Julie, this exploration of Pause is beautiful! The space between breaths, between heartbeats. When I superimpose the torus on it (which I do on everything these days), the pause is the moment between inner and outer, between past and future, between known and unknown. It holds both as it holds us. I love this so much! Thank you! And thank you for the wonderful meditation. I will be returning to that one again. 🤗💖
Thanks Jenna. YES that pause is the liminal space. I can relate about what you do with the Torus, for I do this with the Vesica Piscis. An inclusivity where both the opposites touch and merge at that overlap to create and birth something new. So much magic in that pause. Hoping and wishing you many pauses!
Thank you Julie for this post...While you are going into Winter, we are going into Summer, and yet, due to the heat, I want to go "Wintering"...I wish to go within. There is a RESTING time in this season, as the animal body within me wishes to stay cool, stay out of the heat...Ahhh, there is a resting time in every season, isn't there?!
I also really enjoyed listening to your meditation, and how you kept repeating the word "resting" and how that kept reminding me to a) be PRESENT b) to know that even when the Summer Sun invites one to be "out there" (as in the opposite to Winter) it is important to honour the need to REST in that time of year too.
Sam, I love that you bring the RESTING into the season of summer. The invitation to rest, pause, slow down, is truly always with us. Winter though does seem to be the season that shows us more than any other time how nature pauses and hibernates. In a way it is in our face. If we did not see it before, well here IT is now. Yet as you say, the pausing and resting are with us all the time, even in the season of summer that calls us to be more expressive. In the summer I find it in the dusk of the evening, the respite from the heat and the joy of simply seeing the beauty of life's creativity in its fullest manifestation. Especially in the garden, there is a lot of pausing in the garden! Love to you Sam!

Beautiful Julie and so much depth. Much to allow to marinate and just sit with. Love the meditation as well! Blessings to you ❤️
