Hello and welcome to the Artist Mornings Writer's Club.
My name is Darius,
And I'm 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.
Taking longer,
Deeper breaths here.
Signaling to our system that We are going.
Deeper.
We are safe here.
We're safe to close our eyes.
We're safe.
To slow our breathing.
And for most of us,
Creators,
Artists,
Writers,
We spend a lot of time in our heads.
Curious Thinking.
Imagining.
And so let's intentionally move from the top of our body,
Our heads,
Into our heart space.
Follow the breath,
Follow the inhale from the tips of your lips,
Your nose,
Your nostril,
Your throat.
Your lungs all the way down,
Down,
Down,
Down into your heart space.
And it can be helpful to soften your forehead where all the thinking happens.
Soften your jaw where we often hold tension.
Soften your shoulders and allow your shoulders perhaps just to drop This allows the energy at the top of our bodies,
Our heads.
Gently work its way down,
Down,
Down our body.
I find it can be very helpful.
To make some noise with your exhale.
Does two things.
One.
.
.
It again signals to your body that you're allowed.
To take a load off here.
You're allowed to just let go of any tension.
Any thoughts,
Anything you no longer need to hold.
Let's do it together.
Breathing in.
Hold to the top of your breath.
Big exhale out with some noise.
And let's just sit here in this energy,
This perhaps softer.
Later.
.
.
Gentler.
Energy.
Bravo dear artist,
Bravo dear writer,
You made it through the first part of our meditation,
Where this next part,
With your permission,
I'm going to share some affirmations made specifically for writers.
Let's start nice and slow.
I am a writer.
I am a storyteller.
I am here to share my light and my gifts with the world.
I am allowed to have fun.
I'm allowed to make mistakes.
I am here to share my light and my gifts with the world.
I am done hiding.
I am done playing small.
I am here to share my light and my gifts with the world.
And just take a moment to see if there's an opening in your heart.
Do any of those affirmations resonate?
Is your heart ready for you to share your gifts and your light with the world?
This is our last song.
I'm going to leave some open space and I'm going to invite you to play with me and just imagine the energy,
The frequency of you on a day where you've shared your writing,
You've shared your light,
You've shared your gifts with the world.
And I want you to imagine it feels incredible.
Just play with that.
Image,
That vision,
That sensation in your body now.
And before we close our meditation and move into our writing this morning,
Now just take a moment to imagine your heart is smiling.
Doesn't matter what happened,
Doesn't matter what you wrote.
Don't get caught up in the details.
Your heart is smiling.
Your creative,
Artistic,
Writer heart is smiling.
Just being in that energy and maybe that smile on your heart brings a smile to your face.
Maybe not,
That's okay too.
Bravo,
Dear artist,
You made it through our meditation,
Which means we are about to open up 66 minutes of writing time for you to explore,
For you to learn more about who you are and why you're here.
For those joining us live at the artist morning.
I'm going to share an optional writing exercise.
Put 66 minutes on the clock and allow us to dive in to our writing practice this week.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
