Episode 27: The Power of the Pause with Deirdre Wilcox
In this episode, Wynne Leon is with meditation and yoga teacher, and massage therapist, Deirdre Wilcox and they are talking about the power of the pause.
Deirdre talks about the pause she implements when we converse,
the moment to let a question sink in so that she can respond in a thoughtful way that is more in-line with her wise mind. We talk about how pauses can help us when our buttons are pushed so that we can work to build bridges instead of walls with the people we love. Or in the cases where building walls is the most appropriate course of action, that we do it intentionally.
Deirdre introduces us to the idea of interosception – the way
the mind perceives and gathers all the available input from the body – and how pauses to allow that to work to create freedom from our 1st level reactions into more accurate responses that are in-line with our deeper wisdom.
In this episode, we hear about the breath practices that help us
to align with small pauses. In the breath, we can find ways to notice all the pauses in life around us – in the ocean, the lunar cycle, the solstices and find a way to anchor our natural pauses.
At the end of our time together, Deirdre describes a few small
pauses she takes in a day to notice and remember what is around and how these short moments of mindfulness can help to slow our race through life and instead enjoy the here and now.
This is a great episode about using an extra beat to access better information, respond with more care, and pay closer attention. We know you’ll love it.
