Why 'Slow Reading' Is the New Self-Care — Especially with Craft-Filled Magazines Like Kriti

In recent months, the term ‘Slow Reading’ has quietly emerged across creative circles — from book clubs in Kyoto to digital retreats in New York. But what does it mean?

It isn’t about finishing fewer books. It’s about re-learning how to read with presence. And that’s where magazines like Kriti offer a unique invitation.

When you open an issue of Kriti, you’re not skimming headlines. You’re entering a space woven with the same care as the textiles we write about. Each article is a hand-loomed sentence. Each visual, an artisanal thread. It is not made for scrolling. It is made for staying.

Slow reading is becoming a global response to content fatigue.We are surrounded by screens, pings, feeds. In contrast, a quiet magazine read becomes a pause. A grounding.

It is a form of self-care — not just for your mind, but for your attention span.You read slower. You reflect longer. You retain more. And just like the crafts we feature — each article carries layers. Of history, place, and touch.

Here’s how readers are now making a ritual out of it:

• Reading Kriti in the early mornings, before the phone lights up

• Pairing one story with one cup of tea, like a mindful pairing

• Keeping a reading journal for notes, thoughts, and textile memories

• Sharing one line that moved them — not for engagement, but for connection

  
  

In a time where everything asks for your click, let some things ask for your care.

Let Kriti be your entry into slow reading. Let every page be an artisan’s breath, translated.
