Slow Down! Get There Fast! Part II
This is Part II of a two-part blog. See my entry of October 9 for Part I.
It was because my wife and I chose to “Slow Down! Get there Fast!” that we gradually began to realize that living in New York City with all the noise and frenetic activity was not a match for who we were.
As well, working in two high profile and high pressure professions was also not who we were and what we wanted to do with our lives. Even though we first thought that these jobs were our ticket to heaven; they really were quite the opposite!
So, after living in NYC for only three years; it became obvious to us that we had to leave. So, we made plans and in two years we were out of the City, no longer in those jobs and living in a lot slower paced and less urbanized environment. We moved to a setting that was so much more a match to who we were and not who we thought we should be.
As well, by slowing down, we began to get more and more of our real priorities straight. We took care of ourselves and explored all kinds of enriching avenues of personal growth. We deepened our meditation and other spiritual practices. As well, we started the study and practice of Chi Gung, a Chinese form of meditation and energy mastery.
This all lead me to have the courage to make my passion, which is teaching and writing about the spiritual and healing arts, become my vocation and my work. So, within just two years we moved out of the Big Apple and I began my healing and teaching practice.
Starting anything new always has it challenges and opportunities. So, there were many times when I doubted myself and my abilities. But every time I did, I remembered that if I would just “slow down” I could tune into that “still, small voice within” and there I would find my center and find my Self again and all would be clear. I would remember in this place of Silence who I was and why I came forth.
I would see where I stood on my climb up my mountain of mastery, redouble my courage and confidence and continue on, clearly knowing that I was now “getting there fast!” That is, I was getting there in Divine Timing and in Divine Order and All was truly Good!
So, “Slow Down! Get There Fast!” It works wonders!
