Surrender and savour the slow with this issue of Breathe. As winter’s cool air envelops you, adopt a pace less hurried. Weave wonders with cosy rituals, reimagine courage and put yourself first, and revel in doing ‘nothing’ with the Dutch art of niksen. Your inner voice is intuitive, wise and divine; pay attention to what it is telling you. With a touch of trust, you can succumb to the sweet bliss of stillness.
