Why slowing down matters?
Slowing down deepens awareness and connection.
It can ease stress and tension, allowing the body to recover.
Slowing down activates the parasympathetic nervous system :
— activates the state of rest & digest
— lowers heart rate and stress hormones
— calms the mind & body
What happens when you slow down?
— your breath expands and deepens
(hello intra - abdominal pressure)
— your fascia and muscles relax
— your mind eases
— your body feels safe and trusts
