Hello and welcome to The Artist Morning's Writer's Club.
My name is Darius,
And I am so grateful that you and I 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 begin to go inwards together.
Let's go nice and slow here.
Starting to take longer,
Deeper breaths,
Signaling to our mind and body that we are safe here.
We.
Are important here,
We matter.
By carving out a little bit of time for yourself.
You are letting the universe know you matter.
Your creativity matters.
Your stories,
Your wisdom,
Your excitement,
Your passion,
Your feelings matter.
So let's take a few deep,
Intentional breaths in,
Breathing in.
Big exhale out.
Our theme today is joy.
And to be more specific.
.
.
It's connecting to the joy of writing.
Are very sophisticated,
Very adult brains.
Sometimes,
Forget.
What an incredible blessing it is to be able to write.
To be able to share words,
Share stories.
To have time to go inwards and reflect.
And then to take those words and stories and to share them with others.
As I say that,
I feel goosebumps throughout my body.
I'm gonna breathe those goosebumps in and throughout my body,
Being in the energy of joy.
Wow,
Such a blessing.
To be a writer.
Maybe you can hear my smile.
I have a big,
Giant smile on my face.
What an incredible joy and blessing.
To be a writer.
Let's take a deep breath here together as we.
.
.
Amplify the frequency of joy.
Breathing in.
.
.
Big exhale out.
If you are here,
If you are listening to this message,
It's because there is something inside you that is excited about writing.
Tap into the energy.
The process.
The delicious drinks you might have with your writing process,
The space you carve out.
Even the challenges,
Even the uncertainty.
Personally,
I love all of it.
So fulfilling.
Whatever it is for you.
That elevates your emotional state,
Whatever it is for you that gives you access to joy around your writing.
Just take a minute to tap into it.
And maybe like me,
You've liked writing.
You've loved writing for years,
For decades.
Younger Darius loved to journal.
Tap into the energy of all versions of you that loved writing.
Continue taking deep breaths.
Continue breathing into your heart,
Opening your channels,
Opening the love and joy you have for this incredible craft.
Wow.
Wow wow wow.
How blessed are we?
How fortunate are we?
That we are writers.
End.
Let's take a deep breath to bring our practice to an end.
Breathing in.
.
.
Big exhale out.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear writer.
You made it to the end of this meditation.
And hopefully you were able to tap in to the energy of joy and love for writing.
You were able to remember how incredibly blessed we are that we get to tell stories.
For those that are joining live at the Writers Club,
I'm going to share a writing exercise on our theme today and open up 66 minutes of writing time for us to take on that blank canvas and for us to find those words and those stories that we want to share this week.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius.
And I will see you next time.
