Slowing Down. When I say those words, a deep breath seems to always follow.
From a nervous system perspective, I am someone who always tends to lean more toward the stress response. At one point in my life the need to be alert and ready to take action was what I needed to survive, but I know now that the survival techniques of my 5, 10, even 15 year old self no longer serve me. ⠀⠀ Being still is listening in my experience. I am ready to be still enough to notice that my insides never are. Still enough to fall in awe with the way my body takes care of me on the daily. Body, I am sorry for making your process so difficult sometimes as I am still learning that I am light and not circumstance. I am ready to be still enough to allow my spirit to be a witness to my ever spiraling mind and emotions. I am ready to go slow enough to give my organs the space and time to whisper what they need. I am ready to allow the sensations in my body to have a voice and I now welcome them to be my greatest teacher. ⠀⠀ Slowing down has always terrified me because I am not one who is familiar with a slow mind. When the silence comes...the false narratives tend to begin. I am realizing lately that I don’t have to slow my mind, but simply allow it to flutter and give it permission to be where it is. The teaching is in being with the feeling, seeing it without attachment, and dropping my storyline about it. To simply feel it all and allow what I feel to move through me. Slowing is revealing how many memories and fears I hold in my bones and muscles. The beauty is that my body is a compass and if I go slow enough, only then I can interpret it’s wisdom and be led into the light that I know I am.
