OVERVIEW
In my 30 years of working with students around the world, there’s never been a time with more outer and inner turmoil. Most of us are living our lives on high alert. Our days are a series of reactions to whatever is happening around us in each moment—unrelenting urgent texts, arguments with loved ones, unexpected illnesses or pain, breaking news notifications. Is there more to life than the stress and overwhelm we feel much of the time?
Pausing not only sets the conditions for expanding our perspectives and allowing us to respond intentionally rather than react, but it also forms the foundation for deep relaxation—an essential tool for regulating our nervous system and for interrupting the long-held narratives and patterns that keep us stuck in habitual behaviors.
In today’s challenging and divisive world, THE POWER OF THE PAUSE offers a vital tool—validated by groundbreaking research in neuroscience and psychology and drawing from the ancient traditions of Buddhism and yoga—for making intentional choices, and relating to ourselves and each other with presence and care.
In just a minute and a half, we can train ourselves to respond to life’s difficulties with greater calm and clarity, while also opening us to receive and appreciate the beauty and joy that coexist with hardship.
