Welcome to this audiobook.
Softly,
Slowly,
Gently,
Relaxing in the joy of being.
Words by Martha Ringer.
Music by Steve Chopiak.
We have a natural rhythm that is connected,
Present,
Clear,
And relaxed.
Its foundation is softly,
Slowly,
Gently.
We overlay it with our own urgencies by living at the adrenaline pace of life,
Obscuring our true focus.
If we can quell the urges to go faster,
To be quick about it,
To push with fury,
We get to drop into our solid foundation of being that holds our true pace.
As you listen,
Allow the soft rise and fall of your own breath to relax you.
Invite yourself to settle into you and receive your own gentleness.
Let any anticipation go.
Let the mind go.
Come into this receiving space,
Free of the world and filled with divine loving.
Allow these words to flow into you and watch as they arrive.
They were given to me by spirit,
Teaching me to relax even deeper into who I am.
Beginning,
Going within.
A slow,
Calm pace becomes devotion to our being.
Being attuned to the gently connects us to the intimacy of the moment.
The rise and fall of a baby's breath is gentle,
Soft,
And flowing to its own rhythm.
Let yourself touch into the soft,
Gentle being you truly are.
Be in the stillness and connect with your is-ness.
Dwell in the beauty of the quiet.
When you begin to lose focus,
Ask yourself,
Can you please stay here with me a little bit longer?
The quieting within listens to a deeper pace of being.
Middle,
Receiving.
Reserve your energy through a slowing pace.
In the slowness,
Everything becomes visible.
Watch the graceful movement of a person completely relaxed in their body and being present in the moment.
Notice how their calm relaxes you.
In moments of stress,
Our infant breath can lead us back into attunement with softly,
Slowly,
Gently.
Gently is the remembrance of your soul.
Once you taste the pace of softly,
Slowly,
Gently,
You will want to keep replenishing from that well.
Relaxing into being connects us to the divine.
Deep respect is the willingness to slow down to meet what this moment is offering.
Connecting to softly,
Slowly,
Gently is the dance that forgets all time and space and lets us live in the infinite flow of being.
Balance any urge to go and do with the pull to sit a moment in your being and simply listen.
And anchoring.
Fast-paced is the world's expectation.
Trust spirit's generosity delivered in a natural,
Attuned,
Soft breath.
Tensing up disturbs the natural flow.
Our slowed-down pace accesses information we might otherwise overlook.
Relaxing into slowly can receive what is next.
Bless yourself with staying in the moment to moment now.
Softly,
Slowly,
Gently moves us into loving.
The hurry emerges.
Wisdom.
Wisdom invites us to slow down and let clarity lead the pace.
Focusing on softly,
Slowly,
Gently allows room for grace.
The pace of doing matches our pace of being.
Staying in the slowness keeps us steady and aligned.
Our inner slow motion attunes us to the needed natural of being.
The needed natural outer movement.
Respect yourself by pausing and observing.
Let the pause be your clarifier.
Our creative spontaneity emerges in softly,
Slowly,
Gently.
Allow the being to guide the doing.
Love the pace that keeps time to God's rhythm.
Walk with the holiness of being.
The quiet calm is calling you forward.
