Rest Is Sacred Reclaiming Our Brilliance through the Practice of Stillness

<b>Nautilus Book Awards Gold Winner<br><br>Concise, potent, poetic messages of inspiration, direction, and encouragement for you to embrace rest and reflection as a deep spiritual practice.</b><br><br>In this compelling follow-up to her popular book, <i>Pause, Rest, Be,</i> Octavia F. 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.<br><br>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: <br><br><br><br><ul><li>Rest as a place of refuge from the storms of life</li><li>Rest as a place to remember who you are</li><li>Rest as a place of revelation</li></ul><br><i>Rest Is Sacred</i> 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.
