Grow in Slow Motion is a moving meditation class in the form of a folk-pop song. From lyrical instructions to “Focus on the breath and don’t try to change it”, it opens into delightful orchestral sing-a-longs affirming a connection with nature's cycles, and providing a soothing soundtrack for tending to our garden within (mental health).

LYRICS:
Focus on the breath and don't try to change it
Behind those closed eyes there's a garden growing
Mmm
So pause for just one moment and see what you're growing
Take in all the rain you need for the seeds we've sown them
And we'll keep sowing, oh
'Cos we're waiting...for water
And oh when I get it, oh when I get it I'll grow slow
Oh when I get it, oh when I get it I'll grow slow
I'll grow in slow motion, roots running deep to rivers that reach the oceans
I'll flow in and out and in again, I'm pulled by the moon's gravitation
We are, oh we are mostly water
And oh when I get it, oh when I get it I'll grow slow
Oh when I get it, oh when I get it I'll grow slow
I'll grow in slow motion, roots running deep to rivers that reach the oceans
I'll flow in and out and in again, I'm pulled by the moon's gravitation
I'll grow in slow motion, roots running deep to rivers that reach the oceans
I'll flow in and out and in again, I'm pulled by the moon's gravitation
So focus on the breath and don't try to change it
Behind those closed eyes there's a garden, waiting
