If you are open to receiving more love in your life, here’s a simple exercise you can do in less than 5 mins.

STEP 1: Find a comfortable and quiet place and gently close your eyes.

STEP 2: Take 3 deep breaths. The slower the better.

STEP 3: When you feel a bit more present or grounded, repeat the following affirmations 3-5 times each.

Pro Tip: Instead of rushing through, go slowly. See if you can actually bring your attention to each respective body part (e.g. eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, heart for feeling).

AFFIRMATIONS

→ I am open to SEEING love all around me.

→ I am open to HEARING love all around me.

→ I am open to FEELING love all around me.

→ I am open to BEING love.

STEP 4: Continue taking deep breaths. With each new breath, imagine your eyes, ears and heart slowly opening to receive more love.

STEP 5: If you are open to it, place one hand on your chest and give your heart a hug.

STEP 6: When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and notice if anything looks, sounds, feels different. Even a 1% difference can make a *big* impact.

For anyone interested in going deeper, I will be guiding a free meditation tomorrow morning at www.ArtistMorning.com on this exact theme.

We will have a 20 minute meditation and then 20 mins of private personal journaling, all done through Zoom.

It starts at 9AM (EDT) and if you can’t make it, there will be a replay for anyone who signs up.

It’s totally free and everyone is welcome.

Big love,

Good morning beautiful humans.

When I step back and reflect on all the new creative adventures I’ve gotten myself into since this pandemic started, it blows my mind.

Artist Morning did not exist this time last year. The truth is, if it wasn’t for COVID it would never have been created. A good reminder that sometimes shitty situations can birth beautiful creations. 

The Artist Morning community is one of the most beautiful things in my life and for that I am eternally grateful. You guys got me through the really dark parts of COVID. You reminded me of the tremendous healing power of both community and creation. 

I adore and love all of you beautiful weirdos who wake up early to log into Zoom so we can meditate and journal together in community.

Thank you for holding this sacred space with me. 

Thank you for getting silly with me. 

I hope you enjoy today’s meditation; it’s only 5 minutes long. Usually I make a 20-minute guided meditation, but today I wanted to try something a little different. 

Our next group Zoom meditation is tomorrow at 9am EST. Everyone is welcome and it’s totally FREE. You can get the Zoom link by signing up here —> www.artistmorning.com

Also, if you have 5 minutes check out the newest Artist Morning YouTube video. It’s a much shorter meditation for when you don’t have as much time, but still want to start your day feeling grounded and connected to your heart. 

Big LOVE,
