I think by preceding the longer, crescendo sentence with the shorter, restful sentences.

Personally, I re-read everything I write. But only after I'm done writing it. If I make any edits along the way, then I start over. That way my pauses in reading aren't false pauses caused by the edits, and I read the content as the reader will, and hopefully I "feel" the pace of the writing that I was hoping to achieve.

(Do you see what I did there?)

Yes, I see what you mean, I will try this in my writing. I think it will take a bit of practice but will be worth it. Thanks
