Pause Meditation

Pause Meditation Mindfulness for community and growth Our mission is simple. We're inviting people to pause. Pausing is more than slowing down. Our Vision:
1.

It's making space for the things that matter. It's discovering our passions, respecting our minds and creating a life that is intentional, balanced, and well-lived. We're on a journey–exploring the power of mindfulness and meditation in our lives every day– and frankly, we're pumped to share it. Make space for meaningful content in our every day experience
2. Offer meditation and mindfulness in a wide variety of settings
3. Share teachings in a secular manner, accessible to everyone
4. Engage people with all levels of experience
5. Create opportunities for community, collaboration and support
6. Model mindfulness as a way of life
7. Don't take ourselves too seriously

Rediscover Magic Through Play

There’s something inherently magical about play—it connects us to our creativity, spontaneity, and joy.

This week, practice pausing to inject small moments of playfulness into your daily routine. This could be dancing while waiting for your food to heat up, making funny faces in the mirror, doodling during a break, or playfully rearranging items on your desk.

Notice how these brief interludes into play can create magic by lightening your mood and reconnecting you with a sense of childlike wonder.

Awaken Magic Through Gratitude

Gratitude has an almost magical ability to transform our entire perspective on life.

This week, practice pausing to let gratitude work its magic throughout your day. When you encounter something beautiful, helpful, or surprising, take a moment to pause and silently say, “Thank you for this gift.” This could be appreciating a stranger’s kindness, marveling at technology that connects you with loved ones, or simply feeling grateful for a cozy bed at the end of the day.

You can extend thanks to seemingly ordinary gifts as well, e.g. “Thank you toothbrush”, “Thank you person who takes our garbage”, “Thank you slippers”. Notice how this practice of grateful appreciation can amplify joy and create a sense of abundance that ripples out into your whole life.

Open to Infinite Possibility

Magic often hides in the space between what is and what could be.

This week, when you encounter a challenge or feel stuck in routine, pause and ask yourself, “What if something wonderful could happen here?” Let your imagination explore possibilities without immediately dismissing them. Whether you’re problem-solving at work or planning your weekend, take a moment to wonder about unexpected opportunities or delightful surprises that could unfold.

Notice how opening to possibility can shift your energy and invite more magic into your experience.

Find Magic in Small Moments

Magic often reveals itself in the seemingly insignificant moments that we usually rush past.

This week, practice pausing to discover the extraordinary within the ordinary. When you’re waiting in line, washing dishes, or walking to your car, take a moment to notice something that catches your eye—the way light filters through a window, the sound of laughter, or the feeling of your breath moving through your body. Allow yourself to be genuinely curious about these small details.

Notice how this practice of mindful attention can transform routine moments into something surprisingly magical and wondrous!

Express Detailed Appreciation

Appreciating others and their efforts is a form of kindness that costs nothing but means everything.

This week, practice pausing to express specific appreciation to people in your life. Instead of generic “thank you,”
share what you noticed and how it affected you. Try “I noticed how patient you were with our daughter this morning and it made my day brighter.” Make your gratitude specific and heartfelt.

Notice how expressing detailed appreciation affects both you and the recipients of your kind words.
