The beautiful pause
Today’s pace of life can feel maddening at times. The next phone call, the next event and the next email. It never seems to stop and at times it almost feels as though there’s never any space left for that very powerful PAUSE of life.
Pausing is about finiding in our own every day lives moments of stillness. A pause can be as simple as a breath, or even reaching a red light knowing that this actually may be a gift, not a burden.
Often times, we think the times in life that slow us down are negatives, but actually they can be the very gifts that life is giving us. It is within these moments of stillness, these pauses where true transformations occur.
These pauses, when practice daily, can lead to discoveries about ourselves, that we would not see otherwise, because our lives are spinning so fast.
When we begin to harvest these moments, we begin to change and understand that they are very pleasant. We begin to rely on them.
The more time you take to create these pauses the more we begin to discover things about our very true nature they gave us these moments of grace, this moment of stillness allowing us to create space and discover who we are and what we really want in life.
A Tea Ceremony is a beautiful example of the stillness.
The moment of magic where we watch the steam arise off the bowl of tea being poured, and realizing that this simplicity of water and leaves, shows us so much about life. Holding that warm bowl in your hand, and having nothing but silence, stillness and contemplation provides that space. It provides a greater understanding of our time, our nature and the nature of the world around us and how interconnected we all truly are.

That inner voice thanking you for the space time, and beautiful tea is where the magic is made.
I encourage us all to find more PAUSE.
