Permission To Pause

As the teachings show us, for us to respond to suffering – our own, and that of others – it is essential that we consciously permit ourselves to pause, to temporarily take some sacred time to shore up our capacity for wisdom and compassion, so that we don’t allow what’s happening to harden our hearts. This pause is often called “sacred,” because when we allow ourselves to enter it, we become better able to not only see what is true, but what is needed.

Thank you so much. Your meditation talks are really helping me refinding my balance 🙏

Excellent 🌟 Thank you very much for sharing this.

Thank you for this talk, although thankfully the pandemic is not front and center, giving permission to pause is such a kind thought and often I overlook. Today I heeded to the calling!

Wonderful talk. I love the suggestion of taking a sacred pause. I will be mindful to include this often. Namaste.

Really clear and helpful, thank you 🙏

Thanks that was beautiful!

This was incredibly helpful to me. I think for too long I have associated calm with complacency. You give me a lot upon which to reflect.

That was so lovely, thank you.

Very much needed and helpful at this time. Thank you 🙏

As a crisis mental health clinician, many on my team feel that they have not been able to pause and catch their breath even as infection numbers rise again. I have been talking with them about the importance of a purposeful pause as key to their ongoing mental health as neccessary workers. I happened upon this teaching and feel so very blessed by the offering as it reminded me of my own need for the sacred pause incredibly beautifully. Namaste.

Thank you. A reminder to pause in this chaos and that "through the suffering there is awakening" if we allow ourselves to see it. You have started my day with a sense of peace and awareness. Namaste
