The Art of Slowing Down


Listen Later

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. 
Slowing down sounds easy until you realize how hard it is to get your mind and body in the same place at the same time.
In this episode, Blaine shares how “The Art of Slowing Down” grew from a local Energy Medicine Yoga workshop at a Colorado rec center into a session for Boulder County employees during a particularly stressful season at work. What happened next surprised her. The response was immediate. People felt calmer, more present, and relieved to have tools they could use right away, rather than one more thing to “work on.”
Blaine talks about what slowing down really means in the body, why so many people stay stuck in a low-grade stress response all day long, and the small moment during the Boulder County session that made her realize this conversation needs to happen in far more places than yoga studios.
She also shares a few of the practices from the workshop and explains why simple, repeatable actions can have such a strong effect on the nervous system over time.
If stress has started feeling more normal than calm, this episode is for you. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!
