Tranquil Being

Recently a colleague posted about something she’s noticed within herself that was very much a shared experience I resonated within myself too.

This is what I replied. Let me know if you have felt this way too. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!!

“The word “Quickening” came to me afterwards that seemed to encompass all of that hustle, unnatural rhythm & pace, uneasiness, and not able to keep up.

I wasn’t sure what that meant & looked it up & now makes so much more sense.

Quicken:
verb (used with object)

1. to make more rapid; accelerate; hasten: She quickened her pace.

2. to give or restore vigor or activity to; stir up, rouse, or stimulate: to quicken the imagination.

3. to revive; restore life to:
The spring rains quickened the earth.

verb (used without object)

1. to become more active, sensitive, etc.: This drug causes the pulse to quicken.

2. to become alive; receive life.

3. (of the mother) to enter that stage of pregnancy in which the fetus gives indications of life.

4. (of a fetus in the womb) to begin to manifest signs of life.

If THAT is what we are experiencing, how that perspective shifts into a more positive experience; albeit, definitely uncomfortable! And with this, how might that now inform the next steps or actions in one’s life or community.

How does this feel?

All that you mentioned, I had similar feelings (of being behind, fast paced, etc) & wondered what all of this was about & what changes I needed to make. If it wasn’t for your post, that intuitive hit of that word Quickening would not have came through. So, thank you 🙏”

I wonder….

How does QUICKENING relate to you & all that you’ve been feeling lately?

Anything that feels resonant? Comment below, I’d love to know!
