Mini Mindful Pause

This is a short guided mindfulness exercise designed to help you pause and slow down. The focus is on just pausing, being, and allowing things to be just as they are. Great for in-between meetings or just for when you want to slow down and re-connect with yourself.

Transcript

Okay,

Let's just take a little break and slow things right down.

So when you're ready,

Coming into stillness,

And just pausing.

You don't need to do anything,

You don't need to change the way you're feeling.

All you need to do is pause.

Whatever you're feeling right now,

Whatever you're experiencing,

Whether it's pleasant or unpleasant,

It doesn't matter.

Everything is welcome in this space,

And all you need to do is just be here.

And of course the mind might be quite busy,

Or maybe there's a lot of energy or emotion in the body,

And that's absolutely fine.

You don't need to change anything.

It's enough just to be here.

It's enough just to exist.

And that's it.

That's the end of our pause together.

So if you find that helpful,

Maybe every so often for the rest of the day,

Just taking a few moments to pause,

Even a few seconds.

Or of course you're always welcome to return to this recording.

But for now,

Thank you for pausing with me today,

And I wish you well.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you! A lovely guided pause. Thank you for allowing for space and quiet in your recording, as well as meaningful guidance.

Great, simple and clear instructions to pause and settle into present moment

Good job! Better than I expected, as some meditations seem to promise a lot but fall short for me. Actually all IST meds are quite good. It's just that some don't fit my situation at the time. But this has..things are tipsy survey here with all of us scared about our sister facing uncertainty due to a medical worry. Anyway, this was very helpful. I relaxed and paused and will try to do others times during the day as Neil suggests. Namaste..

Your words to notice whatever our feelings in this moment are brought to mind Rumi”s poem, “The Guest House”!

Just right for those moments when we need a short pause without judgement. Thank you!
