Good morning,
And welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name's Darius,
And this is a special meditation made specifically for new and emerging writers.
Let's begin our practice.
If your eyes are open,
I'd like to invite you to close them now.
As we go inwards together,
Connecting with our heart,
How is your heart this morning?
Taking a few deep breaths into our heart,
Imagining new creative energy being poured into our hearts with our inhales,
And with our exhales,
We let go of anything we no longer need.
Big inhale together,
Breathing in.
New creative energy coming into our system,
Into our body,
Into our hearts.
Big exhale out.
Today is a new day.
It's a fresh new canvas for you to tap into your heart,
Tap into your truth,
Tap into your voice,
And to share what comes up for you when I say that.
Fresh new canvas going deep into our hearts,
Exploring,
Expressing,
And sharing what feels alive for you today,
Dear artist.
What feels accessible,
What feels honest,
What's ready to come through you and to be expressed in your writing today.
And if you notice you stopped taking deep breaths and you're holding your breath or your breath is shallow,
That usually means you are in your head space,
And that's okay.
Our beautiful,
Curious,
Intelligent brains are very important to this writing process.
Our deepest truths,
You know where they live,
They live inside our hearts.
So let's take deep breath back into our heart now,
Breathing in,
Hold at the top of your breath.
Take one more sip of air here,
Big exhale out with some noise.
Today we will connect with our creative spirit.
Can you feel the energy of your creative spirit?
I can feel it against my skin.
I can feel the temperature change.
Today if you are open to it,
We will allow the energy of our creative spirit to work through us.
We'll keep our heart open.
We'll keep our voice open.
We will keep our feet grounded.
From this open,
Grounded state,
We will allow our creative spirit to soar,
To play,
To expand.
Take a deep breath and just feel the energy of your incredible spirit working through you.
Can you feel the impact it has on your body?
What does it feel like?
For me,
It feels like joy,
Feels very pleasurable,
Feels like fun.
We are allowed to have fun.
We are allowed to go deep.
We are allowed to play with ease and lightness.
We are allowed to get messy.
We are allowed to make mistakes,
Perfection.
We have no interest in that silly myth.
We are here to explore,
To express,
To experience the infinite nature of our spirits.
This is our last song.
Let's take a nice deep breath,
Connecting again with our heart and aligning our incredible hearts with our brains.
Deep breath in.
Heart and mind working together,
Aligned.
Bravo dear artist.
Bravo dear writers.
We made it to the end of our meditation today.
Let's take one last deep breath here together to close our practice.
Breathing in.
Big exhale out.
For those that are joining us live at the Artist Morning Writers Club,
I'm going to put 75 minutes on the clock and give us some space and structure to dive in to our writing today,
To dive in to that fresh canvas that's in front of us today.
Of course,
If you're catching us on a replay,
You can do the same,
Put some time on your clock and see what's here and ready to be expressed through you.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
