THE ART OF SLOWING DOWN.....
Ok....so onto the insight goods.....
Sometimes it's not an easy task to slow down....especially when we're used to momentum, busyness, the to-do-lists and all the stuff that occupies our mind, life and body. Much of our society is functioning from adrenal exhaustion and yet we keep on pushing. What a blessing to be given this time to slow....knowing that if I don't it could negatively impact my babies and me.....what a wake up call!
Here are my suggestions for slowing down & why:
- Don't wait for the wake up call to happen! Sometimes it is so drastic and painful that it knocks us way down. You have full power to choose balance, rebalance and chill time now....
- Being is just as important as doing....and the last time I checked....we have both masculine drive and feminine flow a part of us! When we're pushing too hard...the body and being will eventually push back.
- Carve out time EVERY DAY! YES....EVERY DAY for rest, putting your feet up, bathing, laying in a hammock, meditation, no-doing.....at least an hour a day would be awesome! This will give your body, mind and energy field a chance to reset and re-calibrate....it will give your nervous system and adrenals a chance to nurture, rest and repair.
- Keep it simple! It doesn't have to be elaborate like going to a spa every day / week or checking out for a week (unless you really want to). It's the simple daily non-doing, being activities that you can plug into your life that make the real difference.
- You may feel the pull back toward the push-go-do energy. Acknowledge it and then consciously choose to rest and relax again and again....until it becomes more natural!
Mind-Body-Soul Benefits to Slowing Down: - You return to the flow...the natural rhythm of YOU, of Source energy, of your full being! When this happens....life opens up! And MANY of the things you're racing around to "get" actually arrive to you with ease, flow and grace!
- You get to experience a more full version of YOU! A whole, complete, relaxed version of you! Which can inspire you! After a full week of letting go and non-doing-ness....I actually could hear and feel the energy of the trees swaying in the wind and the sunlight dancing off the water. I became so present to the joy around me that I found myself naturally smiling!
- Presence! You get to experience life with a more mindful, present and rich context! Today while at the waterfront....Aria and I grabbed a bite to eat.....as I was just being....I watched her and felt so blissfully happy just being with her! Present to her! Savouring this incredible life and being right in front of me!
- Life becomes more soulful ALL the time!
- Increased intuition and ability to tune in to your guides and those passed on!
- You fine-tune your EVERYTHING awareness! You'll find yourself being so beautifully aware....as if all your senses are heightened!
After several days of uncomfortableness.....learning to unwind and slow down....I can honestly say that today I feel the full richness of the value of being! I can feel my uterus relaxing. I can sense the babies flowing and growing! I can use my breath to redirect my thoughts much more fluidly. And.....I can feel my whole being thanking me for listening and re-adjusting!
It is soooooooooooo worth being able to slow down! I HIGHLY recommend it! Even if you aren't expecting twins! And if you are in alignment with this....and choose the art of slowing down....let me know what your experiences are! I would LOVE to know what flow presents for you!!!!
