We can get so caught up in the hurry and flurry of life. This practice invites you to pause, to take an intentional breath, to drop into your center and find your grounded, radiant self. Listen to your spirit. It is wise beyond measure.

Hey there.

Welcome to a hit of hope.

How are you?

I mean that,

How are you?

Life,

Am I right?

So,

This meditation is when your spirit is begging you to pause,

To center,

To breathe.

Our heads can get all whirled up with the world.

And our spirits can feel so heavy and afraid,

Full of despair and uncertainty.

When your spirit is begging you to pause,

Please listen and breathe.

When your spirit begs you to pause,

Follow the breath in and do this as often as you need.

Because your spirit,

That's what brings you life.

So,

Listen when it is begging you to pause and take care as you live light.

Surprisingly effective for such a short practice. I listened to this immediately after a difficult and heavy conversation and it helped me to come back to my own energy and feel I had done a small thing to take care of myself. I'll enjoy exploring your other meditations. πŸ™

Wise words. To just sit and breathe for a few moments is a very powerful tool. A tool I use everyday. πŸ™

Hi Betsy! It's good to hear you recording again. Yes, pausing to breathe is a necessity. Especially during difficult time and even in the best of times. Pause. Breathe. Be.

Sit. Breathe. So wonderfully simple, yet I often resist. But you remind me what’s most important- to surrender myself to my true nature without all the noise. ❀️
