The Sacred Pause - Tara Brach

The Sacred Pause - Tara Brach [2024-12-27]
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 step out of our incessant mental and physical activity and reconnect with the being-qualities of presence, wisdom and love.

This really hit home. After a serious medical issue this summer I am learning how to Allow and let go. I always just rushed back to work not thinking of my health but I am now pausing and it's ok❤

Now we will count to twelve
and let’s keep quiet.
For once on earth
let’s not talk in any language; let’s stop for one second,
and not move our arms so much.
A moment like that would smell sweet, no hurry, no engines,
all of us at the same time
in need of rest.
Fishermen in the cold sea would stop harming whales and the gatherer of salt would look at his hurt hands.
Those who prepare green wars, wars with gas, wars with fire, victories with no survivors, would put on clean clothes
and go for a walk with their brothers out in the shade, doing nothing.
Just don’t confuse what I want with total inaction;
it’s life and life only;
I’m not talking about death.
If we weren’t so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving
and could maybe do nothing for once
a huge silence might interrupt this sadness of never understanding ourselves,
of threatening ourselves with death; perhaps the earth could teach us; everything would seem dead
and then be alive.
Now I will count up to twelve and you keep quiet
and I will go….

Thank you for this precious moments of pauses.

[@nikidegraaff5031]

This resonated so deeply.
Understanding this in the core of my being.
I didn't have any new years resolution but a few things I wanted to change but couldn't figure out how to do this.
I realised to take a pause to make space for everything I want to move forward to, to create space for all that I love but seem to forget sometimes.
