Deceleration was an elusive learning for me for many years. It was becoming more in touch with my felt sense that helped me do it. I started to see that, when I wasn’t “doing” there would be this horrible sucking sensation like I was being pulled backwards or downward into some morass of stuckness. Who wouldn’t rev up the engine to get away from that right?

When I started to have the capability to be with and be curious about those sensations- realize that they weren’t lasting, weren’t “me”, I was better able to ride that wave. Little by little I could find that sense of resting in the moment. I could hang out a bit longer before I’d feel that impulse to do something.
