The Pause You Didn't Know You Needed

You did not plan to be here. Maybe you were between one thing and the next, and something in you said to stop for a moment. Trust that voice. No special posture, no closed eyes required, just a few minutes that belong to no one. Sometimes we do not know how tightly we are holding until we stop. Whatever comes next in your day will receive a softer version of you.

You did not plan to be here. Maybe you were between one thing and the next. And something in you said. Stop for a moment. Trust that voice. It knows something the schedule does not. You do not have to close your eyes or sit a special way. Just let your shoulders drop. Let your jaw soften. And let the next few minutes belong to no one. Take one breath that is only yours. Um. . . And slowly out. Notice how the body answers. Like it was waiting for permission. Sometimes we do not know how tightly we are holding until we stop. There is no need to name what you are carrying. Just feel the difference as it loosens. I did not know how much I needed this. Repeat quietly in your own time. Stopping is also a way of taking care of things. Let one breath arrive. And let one breath leave. Whatever comes next in your day. It will receive a softer version of you. When you return. Go slowly for the first minute. The pause continues inside the next thing you do. Namaste. This was Meditay. Come back whenever you need to.
