Speed, efficiency, multitasking, and productivity are highly valued in our modern culture. This means we've lost touch with the slower rhythms and pace of nature and our inner selves. This episode of AWAKENING is all about the remarkable benefits of slowing down and pacing yourself, as well as what prevents you from doing so.
