Pause between the breath

From the Radiance Sutras comes this beautiful guidance:

"In any quiet moment, when you are breathing, the breath may flow out and pause of itself. Or flow in and pause of itself. Here, experience opens into exquisite vastness with no beginning and no end. Dive into it. Drink deeply and emerge renewed."

Simple Practice Steps

Ground through touch - Feel your body's contact points
Focus on breath at nostrils - Notice temperature differences
Find natural pauses after inhale and exhale
Gently extend the pause - let it deepen naturally
Enter the stillness - your gateway to infinite peace
That pause is the gateway to stillness. Dive into it.

The Healing

Every moment becomes new—new breath, new beginning. Notice how staying longer in the pause influences your body. Maybe you hear your heartbeat or feel sensations you couldn't notice during the in-and-out flow. This sharpens your ability to sense the body.

Breathe in—pause. Enter that space. Breathe out—pause. Gateway into stillness.

Feel deeply its influence. Deep, deep healing happens in this state.

Creating Peace

This is the peace we long for, and here it is—immediate. We can create it by entering the pause between breaths.

When the world feels chaotic, this simple return to the space between inhale and exhale becomes our sanctuary. The stillness isn't separate from us—it's always here, waiting.

Each time we enter the pause, we heal not only ourselves but contribute to the collective healing our world needs.

May all beings enjoy healing of their body, mind, and nervous system. May this work bring peace to your heart and benefit everyone around you.

Namaste.

This practice can be done anywhere, anytime you need to return your nervous system to calm and create an oasis of peace within any storm
