Good morning and welcome to the Writer's Club.
My name is Darius and this is a short guided 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 begin to go inwards together,
Before we dive into our writing this morning,
Let's make sure we are truly here.
The most powerful place to create from is here,
Now.
If you are interested in contributing meaningful,
Honest writing,
Let's take a moment to make sure you are here,
Now.
Pulling any energy that's in the past,
Thinking about things that have already happened,
Lovingly bringing that energy back,
Back,
Back,
Back,
Back to your center,
Back to your home,
Back to your heart.
Let's take a couple of nice deep breaths here,
And if there are any parts of you thinking about the future,
Things that have not yet happened,
Things going on later today,
This week,
It's a very human thing to do.
And if you are interested in contributing meaningful,
Honest writing today,
I want to invite you to welcome those parts in the future back,
Back,
Back,
Back to your center,
Back to your home,
Back to your heart.
Breathing into your heart now,
And if you'd like to place one or two hands on your heart,
Maybe one just above your belly button,
Anchoring the energy back home.
You can put your hands down or leave them where they are if you like,
Softening your forehead,
Softening your jaw,
Your neck,
Bringing the energy from your head space down into your heart space.
This is where the stories live.
This is where your courage lives.
This is where your connection to something above and beyond yourself,
Whatever that something is for you.
We have a block of time this morning to put our phones away,
To put our email away,
To put social media away,
To put all of the other things that we do away so that we can focus on writing,
So that we can focus on writing.
If there's a part of you that has always wanted to write,
Always wanted to share stories,
This is your opportunity.
This is the space.
This is the support.
It's here right in front of you,
But there is a cost.
There is a cost.
It requires focus.
It requires courage,
Courage to be a beginner,
Courage to look silly,
Courage to make mistakes.
All of those are the cost to working our way to really wonderful writing in the future.
Everybody starts as a beginner.
That's okay.
This is our last song.
I'm going to leave some space,
But before I do,
I just want to send you an intention for your writing today,
For you to have fun,
For you to play,
For you to make mistakes,
For you to dig a little bit deeper than last week.
What is your intention,
Dear writer?
What is your intention with our writing session today?
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear writer.
You made it to the end of our meditation,
Which means it's time now for our writing.
For those that are joining us live at the Writers Club,
I'm going to put 66 minutes on the clock,
Share an optional writing exercise for those interested.
And then allow us to write in community together and to share our stories,
Our wisdom,
Our excitement,
Our joy,
Our contribution this week.
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.
My name is Darius,
And I will see you next time.
