WEBVTT - Slow Down, You Move Too Fast

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>You're getting through your life, but what I want to

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>know is are you actually living it today? Let's explore

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>how slowing down gives you the fulfillment and love of

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 1>life that you're actually after you found your way here

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to waking up with Ryan. I'm so glad that you

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>pushed play. This is the place you and I come

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to wake up together. So let's take a deep breath

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and begin Good morning Love. Slow down, you move too fast.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 1>You gotta make the morning last, just kicking down the cobblestones,

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>looking for fun and feeling groovy.

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Feeling groovy.

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>One of the biggest problems we have in life is

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>that we move too darn fast, while the universe and

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>life itself with a capital L, moves so slowly. And

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>you and I are wanting to feel more connected to

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the universe, which means that we need to pay attention

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to pace, because while you are moving so fast, the

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>universe is moving slowly, patiently, And if you want to

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>join it, and you want to experience it joining you,

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to like speed up to meet you,

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.919
<v Speaker 1>at least in my experience. But if you slow down

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:59.639
<v Speaker 1>enough to meet its pace, it's as if a whole

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>world becomes available, shows itself to you. You and I

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>tend to wake up in the morning like charging ahead thoughts,

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>going wild, and then adding caffeine. I mean, I love

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>my caffeine, adding caffeine to the busyness, speeding up more,

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and we wonder why it feels as though this supportive

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>universe is so distant.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not distant. It's right here.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>It's just existing at a pace that's slower than your

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of caffeinated busy mind, and so we have to

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>slow down to meet it. I mean, think about a

0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>massive tree. Trees can live for a thousand years, and

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>with that expanded lifetime, they move slowly. You can watch

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>a tree for a long time and never see it grow.

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>It just moves really slowly over time.

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>And you and I, because we're fed this ego belief

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that you are this body that only exists for a

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>short amount of time, it gives room to the mind

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>to move so quickly to think I need to achieve,

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I need to do, I need to make I need

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to handle that survival mind that's always going moves really quickly.

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>And that's okay as long as you're conscious of it

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and can break it up and train.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Yourself to also move slowly.

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>This is where in the Great jew Wish Wisdom tradition,

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>we have the Sabbath. From Friday at sundown until Saturday

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>at sundown. We stop everything, no technology, no traveling in

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>a car. We sit with our family, We break bread,

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>we light candles, we say prayers. We welcome what's called

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the Sabbath bride, the chahina, the female aspect, the receiving.

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>We welcome that female energy, the not doing. We shift

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>from doing during the week to the receiving during the Sabbath,

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 1>where we just sit, slow down and be.

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>With life.

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, how does this also impact your day to day

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.119
<v Speaker 1>life when you're out in the world doing, working, taking

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.640
<v Speaker 1>care of things, handling your life. Well, the more you

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>train yourself to slow down meet really the present moment,

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the more you'll have access to that when the mind

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>is tempted to speed up. Esther Hicks uses this imagery.

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Of a car on a massive hill.

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>So imagine the hills of San Francisco super steep, and

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a car parked at the top of the hill,

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and for whatever reason, the parking break disengages and that

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>car starts to slide down the hill.

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Where would you rather be.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather be at the bottom of that hill,

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>where that car has built.

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>So much momentum that it is going.

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>To completely flatten you, Or would you rather be at

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 1>the top of that hill where the car hasn't yet

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>built momentum, where you actually, assuming you're able body to

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>able to stop the car, ask for help, get someone

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.919
<v Speaker 1>to jump in and put the brake back on. I

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>believe you'd rather be at the top of the hill

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>where it hasn't built momentum. Now, the more slowly you

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>move in life, the more you practice slowing down and

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>doing nothing, which by the way, goes against what the

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>mind wants you to do, seems counterintuitive.

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 2>The more you slow down in.

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Practice, the more you'll have access when the mind is

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 1>just at the top of the hill about to start

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>sliding into the spiral of thinking that you know, where

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>it builds more and more and more momentum. The more

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>time it does its thing, the slower you're moving, the

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>more likely you're going to catch the mind right at

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the top of the hill. Notice, oop, mind is starting

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to speed me away, speed me away from the present moment.

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>What can I do to pause?

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Sit, be mindful of where the mind is going and

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>come back to the present moment. So the less momentum

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the mind has, the more likelihood you're actually able to

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of stop it in its tracks.

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>And so these sacred pauses.

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>That you can build into your life. In my experience,

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>this is where life for me has gotten so much

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>more interesting and honestly more abundant, more successful.

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 2>The more I pause.

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Notice the mind wanting to get me into action, and

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>sit and slow down and take in the present moment.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 2>And observe the beauty of.

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>What's here, the more connected I feel to life itself,

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and the more I get to witness the way life

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of has its way with me. The illusion that

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I am separate from life dissolves when I slow down.

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>And I want that for you, and it deserves a

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>reminder consistently, because you have to break the pattern of

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the pace that the.

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Mind is wanting to and used to moving.

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>So let's just take a few moments to have a

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>practice of doing nothing, recognizing that when we do nothing,

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you give yourself the opportunity to connect to everything. So

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>closing your eyes if you can, taking a few deep

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 1>breaths to rest into the present moment. The only doing

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>we are doing is having taken our seat, doing the

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>closing of the eyes, doing a few deep breaths, all

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>of those actions preparing us to simply be here and

0:09:36.840 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>meet this moment, allowing each breath to literally drop you

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>more and more here, pausing being allowing your agendas to

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>fall away for now you can pick them back up later.

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's sick a deep breath together and let it go,

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 1>trusting that sitting here in the nothingness is filling you

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 1>with the wisdom and the direction and the opportunities that

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>arise when you do move into action. Let's take one

0:11:43.920 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>more deep breathing together and let it go, and if

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you're ready, opening your eyes. I appreciate you taking the

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:17.680
<v Speaker 1>sacred pause with me. It may seem too simple, but

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:18.679
<v Speaker 1>I find that.

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.719
<v Speaker 2>True awakening, true.

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Spirituality, is actually the simplest thing in the world. All

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>we need to do is pause to meet what is

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>always right here. Loving you from here, Hi, I hope

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.480
