Breathe, Smile, Slow Down: A Curiosity Meditation

Send us Fan Mail

This guided meditation explores why some people avoid rest due to unconscious fears about collapse rather than concerns about productivity. We investigate both internal fears of personal collapse and external fears about what might happen if we stop micromanaging our lives.

• Get comfortable in an upright position to avoid falling asleep during the meditation
• Take genuine deep breaths unlike the shallow ones we take while rushing through tasks
• Approach the meditation with curiosity rather than expectations
• Visualize yourself truly resting without collapse
• Picture everything around you thriving even while you rest deeply
• Consider slowing down by just 2-5% in various aspects of your life
• Practice the affirmation "it is safe to be me" to reinforce safety in rest
• Notice what happens when you don't immediately rush after the meditation ends
