The Space Between

3-1-3-1

Inhale 3… pause…1
Exhale 3… pause…1

Between movement and stillness, there is a moment.
A breath not taken, but held.

This space — the one between inhale and exhale — is a gateway.
A threshold where your nervous system checks: Am I safe?

When we pause here gently, with curiosity and kindness, we activate the vagal brake — a built-in mechanism of the parasympathetic nervous system that says:
It’s okay to slow down.

These soft pauses signal to your body that you are not running.
Not hiding.
Not fighting.

You are here.
And here is enough.
