Transcript

Welcome.

In this session,

We'll explore what it really means to slow down to go fast.

Not as a concept,

But as a lived experience.

When life feels busy or demanding,

Our instinct is often to speed up,

To push through,

To make quick decisions so we can move on.

But when we move too fast,

We often end up reacting rather than responding.

Our choices are driven by urgency or emotion instead of clarity.

And even when we're getting things done,

It can feel heavy and exhausting.

Slowing down creates space.

Space to come back to ourselves.

Space to notice what matters.

Space to move forward in a way that feels more aligned.

When the mind slows,

The nervous system settles.

And from that steadier place,

Decisions tend to be clearer,

Actions more intentional,

And effort more efficient.

Rather than thinking about this anymore,

Let's take a moment now to experience it directly.

Allow yourself to pause.

You don't need to fix anything or figure anything out.

Just stop for a moment.

Let your attention move into your body.

Notice where you're being supported by the chair,

The floor,

The ground beneath you.

Bring awareness to your breath,

Not changing it.

Just notice the inhale and the exhale.

If the mind feels busy or restless and it feels comfortable,

Gently place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.

Notice the sensation of warmth,

The simple feeling of touch.

Let that be enough.

As you continue to breathe,

Make a small adjustment in your posture.

Allow your torso to lean down into the ground through your hips.

Feel your weight settling there.

You might imagine roots growing from your hips,

Down through your legs and feet,

Extending into the earth below.

Nothing to force,

Just allowing yourself to be held.

Stay here for a few breaths.

Let the pause do the work.

When you're ready,

Gently return,

Bringing the steadiness back into whatever comes next.

You can come back to this pause any time you need to feel more grounded,

Clear or at ease.

Reviews

This guides voice was so soothing. I particularly enjoyed the meditation piece where her tone made it seem like she was wrapping her arms around me in a supportive hug, and her words sounded like she was trying to put me in a loving cocoon, soothing me ybtini was ready to emerge. I could’ve listened to her for longer!
