What does it take to explore the Shared Pause?

This is something you do with another person, or a group of people.It is not complicated. But it requires that all participants agree to the goal, as opposed to hoping it will happen spontaneously.

All it takes is common intention to stay mindfully connected inside and with each other.This means that each of you pays attention to your experience, and mindfully shares it with others.

You may start with the following words: We pause together. We sense into what is. We stay with it. We share our experience. We use words, knowing that words cannot fully capture the experience. They are gateways to it, a way to process the experience and to help each other share it.
