The Sacred Pause

About this episode

The Sacred Pause - When we are lost in the trance of doing, our lives are on automatic, and contracted by sense that something's wrong or missing. This talk explores the challenges of learning to pause, and the blessings that arise when we step out of our incessant mental and physical activity and reconnect with the being-qualities of presence, wisdom and love (a favorite from the archives).

"The deepest expression of love is this non-doing presence because that's when we are inhabiting who we really are."
