snail

Rushing is a waste of time.

Consistent, sensual connection to shellf and the Earth is what creates forward motion. Speed is not in the snail's vocabulary. These grounded beings read the world with their bodies, not their eyes so connection is more vital than any clock. Inch by inch, the snail embraces slow intentional movement to ground.

When we rush we make mistakes and say the wrong things, often requiring us to retrace our trail and start over. The snail knows that presence leaves a gentle path that can make others lives even smoother.

As snails grow and change, so does their shell, creating a safe self-integration tool. When the rush calls, as it always does, let it be a reminder to ground back into yourshellf. Surrender to your self-made spiral of protection and integrate the great lessons of your life so you can emerge and serve once again.

When called out, assess the world around you in a full-body experience. Gather a lay of the land and ground as your source of stability, knowing you can reach back into your shell at any time.

Slow stirring invites actions of kindness, decomposing the pain, fear, and worry.

Wouldn't you move at a snail's pace if your every thought, every word, paves the path?

THE PRAYER

My trail is perfectly patient and on it I see, feel and appreciate all that comes my way.
