Slowing down means paying more attention to the space in our lives—inside and out. Is your mind spacious or crammed full of busyness? We can manage our limited time to enable more freedom and learn to watch our thoughts with detachment just as we would watch children at play—nonjudgemental, joyful, and yet alert for negative influences. In the Mahamudra Lineage Prayer, thoughts are said to be the play of the mind.
