(Posting in my personal capacity.) This gorgeous #toothyskink popped up when I began pulling some grass from under my raised garden bed. I took his sudden appearance as a reminder to be #mindful and #gentle when interacting with #nature #skinks

The Gift of Slowing Down
A Sunday Softening Practice
As the years flow ever onward, I continue to seek quiet and calm—a softer pace, a slower life.
The moments of stillness heal and refresh my spirit, allowing that sense of calm to flow into other areas of my life.
I caution you, dear reader, though: do not believe for a moment that I am calm, cool, and collected at all times. I lose my temper. I become frustrated. I get overwhelmed. I have moments when I am anything but serene.
And that’s okay.
These moments of intense emotion are completely normal and natural. We all have our triggers, those little things that catch us off guard and remind us, Ah, yes. This is where I still have some work to do.
Growth isn’t a destination. It is a continual unfolding.
And sometimes, the best thing we can do for ourselves is simply create a little more space within which that growth can happen.
The pace of modern life can make that difficult. There is always something competing for our attention. Another notification. Another headline. Another message. Another life to look at through a screen.
For this reason, I continue to limit my time on social media.
Less time scrolling and more time with my dog, with family and friends, with good books and cozy cups of tea. More time noticing the warmth of summer, the smell of the woods, the sound of birds. More time immersed in the moments of my own life, rather than scrolling past the lives of others.
This has become one of the most beneficial gifts I can give myself:
The gift of attention.
The gift of noticing.When I slow down enough to notice, I find small moments of wonder everywhere.
ScreenshotA shaft of sunlight falling across the floor.
The warmth of a cup held between my hands.
The sound of birds outside the window.
A walk through the woods.
My dog’s ridiculous happiness at something I will never understand.
None of these moments are particularly extraordinary. And yet, together, they make up a life.
There is a simple, exquisite joy in actually being here for it.
And it is often in these moments that I realize how little my frustration and impatience accomplish. Being angry about how life is unfolding does not change its unfolding. Worrying about what has already happened does not change the past. Trying to hurry what isn’t ready to happen only creates more tension within me.
If only it were as easy to remember this in the middle of turmoil as it is when I am sitting quietly with a cup of tea.
So I pause.
I notice.
I ask myself what is truly deserving of my attention—and what isn’t.
I step away from habits that leave me feeling scattered and make room for the things that bring me back to myself.
And slowly, I begin again.
More deliberately.
More intentionally.
More authentically.Perhaps this is what slowing down really means.
It isn’t necessarily about doing less. It is about being more fully present for what we are already doing.
It is choosing to taste the coffee instead of drinking it while answering emails.
Buzz the NargleIt is taking the long way home because the evening light is beautiful.
It is reading a few pages of a book instead of reaching automatically for the phone.
It is sitting quietly with your dog.
It is allowing yourself to rest without feeling that rest must be earned.
It is noticing.
It is allowing yourself to arrive fully in the life that is already happening around you.
And perhaps that is the greatest gift we can give ourselves—not another goal to accomplish, but the opportunity to actually experience our lives as they unfold.
A Guided Meditation for Slowing Down and Living Deliberately
If you’d like to take this idea a little further, I created a guided meditation to accompany this reflection.
This gentle practice is an invitation to step away from the noise for a little while—to soften, become still, and reconnect with the simple beauty of being present.
We slow the breath, settle into the body, and explore what it might feel like to move through life with a little more intention and a little less urgency.
So find a comfortable place, press play, and give yourself permission to simply be here for a while.
You don’t have to accomplish anything.
You don’t have to get anywhere.
You can simply slow down and notice.https://open.spotify.com/episode/7ECKQm5lhBwLzt9U2M2Fer?si=hmClvZCuQhqBYbAKp_1uMg

#Mahāsati is a simple #meditation method based on cultivating #awareness while repeating a set of movements. It's especially excellent for when the #mind is #distracted or #unquiet or for anyone who finds other methods of #mindfulness meditation too challenging or #boring
Also really excellent for any time when #walking meditation is not a viable option.
#Instructions to start: https://www.mahasati.org/learn_to_meditate.html
(Videos seem to be broken, but the illustrations and descriptions are good enough to start.)The whole (short) #book for those who want to go deeper: https://www.mahasati.org/manualOfSelfAwareness.pdf

Embracing Your Body’s Season: The Journey of Perimenopause
There are seasons the Earth moves through with quiet certainty — the slow tilt toward autumn, the softening of winter’s edge, the first warm breath of spring. None of these shifts happen all at once. They unfold in layers, in pauses, in subtle recalibrations that are easy to miss unless you’re paying attention.
Perimenopause is its own kind of season.
Not a sudden event, not a single moment of change, but a long, living transition — a reshaping that happens in waves. And much like the natural world, it asks us to listen differently. To soften our pace. To honor what is shifting beneath the surface.
This meditation, A Grounded Sanctuary for Perimenopause, was born from that understanding. It’s a space to rest inside the truth that your body is not malfunctioning — it is moving, adjusting, and becoming.
And in many ways, it mirrors the Earth’s own transitions.
The Earth Doesn’t Rush Its Becoming
When a season changes, it doesn’t apologize for the unevenness of the process.
Warm days appear in the middle of winter.
Cold mornings linger well into spring.
Leaves turn one tree at a time.Nature doesn’t demand consistency.
It allows fluctuation.Perimenopause works the same way.
Some days feel steady.
Others feel like weather — unpredictable, shifting, full of sensation.The body is not failing.
It is reorganizing.And like the seasons, it does so in its own rhythm.
Cycles Within Cycles
In the meditation, there’s a moment where you imagine yourself in a landscape in transition — a meadow at dusk, a shoreline at first light. These are the thresholds of the natural world, the places where one thing is becoming another.
Perimenopause is a threshold too.
Not the end of something, but the space between identities.
Not a decline, but a reorientation.
Not a loss, but a recalibration of energy, boundaries, and truth.The Earth teaches us that thresholds are powerful.
They are where clarity emerges.
Where old patterns loosen.
Where new forms take shape.The Body’s Weather
Just as the sky shifts from sun to cloud to wind without losing its essence, your inner landscape shifts too.
Warmth rising.
Coolness settling.
Emotions moving like passing fronts.
Thoughts drifting in and out like fog.In the meditation, you remind yourself:
I am the sky, not the storm.This is the wisdom of both nature and perimenopause — the understanding that sensations are temporary, but the self beneath them is steady.
Rooting Into What Is Becoming
One of the most powerful images in the meditation is the sense of roots — a downward connection into the earth, linking you to the women who have walked this path before you.
This is seasonal wisdom.
Trees do not resist the shift from one season to the next.
They root deeper.
They conserve energy.
They trust the cycle.Perimenopause invites the same kind of rooting.
A turning inward.
A listening.
A reclaiming of what matters and a releasing of what doesn’t.This is not regression.
It is maturation.A Passage, Not a Problem
The Earth never treats transition as a mistake.
It treats it as movement.Perimenopause is not something to fix.
It is something to inhabit.A passage into a new expression of self.
A season of honesty, boundaries, and deep self-respect.
A time when the body speaks more clearly than it ever has before.The meditation is a sanctuary for that truth — a place to return to whenever the internal weather feels unpredictable or overwhelming.
Because your body is not working against you.
It is guiding you.
Wisely.
Patiently.
Toward the next version of who you are becoming.https://open.spotify.com/episode/3RQ78OvDX8faqSVpv9lPn8?si=5Uc90QzMR5uoWYla0TQP1Q
