In this mindful moment, Holly Zajur shares a guided mindfulness-based meditation called "the pause," drawing inspiration from Katie Silcox's teachings in episode 52 and her forthcoming book, "Glow Worthy: Practices for Awakening Your Inner Light and Loving Yourself As You Are-- Broken, Beautiful, and Sacred."

This transformative meditation practice, rooted in "The Holy Pause" from Katie's book and Tara Brach's "Sacred Pause," emphasizes the importance of mindfulness's two wings: awareness and compassion. Join Holly as she guides you through this powerful practice, enabling you to create a conscious space to respond rather than react when faced with triggering situations.

Whether you seek better emotional control or enhanced decision-making skills, this practice is applicable to everyday moments. It's recommended to initially practice in a controlled setting to reinforce the benefits and later incorporate them into your daily life.

Take a deep breath as we embark on this journey together with the How the Wise One Grows podcast community.
