Good morning and welcome to the artist morning.
My name is Darius and I am so honored,
So privileged that we get this opportunity to meditate together this morning.
Wherever you are in the world,
It is my sincere belief that we are connected.
This meditation will be a journey where we go and connect with our inner child.
I believe that our inner children,
Those younger parts of us that always exist inside of us,
Are deeply connected to our inner creators,
To our inner artists.
So with that,
I invite you to find a nice comfortable seat.
Your eyes are open.
You can close them now.
As we begin to go inwards together,
Just feeling what's alive this morning for you.
Just taking a moment to really land here in this space,
In your seat,
In your body,
In the only thing that actually exists,
The now,
This very moment.
Taking a few deep breaths,
Allowing each inhale to refresh and renew your mind,
Your body,
And your soul.
Just really slowing everything down.
Letting your system know it's safe here.
You are supported here.
There's sincerely nothing you need to do,
Nothing you need to accomplish.
It's amazing how wise,
How mature,
How smart we can become as adults.
So productive,
So efficient,
So connected.
Just take a moment to share gratitude for this adult version of you,
This version that got you all the way to this moment.
Thank you.
Thank you beautiful,
Brilliant,
Hardworking human.
However old you are,
However many years you've lived,
This human has got you to this point.
Your human has got you here.
If you are open and willing,
I invite you just to place your hands on any part of your body gently,
Lovingly,
And just let that love and gratitude radiate into this human here with you now.
Maybe a little rub,
A little cuddle.
Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
Thank you.
And there are other versions of you that are here as well.
Younger versions,
Child versions.
Can you tap in to perhaps a five year old,
An eight year old,
A ten year old,
Just a younger version of you?
Can you feel them in your body?
Maybe they're shy,
And that's okay.
And maybe they're not,
That's also okay.
These beautiful,
Younger versions of us live always inside us.
For some of us,
We place a lot of energy on allowing them to feel safe and welcome.
And so they show up in our day to day lives.
For some of us,
We've lost connection to these beautiful,
Brilliant,
And infinitely creative younger selves.
This meditation,
This practice,
An opportunity for your wise adult self,
Your higher self,
Your mature self,
To step one inch closer to these beautiful beings.
One foot closer,
However close you'd like to come.
For those of us that are doing this meditation live at the artist morning,
Perhaps there is a face of another community member that you just saw on the zoom video.
Can you imagine them as a five year old?
Like any person,
Don't overthink it.
You can even start with me.
Can you see and feel the energy of five year old Darius?
And lightness,
Gentleness,
Joy,
To grow inside your heart now.
Does your inner child want to play with my inner child?
It's okay if your answer is no.
It's totally okay.
Are there any other inner childs here?
Again for those of you that were joining us live,
Just imagine some of the faces you just saw on the zoom video screen and start to play with the idea of a five year old version of them,
An eight year old version of them.
And please,
Whatever you do,
Don't take this too seriously.
We are playing here,
Dear artist.
Feel the energy of play.
Playing here.
The lightness.
The carefree energy that is here.
Allow that energy to soften you,
Soften the wise,
Serious,
Protective elements of our adult selves.
They're here.
They're just watching as the children play together.
We are safe here.
I want you to really feel that.
We are safe here.
Just breathe that in.
What's it like for your beautiful inner child to truly feel safe here?
Can you hear the children playing?
Can you hear their voices?
Can you see how adorable they are?
How light and free.
They have no concept of productivity,
Of social media,
Of money.
They are creating from such a sincere,
Joyful place.
They are following their bliss.
Before we go into our last song this morning,
Let's just take a couple of breaths here.
However far you went,
However you leaned in or did not lean into this meditation,
There is an energy that we have cultivated.
Just breathe that joyful,
Playful energy in now.
Taking one more deep breath.
Everything.
The energy grow inside of us.
Each one of us is different.
For some of you,
This movement of energy will be subtle.
For others,
It will be loud.
Individually,
We have begun to tap in to a divine energy inside of us.
These inner children are playing,
Yes.
They are light,
Yes.
But they are deeply connected to the divine.
They are closer to source.
They are closer to the cosmos,
To the infinite.
And by creating safety and security for them to show up,
To play,
To collaborate,
We are activating our inner creators too.
We are remembering that we have come here to this human experience to connect,
To collaborate,
To create.
Can you remember?
Can you remember what it's all about?
That indomitable,
Impenetrable inner child energy is alive inside you.
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Hear the children laughing.
See their outfits.
See their haircuts.
See them running around.
And if you're open to it from the seat of your soul,
From your higher self,
I invite you to transmit joy and love from your heart space to these beautiful children.
I'll stay quiet and let you feel,
Express,
Connect,
Or do whatever you'd like.
This is your space.
Are you too?
You You Bravo dear artist Bravo dear creator Wherever you went however far however deep whatever you felt or did not feel However much space you created for these beautiful inner children I honor and respect you you carved out some time for yourself this morning And for us as a cosmic collective community of kind Creators You might be experiencing this meditation in a room completely by yourself But I promise you you are not alone For those of you that are joining us on the live meditation I'm gonna put 15 minutes on the clock and invite you and us to do some private personal journaling If you're joining us in a replay you can do the same put some time on your clock and just sit and feel What's here and alive and real for you?
Thank you so much for meditating with me this morning.
My name is Darius,
And we will see you next time You
