For most part of 2024, we’ll be focusing on slowing down in our Wednesday Pause sessions. The starting point would be to sit.
Sitting lowers our center of gravity, enabling us to feel more grounded.
Then using the outbreath, we bring the mind back to reminding ourselves to slow down, to become conscious that we’re sitting, how we’re sitting.
The invitation is to practice this whenever you have moments to pause, say when you are in the train or bus. Even when you are driving and stopping to wait for the lights to turn green, you can check in with the body, reminding yourself to slow down, to notice how you are sitting.
What would the world do with me?, by JP
Why is it
that I only sit quietly
in the morning?
Am I allowed just
one breath
of wholeness
before the barrage
of the day?
What would happen
if I claimed
all my other breaths
in the name of peace –
of saving a life?
What would the world
do with me?
