PAUSE...

"…There is a deep prayer, the prayer of what was traditionally called "perfect union with God," going on inside each of us every moment. Learning to meditate is learning to slow down long enough to locate and take part in what is already happening." -George Fowler

The idea of meditating is often daunting…and there are a lot of methods out there to introduce one to the practice of meditation (but that's for another time)…For today, just think of it as hitting the PAUSE button…you are slowing down just long enough to notice something that is already happening

Go about the busy-ness of your day…and every now and then just hit PAUSE…(you can even set an alarm on your phone to help you if you tend to get wrapped up very easily)…PAUSE...how are you feeling? are you breathing fully? what does everything feel like in this exact moment? You've seen it in the movies so many times…time stops for just a moment and a single person looks around and seems to notice all sorts of things…a moment of true clarity. 

What a beautiful gift…and you can do it that simply…PAUSE…Take part in what is already happening deep inside yourself…Enjoy!
