Finding the Infinite in the Pause between Inbreath and Outbreath
From the Radiance Sutra: "In any quiet moment when you are breathing, the breath may flow out and pause of itself… Here, in the pause, experience opens into exquisite vastness, with no beginning and no end."
This guided meditation focusing on finding stillness and presence in the pauses between breaths.
The pause is a doorway to infinite possibility—a sanctuary within where we can pray, heal, and find refuge even when the world is shaking.
We find a state of presence - a timeless state of being that exists between fullness and emptiness, between what is and what isn't.
Key Practice: Using the natural pauses after inhalation and exhalation as thresholds into the "field of all possibilities." In this space, we leave behind thoughts, needs, and worries, entering a sanctuary where love is the fundamental energy and where all healing and renewal occurs.
