The Power in Pause.

There is much power in Pause. Instead of battling circumstances, others, and even yourself, you can use the same energy to calm down, create an inner pause and find peace. We must understand that these circumstances that rub us the wrong way are just other forms of energy. We fight the energies out of defense. The energies also need to defend themselves, so the more we fight them, the more they will fight back, for the same reason we do – out of simple defense. Life shouldn't be a battle. By learning to master the power of pause, it can be full of ease, beauty and joy.

Peace can only be found through a pause. Peace will not be within reach, until we can mindfully reach a pause, in order to find the serenity of our own inner being.

The first step would be to collect all of our fragmented selves. Within each of us, there are several layers of bodies: the physical body, the mental body, the emotional body, the intellectual body, the spiritual body, ect. We are only able to become aware of our deepest, intuitive self when we are fully relaxed. This awareness and mindfullness through relaxation, is the gateway to the higher realms.

A single moment of true pause will help you to relax and also to become closer to who you truly are. Experiment with it and you will begin to feel your deeper presence. The past and future will dissipate, leaving only the present moment. Presence only occurs when we are completely mindful. When we are able to detach ourselves from the past and the future, what remains is the present – the only tense that truly exists. And when we are fully in the present, the ambience of the deepest self comes alive. The deepest self is the body where the beauty and goodness of our soul reside. And when we can reach this realm, that beauty and goodness will permeate our conscious with utter joy.

Take a journey through your own body. It will help you to relax, appreciate and to experience the body's subtle wonders. In your every cell, lies Infinite intelligence, power, and energy. But to accees these gifts, your body needs your loving attention. Begin a new, ongoing relationship of discovery with your body. Try relaxing by listening to some soothing, melodic music and take this inward journey, regularly. Begin by imagining that you're a point of focus at the center of the universe and that your physical body is the periphery. Simply watch from the inside out. Let your mind talk to your body and let your body talk to your mind. Tell your mind that it is a time to relax, to simply be, to let go of all activity.

Begin at the top of the head, the crown chakra. Just bring your mind to the center of your head, then to the crown. See your skull through the window of your mindfulness. Allow relaxation to take over your skull. Now, bring your mind to your forehead. Stretch, then relax the muscles in your forehead. Next become aware of your eyes. As you experience the energy of your eyes, express your gratitude towards the universe for the abundant forms of creation that you have been blessed to see. As you turn your mind and attention to each fragment of your body, allow whatever is material to melt into non-material, and the physical to melt into energy that is non-physical. Mindfulness is a light, the light of consciousness. As you allow your consciousness to touch any part of your body, the poisons begin to leave. Wherever the light of awareness reaches, no toxin can survive. Toxins have to die away and create space for the universal energies to diffuse.
