journaling,
Of course if you're catching us on insight timer you can do the same,
Find your journal,
Put some time on a clock and see what's here and ready to be expressed through you,
Thank you once again for meditating with me,
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
