About this listen

The hamster wheel of modern life leaves little room for deeper awareness. But what if spiritual awakening doesn't require tragedy, finding a guru, or abandoning your daily routines? What if it simply begins with a pause?

This episode explores the profound concept of the "holy pause" – that magical moment when we intentionally slow down the karma of body, mind, and world. When we're constantly busy with work, family, money-making, and digital distractions, the deeper dimensions of our being remain hidden. Yet through deliberate pausing, we create space for spiritual unfolding to naturally occur.

Rather than viewing spirituality as separate from modern living, we discover how these dimensions can beautifully complement each other. The episode offers three powerful, practical techniques for creating holy pauses throughout your day: returning to sensory awareness, closing your eyes to access inner vastness, and asking yourself profound existential questions. These simple practices bring you immediately into presence and open doorways to deeper consciousness.

Spiritual traditions worldwide recognize our need for rhythmic breaks from ordinary awareness – whether through Sabbath observance, meditation retreats, or community practice. When we regularly step off life's hamster wheel, even briefly, transformation begins. The stillness, stability, authentic happiness and inner peace we seek become increasingly available, not just during our pauses but throughout our everyday experiences.

Ready to discover what lies beyond constant busyness? Join us for this transformative exploration and let this podcast become one of your regular holy pauses – a gateway to spiritual awakening in the midst of modern life.
