Let's review our relationship with rest 🐑 // Episode 68

“ (…) when you're working on repatterning something or unlearning or learning something new or learning a new way of being in relationship with yourself, which is everything to do with sleep and rest, right? It's about allowing, it's about enabling yourself or giving yourself permission to step into this new place, this new relationship, this new way of being, - if you're approaching that with a tension, with a kind of hostility, it's not going to feel so good. There's just going to be pure resistance, pure bumps along the road. If you're at least starting from a place where you're just being tender and kind and as sweet as possible with yourself, i truly believe that it offers more space, more receptivity if you like. Because when we're open, we're more able to receive right? When we're contracted and closed off and maybe defensive, it's not so easeful. So, there's your challenge” Rest is the topic of this episode, which of course is vast, many of you who have been coming to my public yoga + movement + meditation events and talks over the last 10 years (10 years baybee!) will know that there's always ground to cover, but today, i thought it might be helpful for us to review our relationship with rest. Particularly at this moment in time. Expect a creative activity later in the show (of course) but as with everything, it’s optional, but if you’re into it, have a pen and paper handy or whatever you like to use to take notes. ...Should i wheel out that old dictaphone episode now? lol.
