An ordinary movement is slowed to half its usual pace: reaching, turning, lifting a hand, setting something down. As speed drops away, the action opens into small starts, joins and endings, including the narrow space between deciding and doing. The practice stays practical and embodied, asking only for enough slowness to notice the hidden inside of motion.

Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness — a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
Half a Step Slower is a guided audio session from Salūs Rooms — part of the mindfulness collection, narrated by Becky Lane.
