Willing Breath

Key to applying PAUSE in daily life is WILLINGNESS!

What Is It To Be Willing? Say “YES”.

Saying, “Yes” ~ I will give my mind a rest.

Saying, “Yes” ~ I will step off my merry-go-round.

Saying, “Yes” ~ I will push the Pause button on my thought treadmill.

Saying, “Yes” ~ I will open my heart a smidgeon.

Saying, “Yes” ~ I will breathe breath into my body.

Willing Breath Practice

Between each statement of willingness, inhale through your nose followed by a longer exhale through your mouth:

I am willing to let my mind slow down in this moment.
   inhale ~ nose
  longer exhale ~ mouth

I am willing to allow room for a Truly Helpful Way.
   inhale ~ nose 
   longer exhale ~ mouth 

I am willing to receive Wisdom’s Peace, Calm, and Help.
   inhale ~ nose 
  longer exhale ~ mouth 

I am willing to listen to this inner Help I have received and follow its way.
  inhale ~ nose 
   longer exhale ~ mouth

~ pause & acknowledge your willingness to practice
