Rest Is Sacred: Reclaiming Our Brilliance Through the Practice of Stillness

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 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.

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.
