I often bookend my day with the live virtual meditations since it gives my day structure and intention. I look forward to seeing my online community of friends who I have developed a true bond with. Every now and then, I just need a grounding, so I love being able to go to the On-Demand library of themed meditations which helps bring me comfort. It is a tremendous resource that I am thankful to have as part of the Pause membership!” Cindy M. “To say that practicing with this community has been helpful is a gross understatement. As I think back, I joined only with the expectation that I knew that meditation would be helpful to me. I had no idea that the power of community meditation even existed - and to watch that awareness grow has been such a rich experience for me. And in the last few months I've paid particular attention to those first ten minutes, knowing that there are life lessons for me to learn and be reminded of. So... thank you all - for your talent, your time, your kindness, and your candor - as well as your sense of humor! You have created such a special experience and community, and I'm honored to be part of it.” Lynn S. “While I have meditated on and off for years, your leadership and group meditations led by your gifted teachers has been way more powerful for me than any single meditation I’ve done alone. What truly speaks to me are the topics you introduce during the first 10 minutes which provides a real connection to what I’m experiencing and the clutter in my mind or heart. This singular focus has guided my stillness in a whole new way. I’m deeply grateful for this journey. I’m becoming way more conscious, aware, and still.” Nancy F.
