Finding the Pause: How the Space Between Thoughts Leads to Inner Peace

In today’s episode, Louise and I explore the concept of “the gap” — that space between and behind thoughts, where time seems to slow down, and we get a sense of who we are beyond the mind’s constant chatter. This pause is more than stillness; it’s a doorway into something deeper, a way to access the universal Self. We talk about how the gap has appeared in our lives, share some of our struggles with finding it, and how it’s become a valuable tool for experiencing more presence and calm. We’ll guide you through a meditation so you can experience it for yourself and share tips on cultivating more of these moments daily, whether you’re meditating, spending time in nature, or simply focusing on your breath.
