A Peaceful Pause is one of my regular monthly offerings for my closed Substack community, along with The Reset. Each month A Peaceful Pause features a guided audio practice from me. If you’re currently a free subscriber, upgrading your subscription will give you access to all my new meditation and yoga practices here as well as my growing archive of all posts.


Slow Living in the Big City with Paula Hines is a reader-supported publication. Free subscribers receive two posts per month. Paid subscribers currently receive five posts per month including two recorded practices from me (yoga and meditation), as well as full access to my growing archive from just £1 per week, and through September you’ll receive some extra bits here from me too. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

To complement the September Savasana Series, this month’s edition of A Peaceful Pause is a guided systematic relaxation with breath awareness. 

A few ways you might like to use this guided relaxation:

  • To accompany your savasana

  • As part of your sleep preparation, to help guide you to into restful sleep

  • As a peaceful time-out during your day

This is based on a body scan practice which can be found in my book, Rest + Calm. If you like this, then you may wish to check out the audiobook, read by me, on Audible here.

If you’ve been enjoying my offerings here on Substack and have people in your life who you think might enjoy them too, then I’d be hugely grateful if you would spread the word by sharing Slow Living in the Big City with them.
