A recent NY Times article offers advice from a Buddhist monk on self-care and meditation. The monk has written a book entitled “ The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down”. One of Tai Chi primary properties is its deliberate graceful pace. By relaxing the body Tai Chi encourages the mind and spirit to also slow down. Many times on the ‘pink floor’ you hear an instructor say- do it slower please.

Haemin Sunim said he wrote his first book, “The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down,” after teaching students at Hampshire College and answering their questions about managing the stress in their lives. He said his ultimate goal in writing “Love for Imperfect Things” was to guide readers to a path of self-care and acceptance.
