Pause Is Practice. A Sticky Solar Plexus Chakra

In this special return episode of Hurry Up and Meditate, host Catie Weber explores the powerful truth that pause is practice. After a year-long hiatus, Catie reflects on what it means to stop, soften, and listen—both on and off the mat—and how an unplanned pause became a profound teacher.

This episode centers on the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura), the energy center of personal power, confidence, willpower, and self-trust. Through honest storytelling, chakra education, and gentle life advice, Catie shares how pausing—rather than pushing—can restore motivation, clarity, and inner fire. She weaves her lived experience of rest, growth, love, and renewed inspiration with practical insight into how a “sticky” or blocked Solar Plexus can show up as procrastination, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and exhaustion.

Listeners are guided through reflection, offered an affirmation rooted in nourishment and patience, and invited into a meaningful journal prompt exploring how pauses can lead to healing and transformation. The episode concludes with a guided meditation, Pausing Into Personal Power, designed to help you reconnect with your inner fire—without force or urgency.

This is an episode about remembering that confidence doesn’t come from hustle—it comes from presence. And sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is pause long enough to feel what’s already within you.
