The Sacred Pause. That moment where we slow down and collect ourselves, letting what's false fall away and what is real and true to remain. The Sacred Pause may happen intentionally, like taking a deep breath between ending your workday and making dinner. Or it may be forced upon you, through things such as an illness, or a loss. In this episode, Mary shares four ways you can practice taking the Sacred Pause in your everyday, making the pauses that naturally happen in life feel more fertile, more enjoyable, and more easy to embrace.

 The day after the debate, I received a 5 minute voice note from a dear friend titled “A Request for Allyship.”  It was extremely moving and powerful. So moving, I asked my friend if I could share it with you, to which she agreed. 

I was going to say this message spurred me into action, but spurred isn’t the right word.  It called and inspired me into our mutual liberation.  I’m honored and grateful to share it with you today. www.schooolofsensualliving.com/blog/13
