Hello,
This is Pratimana Agaraj and welcome to Insight,
A weekly podcast with empowering conversations.
Once we gone Insight,
Learn to pause,
Slow down and breathe.
They say life is a journey,
Not a race.
The slower we live,
The deeper we get to see it,
Absorb it and live it.
The deeper we live in alignment of the essence of who we truly are.
We get so caught up in doing and forget that being is the most powerful and magnetic force in the universe.
Slowing down doesn't mean you are doing nothing or you are wasting your mind's capacities.
Darkness is not forcefully shutting off the mind.
It's about acknowledging that it's the inherent quality,
The greatest power of the mind.
Close your eyes now.
Get present with your breath.
Sink into the deepest pores of your skin.
Feel your heart beating effortlessly every moment.
Open the gates to the enchanting land of stillness.
Slow down.
Pause.
Notice the beauty all around you.
Drown in the wonder of your life,
Of the universe.
Savor the gift even in the mundane.
Some days if we just sit by and do nothing but watch the sun rise,
Lie down on the luscious green grass or take a walk without having to get anywhere,
We complain we are not doing enough.
As if doing is of great value only if there is a tangible outcome.
Living in the chaos of life,
Somewhere we've shifted our focus from being to doing as if the latter has more value to it.
Try a moment of stillness.
Slow down and listen to the silence.
It's always showing you something beyond the surface of what you think and see.
There's something remarkable about the pause,
The quietness,
The silence within.
Take a moment to experience those things that often go unnoticed.
Relish,
Savor and indulge in every moment like it's all that is there right now.
You can drink a cup of tea slowly,
Reverently,
Gratefully as if it's the axis on which the earth rotates.
Take in every breath as if your life depended on it,
Being aware of every sensation it creates in your body.
Walk as if every step you take is like gently kissing the earth,
Allowing your body to soak in the pleasure of living on this beautiful planet.
Stop rushing.
Live up the moment.
Immerse yourself in it.
Let the past be,
Release the future.
For when you get to be here,
Present in this very moment,
You meet your real self.
Be still,
Dear one,
Slow down,
Feel the wind touching your skin.
Watch the leaves dance to its rhythmic movements,
Hear them speak,
The wisps of awareness that often get drained in the chaos of life.
Melt into the moment,
Feel yourself alive right here.
There's nowhere else to be right now but here.
We are so busy wanting to reach our destination that we miss to notice and experience the beautiful things on the path.
You are beautiful,
The journey is more exciting than the finish line.
Slow down and take a pause.
Let time become non-existent now.
Let the space for quietness with you.
Recharge,
Rejuvenate,
Feel yourself at ease and tune in.
For this is when you get to hear your soul's deepest desires and allow your truth to show up so that you can embark on that journey that you really wish to take.
