One of the things our clients LOVE about is the tools we share about how to find calm when life feels overwhelming and stressful.

One of our MOST popular tools are co-founder ‘s MODERN MANTRAS which are “words or phrases that free the mind from chaotic or negative thought.” For many of our clients, these sayings come in very handy whenever their mind starts to spiral downward.

Enjoy Cheryl’s Modern Mantras above ⬆️and let us know in the comments below ⬇️which one resonates most with you!

To learn more about mindfulness, meditation, or how helpful Modern Mantras can be, please join our next session of our six-week HYBRID Diving Deeper Series that starts one week from today, Wednesday, March 25th at 1:15 PM ET.

There are three great ways to participate in our SPRING DIVING DEEPER series:

Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem in your meditation class earlier this week.

A great reminder to simply take in and notice all the ordinary, mundane moments happening right now, TODAY, in your life. Mindfulness reminds us that there is so much beauty right in front of us to appreciate and savor. Our warm homes, a hot cup of coffee, the snow outside….we don’t know what the next day, week or months have in store for us, so it can be helpful to PAUSE and appreciate the here and now.

Drop in the comments below what ordinary things you notice right now that you can appreciate and savor!

Last night we celebrated 2025 and welcomed 2026 with our AMAZING Pause to be Present Teaching Team - , , . We missed and (feel better)! We are SO grateful for these amazing humans who offer their wisdom, time, and hearts to our incredible community.

And we kicked off 2026 with our first Diving Deeper Series of the year with 20 amazing students from all over the country, from California, to Chicago, to Washington DC, and many joining us in person ! For the next 6 weeks, we will gather to explore the incredible teachings of the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path and how to integrate these teachings into our stressful and often chaotic modern lives. These centuries-old practices can truly help us live healthier, happier lives! The Noble Eightfold Path is a practical guide to living a life of peace, compassion and wisdom. And, it is always amazing to learn and grow together with this beautiful community.🙏🏻

After many years of practice, we know that the best gifts you can give yourself and the world in 2026 are a regulated & healthy nervous system (and tools to manage the stress of modern life), the skill to choose how you want to respond to life, and the ability to cultivate calm, compassion, kindness, and joy each and every day! We help people do just that!

We hope you will join us in 2026! Give yourself the gift of calm, a healthy nervous system, and more laughter, love and learning in the new year! Check out all of our 2026 offerings on our website site - link in bio. 🙏🏻

Our Story - Pause

Mindfulness has made such an impact in our lives – so much so that we wanted to share this transformative practice with as many people as possible! It has helped us in our relationships, parenting, business and most importantly, with ourselves and how we choose to live our lives. We have seen an incredible group of like-minded people connect through this practice and are thrilled to create a dedicated space for this growing community to gather and pause together.

At Pause, we have created a space where you can take time out of your busy life to simply “be”… a place where you can find a more peaceful, joy-filled, healthier way of living through the powerful practice of Mindfulness.

Mindfulness works. It can change your life. Our goal is to share with you ways to be truly present and awake for your life. With over a decade of experience teaching, we have found easy and accessible ways to bring these ancient practices into our modern lives to help people not only cope but thrive!

We invite you to join us on this journey! You deserve it, your family deserves it and the world deserves to have the real you (the calm, peaceful, joyful one) truly present in it!
