Good morning and welcome to the artist's morning.
My name is Darius,
And I am 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.
Nice and slow.
Let's start by taking longer,
Deeper breaths together.
Breathing in Big exhale out.
.
.
Continue taking longer,
Deeper,
Intentional breaths,
Moving the energy from the top of your body,
From your head,
Down,
Down,
Down.
Through your body.
Each inhale new creative energy in with each exhale just letting go getting lighter allowing anything you no longer need.
To easefully leave through your exhales.
Today's practice.
Is a journey that has the potential to elevate your frequency,
To elevate your energy.
And to open you up to incredible possibilities.
Just allow that to sink in and notice how you feel about what I just shared.
Maybe you are open to it.
Maybe you are excited.
Maybe you are resistant to it,
Maybe you can feel a place in which you start to contract or close It may be something totally different.
All answers are welcome.
Despite what your mind might be telling you,
There is no way to get this wrong.
There is no way to get this wrong.
We are just playing here.
So let's take a nice deep breath into our hearts now,
Breathing in.
Hold at the top of your inhale.
Big exhale out.
Allow your voice to take up space.
Allow your voice to take up space.
Allow your breath to take up space.
Allow your heart to take up space.
Just notice.
How you react to what I just shared.
How do you feel about taking up more space in this world?
Whatever comes up,
Don't fight it,
Just notice it.
Just watch it like a movie playing in front of you.
Oh interesting,
That's what comes up for me when I'm invited to take up space.
Continue taking deep breaths.
The deep breaths allow your channel to remain open.
When we are in our heads,
When we begin to spiral in our thoughts,
Breathing becomes small.
And that allows us to stay trapped in that thought.
So continue breathing deeply and keeping your channels open.
Are you able?
To access.
Joy here.
Are you able to access joy here,
Even 1% joy,
As you breathe in and out?
See if there is joy waiting.
To be appreciated waiting.
To be breathed into yourself.
1% more joy.
Breathe it in 2% more joy.
Breathe it in.
3%,
4%,
5%,
10% more joy.
Breathe it in.
As I breathe it in,
It begins to impact my body.
I have goosebumps all over my arms.
I can feel the goosebumps all the way down my legs.
Yes,
Joy is the key that opens up the gate.
To our wildest dreams.
Joy is the key that opens up the gate to your wildest dreams.
You can fight it if you'd like.
You can believe that part of your mind that says,
There's no joy here.
You can leave this experience,
You can shut down,
You can do whatever you want.
Say that again.
You can do whatever you want.
What a strange thing for a guided meditation to say.
Let's be strange.
Let's be different.
Isn't that what creativity is?
Being different.
Thinking differently.
You can do whatever you want.
You can think.
Whatever you want.
You can control and change your thoughts.
You can change your thoughts.
Maybe.
.
.
You refuse to believe that,
And that's okay.
I want to tell you this isn't just some strange guided meditation.
This is science.
Neuroplasticity is a real thing.
You can change your thoughts.
Continue breathing.
Continue letting the magic that is here impact you.
You are what you create.
You are the stories you tell yourself about yourself.
You are what you create.
You are the stories you tell yourself about yourself.
Would you like to tell different stories?
The words you say.
Are powerful.
The words you say cast spells.
That's why it's called spelling.
You can change your thoughts.
You can change your thoughts.
You You are what you create.
You are what you believe.
You are the stories you repeatedly tell yourself.
You are what you create.
You are what you believe.
You are the stories you repeatedly tell yourself.
Be careful.
What words do you use to describe your life?
Words said out loud are spells.
That's why it's called spelling.
Every day each one of us is casting a spell that determines who we are.
And what we are capable of.
You are what you create.
You are what you believe.
You are the stories you repeatedly tell yourself.
Here.
Now.
Is an opportunity.
To cast your spell.
Here now is an opportunity.
To tell yourself stories.
To create beliefs that support you.
That love you.
That allow you to do the work you are here to do.
This is our last song.
I'm going to sit back and just let you be.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
We made it to the end of another meditation.
And for that,
I am so grateful.
Thank you for playing with me.
Thank you for exploring with me.
Thank you for being silly and sacred with me.
For those that are joining live at the artist's morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and share an optional writing prompt.
To allow us to continue the journey.
And of course,
If you're catching us on a replay,
Perhaps on Insight Timer,
You can do the same.
Thank you once again for meditating with me.
My name is Darius,
And I will see you next time.
