Magic of slowness !

Today I share the magic of slowness.

By looking at the activity level of a person, such as speed of walking, speaking, hand movement,
Level of his various body parameters like BP, heart rate, rate of respiration etc can be guessed, which would also be on the higher side.

The rate of body process and rate of walk, speech, or activities go together.

Also the brain activity also follows the same rhythm. Lets call it the "Brain Rate"

The higher the Brain rate
Higher will be,
Anxiety, distraction, stress, anger, instinctive reaction.


Lower will be,
Peace of mind, concentration, focus, imagination, awareness, intelligent response


Now, this synergistic Body-Rhythm can be manipulated for better health and productivity.

Slowing the body can reduce the brain rate.

Best practices that I have found are Slow talking, and slow walking.

Slow talking- more depth in much less words, better communication and impact. Look at the good speakers, who also speak slow, like Atal ji.

Slow walking-
Reduce walking speed to as slow as it can be, steps will become a bit longer.
Loosen up the body, legs, hips, arms, shoulders, let them swing.
Now you will realize the awareness of surroundings expanding. Various sounds and sights will enter your observation. Within 2 minutes mind will at a very different level of awareness and observation.
Also deep breathing starts,maximizing oxygen intake.
Now u realize mind and body have settled down to a calmer level.

Same activity, with more discipline and technique becomes "Walking Meditation "

The time taken during walking or speaking might increase by 10-15%, but impact and productivity may rise more than lets say 500%.

Slow talking, slow walking is also slow living, living and experiencing each hour and each day. Not exhausting the life in a rush. See how years have flown by. Weeks cross before you can count.

Slower movement, deeper awareness, better productivity, slower life and better health.

NB- in fact slower reading will also increase absorption
