Shabbos Preparation: Pace Pause

In Rena's guided somatic mindfulness practice, we begin by taking deep breaths, inviting each breath to delve into any tension spots and offering them extra support. We reflect on the past week, feeling into the rhythm of our routines and acknowledging all that lies ahead. We visualize ourselves preparing for Shabbos, first at a rapid pace, then in slow motion, adjusting the speed until it feels just right in our bodies. We allow ourselves to dream big, sensing into our needs and asking Hashem to help us make it happen.
