When Time Softens: Moving Through the Slowed

Lately, I’ve noticed something subtle but undeniable — time feels like it’s softened. The last few days haven’t carried the same fast pulse they usually do. Moments seem to stretch, hours move gently, and even the to-do list doesn’t feel as urgent. It’s as if the world has exhaled and invited me to do the same.

We’ve just moved through Samhain’s thinning veil and a powerful Beaver Supermoon is approaching , both carrying deep integration energy. After weeks of heightened emotion and reflection, the body and spirit crave spaciousness — a slowing that lets everything we’ve absorbed settle into place.

It’s that sacred pause between what was and what’s yet to come.

When we shift from fight or flight into calm awareness, time naturally expands. The nervous system finds rhythm with the Earth’s slower, steadier heartbeat, and our perception widens. In that space, we begin to feel again — not just react. We notice the small things: the warmth of sunlight, the softness of breath, the stillness that hums between thoughts.

If you’ve felt it too — this gentle deceleration — take it as an invitation:

to move a little slower

to listen a little deeper

to let yourself simply be in the quiet of this in-between season

Time hasn’t really slowed down. We have.

And maybe that’s exactly what the energy of now is asking us to do.
