Slow
Dictionary definition….marked by low speed…..he moved with slow deliberation…
Ooh, that is a good one!
How many times do we tell ourselves, I need to slow down. Lots, am I right?
There are many slow movements right now, i.e., slow cooking, slow down and smell those roses.
Yes yes, we’ve all heard it, but not so easy to accomplish in this fast-paced world we live in. It would seem that moving fast doesn’t necessarily allow us to savor every moment, and yes sometimes we need to pick up our pace and run with it all.
Nothing wrong with that either.
But what a gift to be able to slow down at will and simply lean into the slowness of it all, making time adapt to your needs and not always beating that clock.
What would be your perfect slow day or night?
Think about it, give yourself the luxury of imagination.
Perhaps taking a long bath with your lover, setting the stage of your private space with candles and maybe a bottle of nice wine that you’ve always wanted to try. Luxuriating in a calm sensual atmosphere and after a cozy bed where you can give and receive long slow massages, no time clock, no interruptions, simple pleasure without expectations, connecting with another human being, with conscious awareness.
I know sometimes that simple few hours is often hard to steal. We have the demands of job, of family, the list is endless, but think how beneficial to the body, the mind, the spirit.
How deeply rejuvenating on so many levels, I invite you to make that space within your life, once a week, once a month, once in a while. Slow down, enjoy the taste of food in the mouth, slow down, smell the aromas around you, slow down, feel the touch of another on your skin. Appreciate all that you are, and all that you are not, slowly.
