Oh I love this so much. So much of your journey and your intentions here resonate with me. I’m also a mindfulness practitioner and I’m new to Substack, drawn here in the same spirit of more compassion and goodness. I’ve had several people reach out to help me grow, but I’m loving the space to find the path with a slow ease. I’m so glad to have found you :)
There’s a corollary to this that I struggle with. I’d like to be a more mindful READER, a more attentive listener both to the written word on the page, but far more broadly than that. It’s likely they are two sides of a - the - spiritual coin.
Yes you do need to mindfully read too. Which is a skill I had to learn. I used to read really fast but now I take my time. Essentially I’ve slowed down everything I do!
This resonates so much with where I am at the moment. I'm longing to immerse and connect with my writing, rather than being in the flurry and circus of submissions. Really glad to have found you!
Hi Kathryn, I'm so glad it touched you! Writing slowly just for the joy of it is the best! Do check out the Mindful Writing Marathons I run each month where we uncover the stories and themes we need to write. https://themindfulwriter.substack.com/p/mindful-writing-marathons-f64
