Concise, potent, poetic messages of inspiration, direction, and encouragement for you to embrace rest and reflection as a deep spiritual practice.
In this compelling follow-up to her popular book, “Pause, Rest, Be”, Octavia Raheem offers succinct, gem-like teachings that invite us to find ways to embrace rest in our daily lives. Raheem posits that the most sustainable future is a well-rested one, and that rest isn't a luxury, it is a necessary spiritual practice available to us all.
Raheem uses personal reflection, and creative, evocative "sutras" (or, just as aptly, aphorisms, threads, psalms, or proverbs) and inquiry to guide us toward a more well-rested present and future. The forty sutras fall into three categories:
• Rest as a place of refuge from the storms of life • Rest as a place to remember who you are • Rest as a place of revelation
“Rest Is Sacred” invites the reader to reflect on our relationship to the grind culture and begin to see rest as a contemplative practice and way of life.
