I know many of us want to be finished with 2020. But sometimes if we have not given ourselves space to process fear or grief those emotions can get stuck inside of us. Sometimes they will stay there for a very long time and can impact our lives for years to come. ⁣⁣

This guided meditation will give you a little space to lovingly let go of any conscious or unconscious fears, grief or even shame from this past year. ⁣

It pairs really well with 10-15 minutes of private journaling (post-meditation). ⁣

Take her for a spin and let me know what you think. ⁣

Big love! ⁣⁣

Hey Facebook Fam! I need your help. 

Misha and I made this simple intro video to describe how Artist Morning works. 

It is exactly 83 seconds long. 

Do you think you could do me a solid and let me know what you think of the video? 

• Is there anything that is MISSING? 
• Do you walk away with questions or feeling confused?
• Also, if you have attended Artist Morning before… do you feel like this video is an accurate summary of what to expect? 

Any feedback would be appreciated. 

Big love, 

D

What's the highest emotional state an artist or creator can achieve? Is it the moment in which the project is finally complete? Or is it that point—somewhere in the middle—where the project is being birthed through them… that magical moment where the artist transcends themselves and is in total flow with the Universe?

This powerful question which was posed by Abraham Hicks rocked my world by reframing emotional intensity and creative doubt. More on this in the video below.

Big love!

I think one of the biggest mistakes new artists and new creators make is putting too much pressure on themselves—especially when it comes to money.

A new artist is like a young child… and you don't want to put unnecessary stress on the small shoulders of a young child.

In this video I talk about my early days as a portrait photographer and a specific strategy I used that helped me avoid getting burned as a new creator.

This approach also gave me a competitive advantage creatively, as it provided me with the space and structure to experiment and explore.

Big love!

I recently partook in a powerful plant medicine journey. 

A sacred ceremony that involved psilocybin mushroom (AKA magic mushrooms). 

I had many beautiful and deeply profound experiences during this journey. 

I wanted to share one that has already left a big impact on my life. 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Psilocybin is a plant based medicine that can be tremendously healing. BUT like any medicine it can also cause harm if not used properly. 

If you have never used psilocybin and are interested I highly recommend you hire a professional practitioner to help guide you through your first experience. This could be a therapist that is trained in psilocybin, or a spiritual leader or Shaman. 

Be safe. Be gentle. And follow your heart. 

Big love!

I used to go to bed at 4AM. I was convinced I was NOT a morning person. 

Now I know I most definitely am a morning person, I’m just NOT a “wake-up person”. These are 2 very different things. 

For the past 3 years now I trained myself to wake up at 4:30AM. 

This would sound totally insane to the the old me. 

The reason I do it is because I have discovered that the hours of 4am to 7am are easily worth 3 times as much when it comes to productivity and CREATIVITY. 

I literally feel like I get 9 hours of work done before most people are awake. 

In this video I share a few of my fav tips that have helped me wake up before 5AM. 

Big love!

For me there is no better feeling than creating.

It feels like I am dancing with God.

It feels like riding my bike on the first day of summer, when I was 10 years old.

It feels like everything is possible. 

I’m really lucky to be able to create so many different things in my life, but sometimes it feels like my connection to my heart and my art is a million miles away.

I use to get really frustrated and down on myself when I ran into a creative block. Sometimes I would also get scared that maybe I had reached my limit for creativity in this lifetime.

In this video I share 5 TIPS I personally use when I’m in a creative rut and am feeling creatively blocked. 

Hope you enjoy the video and feel free to share a few of your own tips for dealing with creative blocks in the comments below or you can DM me too.

Love,

D

I have recently been thinking a lot about death —  particularly my own. The idea of death has been finding me in my dreams and also in my waking life. 

I don’t mind. I actually appreciate it. Reflecting on the limited time I have left here on Earth helps me focus. 

I keep going back to the same question…”If this was my last year as Darius what would I leave behind?”

Recently I’ve been making some fun How-To YouTube videos, mostly on how to make better videos and how to look and feel great on Zoom. 

I love making these videos and you guys seem to appreciate them too. I want to keep making How-To videos that help people CREATE more cool stuff…

AND…

I HAVE SO MUCH MORE I WANT TO EXPRESS AND CREATE BEFORE I LEAVE!

The truth is we all have a last breath that is looking for us. 

My last breath might find me in 50 years from now or it might find me in 50 mins from now. 

When it finally does, I want to do everything in my power to make sure I don’t leave this earth and this body with light trapped inside me. Light that never got a chance to shine bright.

Since April I have been hosting and facilitating Zoom groups 3–5 times EVERY single week. 

I did the math and that’s over 100 Zooms that I have lead for Artist, Creators and Meditators from around the world. 

As you can imagine doing the same thing 100+ times in a row will teach you things. I made so many mistakes, especially in the early days. 

My background is in photography and film, so holding space for 15–25 people several times a week could be REALLY.

This was made even more difficult because I can get really introverted and am SUPER sensitive to other people’s energies. 

With this How-To Video I share my 9 Best Zoom Facilitation Tips that have saved my BUTT during these past 100+ Zooms that I have lead during COVID.
