when life makes you Pause
Robin, this is what your pause did for me
Robin, I want to start with you. You built a space where we get to stop, breathe and come back to ourselves, and you don't just teach the pause, you live it. Sleeping in the jungle with all the creatures, going to the waterfall with no phone, showing up every Monday for all of us. That's why this group feels so different to me. Nobody in here is pretending, and in a world where awakening has turned into something to sell, that means everything.
You asked me what made me pause and get involved in the Out of the Darkness walk for Suicide prevention, It was the hurricane.
The winds really started whipping around 2 or 3 that Friday afternoon. Then around midnight I opened the front door and went outside and it was so calm. Complete peace and utter tranquility right in the middle of the storm. We were in the eye. And then of course it came right back.
The aftermath stirred up everything. There was literal debris, trees and limbs and leaves everywhere, and debris in my energy field too. I didn't know if the house was safe, I didn't know if the dogs were safe, and I lost food. I always knew my story was important, but that storm brought it all up to the surface.
When I think back to standing outside in that eye, that's exactly what you teach in here. You said the purpose of the pause is to interrupt, that it creates space between who we've been and who we might become. That's what the eye of the storm was for me. Everything was still swirling all around, and right in the center there was this calm where I could actually hear myself.
So many people are living in their storm right now and can't find the eye. That's why I walked. And that's why this group is so important, because every one of us in here is learning how to find that calm place on purpose, one pause at a time.
Thank you for creating this, Robin, and thank you to everyone in here for being so real.
Here's my blog from the walk, with the hugs, the beads and the whole story:
When was the last time you found the eye of your storm?

Press the Pause. Step out of autopilot, reconnect with yourself. You don't need to become more. You need to pause long enough to remember who you are.
