Good morning and welcome to the artist morning.
My name is Darius and I am so grateful that you and I get this time together.
Today's meditation practice will be on the theme of creating an energy,
A bubble of trust,
Tapping in to that experience when we can start to see and feel that everything is coming together.
It's that moment when we realize life isn't happening to us,
It's happening for us.
Life isn't happening to us,
It's happening for us,
For our highest good.
Take a nice deep breath here,
And letting it go with some noise.
Allowing a gentle softness to fall upon you now,
Softening your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your jaw.
Dropping your shoulders,
Allowing the softness to work its way down your back,
Your arms,
Down your torso.
Using your breath,
Deep breaths,
To soften any places in your body that are holding,
That are bracing.
We use the breath to lovingly,
Gently,
Compassionately soften.
Allowing the softness to work its way down your hips,
Your thighs,
Knees,
Shins,
All the way down to your ankles,
Your toes,
The bottoms of your feet,
Tops of your feet.
Do your best to continue breathing intentionally,
Imagining new energy coming into your body with your inhales.
And with your exhales,
Anything that's old and stagnant is gently being offered back to the earth,
To the air.
And if you pay attention closely,
There is pleasure here.
Might be subtle.
There is ease and comfort here.
Even if you can feel it 1% more,
That's a win.
Now,
All of us are on our own journeys,
Our own timelines.
And sometimes we are going through more intense moments in our lives.
There's a lot of chaos and heaviness.
And sometimes we're on the other side of that,
And there's a lot of peace and joy.
It's just like a storm.
At some point,
All of us will experience a storm.
We are not the storm.
And so when you're in the middle of the storm,
It can be extra hard to remember.
To remember that it's always happening for us.
And so today's practice is a gentle reminder that no matter where you are in relation to the storm,
All of it is happening for us.
Can you zoom out and remember?
We are always supported.
We are always guided.
Everywhere we go,
The universe,
The great creator,
God is there.
With open arms,
All of it is happening for us.
With open arms,
All of it is happening in service to our highest self.
And if you are in the middle of a particularly intense storm,
You might hear this and feel anger,
Resistance.
That's okay.
Even with your anger and resistance and doubt,
All of it is happening in service of your highest self.
Even if you deny it,
Even if you push it away,
There is always love and support here.
You are always loved and supported.
It's a powerful place to be when we are willing to open our hearts and receive.
It's a vulnerable place to be when we are willing to open our hearts and receive.
If today you do not feel open,
I want to say that's okay.
I've been there too.
You can always come back to this meditation.
I'll always be here.
And if you are feeling open and willing to receive,
Now is your moment.
Taking a deep breath.
Opening our hearts,
Opening our lungs,
Opening our heart space.
Making our spines a little taller.
Allowing a gentle smile to fall upon your heart right now.
Smiling with our hearts.
Dear universe,
We are here.
We are willing.
We are open to receive your bounty.
I'm going to stay quiet for the rest of this meditation.
I'm going to stay quiet for the rest of this meditation.
I'm going to stay quiet for the rest of this meditation.
I'm going to stay quiet for the rest of this meditation.
I'm going to stay quiet for the rest of this meditation.
I'm going to stay quiet for the rest of the song and allow you to receive.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
You made it to the end of our meditation today and for that I am so grateful.
Let's take one last deep breath here together to bring our meditation to an end.
Breathing in and letting it go.
For those that are joining live at the artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on our clock and invite us into some private personal journaling.
I will share an optional journaling prompt as well.
And of course,
If you're joining us on a replay,
Perhaps on insight timer,
You can do the same.
Put 20 minutes on your 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.
