What does the phrase “slow living” mean?

Slow living is both exactly what it sounds like and so much more. It is the profound act of slowing down, doing less, and savoring more.

I saw a quote today that I love… “The four natural sanctuaries are silence, solitude, stillness and simplicity.”

What are some helpful tips for learning how to slow down?
1. Meditation. My number 1 tip for slowing down, is meditation, meditation and meditation. I honestly don’t know if living slowly is even possible without this practice. There are so many great books out there on meditation, and they all appeal to different audiences.

For very beginners who are skeptical about the entire process, I recommend “10% Happier”, and for more seasoned meditators, I also recommend I recommend Tara Brach’s “True Refuge”.

2. Music & silence. My second tip is playing some light, atmospheric, peaceful music in your home. Music is an amazing way to intentionally set a mood or change your pace.

3. Start your day slowly

4. Mono-Tasking. Not multi-tasking. Along those lines, do one thing at a time whenever you can, and be fully present in it. Really try hard to stop multitasking

5. Follow natural cycles. Daily cycles of waking and sleeping by keeping the lights low and minimal, monthly menstrual cycles, seasonal cycles of resting in the winter and activity in the summer

6. Get embodied. Feel your body, do yoga, massage, stretching, breathing exercises, dancing, walks etc.

7. Minimalize your things. Focus on quality over quantity. Create from Scratch. Instead of fast-fashion, Amazon, etc.

8. Spend time with Pets

Ram Dass once said, "we are all walking each other home". I hope it is a slow, long, walk to wherever we are all heading.
