Pause Practice

The PAUSE practice is a simple mindfulness tool that will help you take a few minutes out of your busy life to simply be. To take a PAUSE means to just sit (or stand) and take stock of what is going on inside of you and what is happening around you, of how the breath feels like in your body, what thoughts and emotions you are feeling in this moment and finally considering how to continue your day with more awareness and kindness.

Pause for Exam Anxiety

A meditation you can do as you are preparing for an exam or as you are about to go into it. It will help you calm down and remind you that the worry and anxiety are here right now, but you do not have to be completely taken over by them.

Just Sitting

This meditation is for people who have been meditating for a while. There will be some relative long pauses, which might be difficult for you if you are new to meditating. The purpose of this meditation is to remind ourselves about the simplicity of what meditation is really about; is to simply sit still and observe.
