Pause,
The silences in between.
And so with this episode I want to begin not with words but with breath.
So wherever you are,
Gently inhale,
Hold your breath,
And exhale.
And again,
Inhale,
Hold it,
And exhale through the mouth.
Because this episode is about what happens between the noise,
Between the sharing,
Between the podcast uploads,
The newsletters,
And the teachings.
It is about the silences.
Before the last couple of posts in Sacred Spaces,
The last podcast that I had released was in April,
Almost two months ago.
And just for a moment I felt that familiar pull,
The temptation to explain,
To say,
Sorry I've been away,
Or life got busy,
Or I've been meaning to come back.
But none of that is true.
The truth is this,
I have not been absent,
I have been listening and living in the silences in between.
You see I've come to understand that we live in a world that feels silence.
Everyone rushes to fill every gap.
We confuse constant output with purpose.
But when we connect with Spirit,
She speaks in stillness.
She shapes us in the quiet,
Not for performance but for presence.
The Sacred Pause is not a gap in content.
It is a season of integration.
It is where the soul gestates truth,
Not for publication but for coherence.
And for me,
This Sacred Pause was not empty,
And it never has been in hindsight and retrospect.
These Sacred Pauses were full and have been full.
Full of downloads,
Full of quiet revelations,
Full of the invisible work of directing the descent of the Divine Feminine,
Full renovation that could not be done in public.
These past weeks have not have been about absence,
They've been about alignment.
There's something though that I need to name honestly.
The ego me,
The part conditioned by external expectations,
Would have been flagellating me for not being visible enough,
Not posting enough,
Not being consistent.
That voice would start obsessing over who unsubscribed from the email list,
Who didn't engage,
What people might be saying about my absence,
What they were thinking of me.
But here's what I've learned,
What I lived in the Sacred Pause.
It's more important for me to be consistent with my own truth than with other people's expectations of productivity.
My learning,
My becoming,
My unveiling,
These matter more than performance.
I've given myself permission to choose integrity over illusion and I hope you do too,
Because true consistency is the consistency of being in alignment with your soul.
Not how often you show up for the world,
But how honestly you show up for yourself.
One of the deepest lessons that revealed itself during my descent in the yogi journey was this exact shift in consciousness.
Consistency is not about frequency,
It is about fidelity.
Fidelity to your essence,
To your becoming,
And to your voice.
This is one of the hidden treasures of the Sacred Pause,
That when life challenges us we are gifted a window to realign and recalibrate back to truth.
And so no,
I haven't been away,
I've been journeying.
There were days when I was too full to speak and others where I was too empty to form a sentence.
But in both places I do know for sure that Spirit was with me.
And she said,
This too is work.
So if you've been in your own pause,
If the world told you you were behind,
Or invisible,
Or inconsistent,
Let me speak this blessing into you now.
You are not behind,
You are becoming.
You are not silent,
You are listening.
You are not lost,
You are deepening.
The Sacred Pause is not an interruption of your journey,
It is the journey.
Thank you for meeting me here,
In this space between words,
In this temple of breath,
Of silence,
And of truth.
And until next time,
May you trust the silence as much as the sound.
Blessings to you on every day of your spiritual journey.
Namaste.
