  Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome Welcome back.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the sweet spot where neuroscience meets ancient wisdom.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining me here.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I'm Dr Derek Sweet.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'm a board certified psychiatrist and, as you know, know I specialize in high performance and, as you also know, I absolutely enjoy these conversations we have together and spending this time with you as we are on the journey together for living the best life ever.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: So today is slow down, sunday, here on the Sweet Spot, the day we don't just slow our steps, we slow our spirit.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: This isn't about quitting, it's about realigning with what matters, realigning with what's eternal and with the rhythm of something greater than ourselves.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, all week long we've been walking through the sacred power of silence.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Not silence as absence but as presence.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Not stillness as inaction but as intention.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And today, today, we rise into something larger.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Let's remember the constellation of insights we have touched all week.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Let's do a quick review on what we've gained this week from our interactions and our conversations on the power of silence.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Remember, on Monday we learned that every powerful move begins with stillness.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We started our week with a pause, reminding ourselves that power isn't in the noise, it's in the quiet courage to move with clarity.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday, we understood that silence can be strategy.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Not every action needs to be announced period.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let your results do the talking.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let your results do the talking On Wednesday.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: On Wednesday, we discovered that silence strengthens the mind.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: We trained our focus in stillness.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Win it all.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Wednesday, we said that win the game inside before you ever play one on the outside.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: What happened for us on Trust Yourself Thursday?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Well, we tuned in.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We remembered that our inner voice is the one we need most.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Trust, the wisdom that silence reveals.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Finished strong.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Friday, we closed the loop with quiet resolve.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: No drama, just follow through.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: We finish like the tide Steady.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: We finish like the tide steady, silent and unstoppable.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: No-transcript.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We allowed silence to restore us body and soul, reminding ourselves that stillness is strength and that rest is sacred.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And this brings us right here, right now, to Slow Down Sunday.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And you know, here, on the Sweet Spot, on Slow Down Sundays, we always delve into a little astrophysics.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not an astrophysicist.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I know just enough to be dangerous.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Today we're going to zoom out far beyond the stress and the schedules.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: We're going to look up, we're going to reflect, we're going to remember, because silence doesn't just live inside of us.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It fills the cosmos.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: That's the message I have for you here on Slow Down Sunday.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: That's the astrophysics message that silence fills the cosmos.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Astrophysics tells us that space is oh my gosh.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Space is oh my gosh vast and it is silent.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Galaxies drift wordlessly.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Galaxies don't speak.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Black holes one of the most powerful phenomena.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They consume things with no sound.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And yet from the silence stars are born.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Neil deGrasse Tyson, famous physicist, put it this way when I look up at the night sky and I know that I know that, yes, yes, I'm a part of this universe.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But perhaps more important than that, I understand that the universe is in me.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: That's what silence can show us that we are not just caught in the noise of the world, we are connected to the quiet rhythm of the stars themselves.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: How amazing is that?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And of course, you already know.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: The ancient wisdom is going to confirm what even the astrophysicists are saying.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: In Psalm 19, it says that the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Wow, the universe doesn't speak in words, it speaks in movement light, order, waves and awe.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: It's a silent sermon and it reminds us that we, we too, don't need to be loud to live with meaning.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You don't always have to post it, you don't always have to shout it, you don't always have to show it and you certainly don't always have to prove it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Just like the skies, you can proclaim truth in the way you show up, in how you align, in the peace that you carry, in the way that you sit in silence.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: That's what's possible.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what's possible.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So today, slow Down.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Sunday, I want you to find some stillness, find some stillness, find some stillness and tonight, if you live in a place where there are stars, go outside and look up, breathe, take a few minutes and see what the stars are telling you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You don't have stars.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Well, look at the sky and enjoy that Connect to your universe.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You know so many of us.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: We walk around all day long and we never look up, we never see the sky, we never connect to the universe, we never connect to the trees, we don't see anything because we're so busy going from point A to point B.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I speak for myself, but guess what?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You and I are in orbit with this earth and we are in the middle of something divine.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Silence isn't empty.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: It's where stars are born.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And you, my friend, you are a star.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Let your pause become your praise.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Today, you're not lost.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You're realigning.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Stillness is cosmic, rest is sacred, presence is power.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Let your breath be enough.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Stand still.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Stand now, doctor's orders, take a few minutes for you.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Let the sky preach peace to you today.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Look at something around you and look at it as if you're seeing it for the first time.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Something around you and look at it as if you're seeing it for the first time.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: The other day, I was walking through the house and I began to be in awareness and it dawned on me that I pass by things in my house every day that I pay zero attention to, until I become still and become more aware.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So, as this week closes, my friend, let silence linger, let stillness walk beside you, let your body slow, let your mind soften, let your spirit rise.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: These are health-giving things.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It will help your physiology, your heart rate, your blood pressure, your blood vessels.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, these things are important because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to just get still and be fully present and be fully here.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: You're part of the universe and the universe is in you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And in sacred silence you will find your rhythm again.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: You will find your healing in the stillness.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You will find the answers you're looking for in the stillness.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Until next week, my friend.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Love and blessings.
