Hit Pause Kit
I used to think I didn't have time to pause.
This kit emerged through my recovery from burnout.
I bet your nervous system is begging for a break too.
Even during my down time I kept busy.
Doing laundry, paying bills, scrolling for inspiration.
I learned the hard way that my body was keeping score.
I finally spent time doing nothing and somehow lighting incense made it feel okay.
Maybe you also need permission to just be – without producing anything.
Tune into the grounded version of yourself that's been patiently waiting underneath all your doing. The version that doesn’t snap at your kids and isn’t too tired to read the bedtime story.
Light an incense and sit in the quiet. If only for 5 minutes, your body will unwind.
Daily meditation feels like a long shot, but every guru started with five minutes. Before you know it you'll be chilling for the entirety of an incense stick burning.
Start with five minutes. Your nervous system will thank you.
Inside the kit:
- Four distinct incense blends by Sea of Roses (Ember, Kindling, Paper, Slate) — choose based on your mood
- Hand-thrown zebra pattern incense holder by Nightshift Ceramics — holds the ritual together
- Matches by Tortuga — sparks your pause
- Long overdue reconnection to yourself — priceless
