The Sacred Art of Slowing Down: Find Relief from Rushed Living, Soothe Your Soul, and Restore Wholeness Within
We were created for so much more than rushing through life.

It’s easy for everything in our lives to seem fine on the surface. But deep down inside, there’s often another story at play—one of overwhelm, stress and heartache, of finding ourselves stuck in old patterns. Rather than feeling the weight of it all, it’s easier to spend our days on autopilot, ignoring the noise inside.

But what if the peace and relief we most long for comes from tuning in with what’s happening inside, instead of tuning it out?

Join therapist Anna Christine (A.C.) Seiple on a compassionate, mindful exploration of the depths of our souls. With gentleness, wisdom, and expertise, A.C. invites us to connect with our body and get curious about the spaces within that feel most stuck—and find where we need safety, attunement and care.

Rather than a prescriptive “how-to” guide, The Sacred Art of Slowing Down offers unique therapeutic prompts and contemplative reflections to help us
  • cultivate new rhythms to work with what’s happening inside rather than feeling like we’re working against ourselves
  • holistically explore the cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and somatic strands of ourselves—connecting with and honoring the whole of our created being
  • become more comfortable with being instead of getting caught up in doing through experiential exercises
  • embrace God’s tender compassion and care—especially for the most wounded parts of us
When we slow down to connect with the depths of our being, we are able to move through life in freer, more wholehearted—and whole-bodied—ways. May these pages be a sacred space for all parts of us to be seen, held, and nourished.
