At 33 degrees water just sits there at 32 degrees it begins to transform. For those using Celsius you know the number to be 0 degrees.
Why this radical shift in the opposite direction? Is it possible less could truly be more? What happens when we give ourselves permission to slow down?
If we are indeed energy, and we are, then what might be the result of slowing down?

The opposite of this excited state where the molecules of the water are releasing energy is to slow everything down. When we intentionally slow down, we give ourselves permission to breathe, to think, and to reflect, or as my friend and mentor Michael O’Brien says, we give ourselves…
