That’s when I need to be still.  PAUSE… So I take a deep breath, And fight the loud voice, That says I have too much to do.  You don’t have time, To go in your cave, But deep down I know that’s not true.  PAUSE… So I ask for some help, From others who’ll hold, My responsibilities for just a bit.  I free myself up, And shut down the screens, And eventually, I finally sit.  LONG PAUSE… In my cave I hear, The echoes of screams, That want me to do what they say. But each breath I take, Quiets them down, And soon, they’ve drifted away.  PAUSE… Slowing, slowing, slowing down, Each breath fills me more.  Calming, calming, calming down, I can feel my soul restore.  LONG PAUSE… Here in my cave, The pace of my life, Slows till it comes to a halt. It’s then that I see, That the racing is fake, This stress is all in our thoughts. PAUSE… So stillness I seek, Through breath I sink in, And let go of all that is here. My cave strips away, All that is loud, And finally, I am clear.  PAUSE… Slowing, slowing, slowing down, Each breath fills me more.  Calming, calming, calming down, I can feel my soul restore.  Namaste, Beautiful  💗💗💗 Check out all the deals from our incredible sponsors here! --> https://womensmeditationnetwork.com/sponsors   💗💗💗 Check out all of our other podcasts at https://womensmeditationnetwork.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
