i am having trouble accessing the materials. Please help
Even here, in the new warmth as i am outside alounge in the front meadow with my dog who brings the frisbee and chases it: my body supine,, at rest , heart joyful, considering self relaxed and relieved. Then Pema signals Pause and by the mental busy-ness suddenly gone i notice it has been there. Suddenly i feel the dog, his personal energy in the rhythm of my grab and toss and his spin. Suddenly it is clear within, and tense in ways too. i notice that there are part- of me that have been involved in something else which now are back . The constant inner grind of anxiety is not there briefly which goes along with my demanding desire that the play have a certain result to benefit the pet. All that and everything else suddenly and completely blown away into not there. It’s absence is glorious tho.momentary, and going back to Pause SOM surprisingly easy.
Yes just this short pause invites peace, quiet and calm.
Thank you
Pausication…….Spacious……….abundant energy…….infinite and beyond…..transforming our stuckness,, our myopic focus……..to the awesome wonder of the aurora borealis……….streaming through…………our heartfelt vibrant white, green, and red presence against the obsidian sky!!!!
I’m headed out for a walk in the forest with my dog…. yes I will stop, breathe, pause and appreciate being where I am.
Thank you.

Changeless, timeless spaciousness. Always waiting for our pause. Seems to be the friendliest thing one could do.
Spacious limitless quality of our situation. Aaaaahhhhh
I found the presentation engaging.
It reminded me how close concentration is to relaxation.
When i find that the full course is closed,i can pause,and accept that it is always available…being enabled to question the truth behind my minds thinking,requires pause…dementia,is truly a gift!
Now,what was i thinking?
And,who is Pema?(who does she think ,she is?)
Its so easy… we just have to focus on the pause! Thank you for this reminder!
So important to take a breath and pause,so hard to do with a monkey mind,thank th oy Pema
Pause and breathe. The idea is very elementary and simple but the need to be reminded goes with the pacce of today’s life styles.
Pausing helps me stay in the moment.Its made such a difference for me.I am more relaxed,no longer suffer from anxiety..Its a better life for me using pause.
I always love hearing you speak, Pena! Have your voice in my mind often. SHEN (as in nutcase) PA. Whenever I am stuck, I pause and flood my mind with compassion for me and for everyone else whose mind is unfriendly.
Deep gratitude! Profound respect.
One of the many gifts of Recovery is the gift of taking the moment to pause, and step back from reacting. And I have also felt that a lot of Recovery literature is based on Eastern Teachings. However when I started studying with Pema, it brought it home, and really made sense in everyday life. Thank you!
