How to pause game for a certain time and resume again

I want to pause my game for 2 seconds and continue again. I tried the following but it didn't work.

var duration = NSTimeInterval(2)
var wait=SKAction.waitForDuration(duration)
self.runAction(wait)

self is SKScene. Is there a different method to achieve this?

You can set the SKNode.isPaused property. This is a Boolean value that determines whether actions on the node and its descendants are processed.

This means that if you set self.paused = true in the SKScene, all of the child nodes of the scene will be paused. You can also do it to individual nodes like sprites.
