exersize slow too!

1. Exercise Slow

Is this the simplest exercise imaginable?

Exercise slow is a series of gentle, easy-to-do exercises to promote flexibility, balance, and calm.

This first video has an introduction and an eight-minute sequence. The idea is to follow along. It’s not a video to passively watch. The benefit from this exercise comes from doing it often, consistently, and for a sustained period of several minutes.

The Slow Movement

Beginner's guide to slowing down | Print |

Six slow secrets (and four more)

1. Have a cup of tea, put your feet up and stare out of the window. Warning: don’t try this while driving.
2. Spend some quality time in the bathtub.
3. Write down these words and place them where you can see them, “Multitasking is a Moral Weakness.” Image
4. Try to do only one thing at a time.
5. Do not be pushed into answering a question right away. Take your time.
6. Try the “One Minute Slow Exercise.” *
7. Yawn often. Medical studies have shown lots of things and possibly that yawning may be good for you.

8. Have some more tea. Tea is the drink of the slow.
9. Join our slow story reminder list.

10. Take a nap and spend at least an hour extra in bed. You deserve it. If you need help getting out of bed, then read this .

Note: If you just can't shake of an attack of seriousness, then amble slowly over to the slow blog http://www.blog.slowdownnow.org.

*Slow down for just one minute. If you are walking, slow down the pace. If you are driving, ease up on the pedal. Slow down your rate of speech. Did you notice anything different?

becoming masters of patience

“Those who have children can become masters of patience, endurance, and steadfastness, because children will test you at every turn. …The way to make our children patient and loving is to be that way ourselves.”

-- Eknath Easwaran

i found god in myself


i found god in myself
& I loved her
i loved her fiercely

—Ntozake Shange
I have come to know simple truths that before were disguised by my complexity. I have come to know the inner vision that sees with much clarity. I've come to know me, the gentleness of my spirit, as it may express itself through love and tenderness. I've come to know power in a way that’s personal and creative. My personal power of choice. I've come to know love; love of self and others is the same. I've come to know the oneness of all who walk the planet in an attempt to journey home.
—Greta Metcalf
Both quotes can be found in The Heron Dance Book of Love & Gratitude

stumbling over truth

"Everyone stumbles over the truth from time to time, but most people pick themselves up and hurry off as though nothing ever happened."

-- Sir Winston Churchill

Way to wake up!

Organic Lemon Chamomile tea -

is great for preparing the body for our morning meal!

Fresh squeezed lemon acts as an astringent and a waker-upper (:

Chamomile is great for encouraging a calm start to our day-

drink slowly and set your intention for the day

love life(:

Three Quotes on Freedom!

Freedom is the last, best hope of earth. – Abraham Lincoln

God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say:" This is my country." – Benjamin Franklin

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. – Abraham Lincoln
