Good morning and welcome to the artist morning.
My name is Darius and I'm so grateful you and I get this time together.
Let's begin our practice.
Your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to gently close them now as we begin to go inwards together,
Connecting with yourself,
With your feelings,
With your heart in this moment.
Let's take a few deep breaths here together,
Breathing in,
Holding at the top and letting it go with some noise.
Our practice today is for days when you would like to build a little bit of confidence,
To create a sense of trust and belief in yourself,
In the world around you,
In the universe everywhere.
I'm going to share some affirmations and you get to decide how far,
How deep you'd like to seed these affirmations.
You can repeat the affirmations or just take them in.
The most important thing I can share about affirmations is they work best when we feel.
They're not just empty words,
But taking a moment to feel the energy of the words,
Of the concepts makes a world of difference.
Let's take another deep breath here before I start the affirmations,
Breathing in,
Holding at the top,
Taking two more sips of breath here and letting go with the noise.
I am strong.
Breathing that affirmation in,
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
It takes a lot of courage to live our lives with an open heart.
I'm going to continue the affirmations now and we're going to just keep building on top.
And it might be helpful to take a nice deep breath after each affirmation and just like really breathe it in and feel what strong,
What brave,
What honest,
What open could feel like embody it.
Another deep breath before I start the affirmations again,
Breathing in,
Getting bigger,
Taking up more space,
Nice tall spine and letting it go.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
I trust and believe in myself.
I trust and believe in the wisdom of my body.
I trust and believe in the love and guidance of the universe.
Everything is happening as an opportunity for my soul to expand and grow.
Everything is happening as an opportunity for my soul to expand and grow.
All I need is within me now.
All I need is within me now.
Bravo to your artist.
I'm going to double down on those affirmations.
We're going to go in for another round.
You get to decide how open you feel to them,
How deep you want to see them inside you.
You can repeat them.
You can just take them in.
You can let them float away.
Let's take a nice deep breath in and let it go.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
I trust and believe in myself.
I trust and believe in the wisdom of my body.
I trust and believe in the love and guidance of the universe.
I know everything is happening as an opportunity for my soul to expand and grow.
I know everything is happening as an opportunity for my soul to expand and grow.
Take a moment to feel the energy of trust,
To feel the energy of expansion and growth.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
I am strong.
I am brave.
I am honest and I am open.
We have one last song this morning and I'm going to stay quiet and let you and your strong,
Brave,
Honest,
And open heart really connect.
To bring our session to an end,
Let's take one more deep breath in together,
Breathing in and letting it go with some noise.
Thank you so much for meditating with me.
For those that are joining us live at the artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share a journaling prompt and invite us all to do some private personal journaling.
Of course,
If you're catching us on a replay,
Maybe on insight timer,
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.
