Capturing creativity through meditation and journaling with Darius Bashar
Capturing creativity through meditation and journaling with Darius Bashar
Darius Bashar is a portrait photographer, podcaster, and writer, but before any of that, he is a soul having a "human experience." He is also the Artist Morning creator, a 60-minute container of space, support, and structure for anyone who wants to meditate and journal together.
Artist Morning is a great way to jump-start your creative flow and be in a community of fellow Creators who can support and celebrate each other. And it’s totally FREE. These guided meditation and journaling sessions take place Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 AM-10 AM EST.
But before becoming a portrait photographer, podcaster, writer, and creating Artist Morning, Darius says, "I was a lost puppy trying to figure out who I was. For most of my 20's, I was a part of the Toronto start-up world, which was really tough, but also some of the best years of my life.
"After that, I spent some time in advertising, which honestly was probably the darkest time in my life. I was paid exceptionally well, had many perks, but I was miserable for the majority of it.
"At the time, I did not have the courage or the tools to communicate my emotional state, so I suffered in silence. I did my best to always look strong and put-together on the outside. This meant a lot of breakdowns in the parking lot alone. It also meant a lot of drinking and numbing myself from the pain.
"I've never publicly talked about this part of my life before. It's a chapter full of pain and disappointment. But if this last year of writing has taught me anything, it's that I'm not the only one that feels these things. Sharing hard truths, that have been buried deep inside, can be terrifying. Standing there alone, raw as fuck, you can feel energy everywhere. Every breeze sends chills up your naked body.
"But here's the thing, if you sincerely share from your heart, with the intention of healing, sooner or later someone else will step forward, in solidarity, and strip off some clothing too.
"Naked can be terrifying, but it can also be one of the most liberating human experiences - if you let it.
"Here's to being naked. "
In this video interview, Darius and I explore:
-His journey to meditation and journaling.
-Why he's grateful for day fourteen of quarantine.
-The healing power of both community and creation.
-How to find your way back to sharing and expressing your art.
After you watch the video, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Did any of this resonate with you?

I love how Spirit is always speaking to us, whether through dreams, ideas, friends, family, situations, or other messages. Source is always speaking to us. And whether we get on the same frequency to hear the message or not, Spirit does not judge us one bit. We can never miss what is meant for us, and The Universe is happy to co-create with us once we are ready. Don't forget to breathe deeply, connect consciously, and thrive wholeheartedly!
Sending lots of love & light,
Francisca Hernandez of Breathe Connect Thrive
