Rest, she posits, is not only restorative—it connects you to your inner wisdom and is a portal to revelation. Raheem urges us to consider rest as a spiritual practice and to find ways to weave it into the busyness of our everyday life. In this way, she says, we can more fully “rise to the occasion of our life.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaheem 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRest as a place of refuge from the storms of life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRest as a place to remember who you are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRest as a place of revelation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach page of \u003ci\u003eRest is Sacred\u003c\/i\u003e invites the reader into seeing rest as a contemplative practice and a way of life—and to reflect on our relationship to grind culture. The sutras are concise, potent, and inspiring and can be read in a moment, contemplated, or lingered over. Raheem offers the view that the most sustainable future available to us is a well-rested one, and that rest isn’t a luxury—it is a necessary spiritual practice that is available to us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47854409416793,"sku":"9781645473275","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":47854409449561,"sku":"9780834845985","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook (Download)","offer_id":47854409482329,"sku":"9781645474043","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.shambhala.com\/products\/rest-is-sacred-reclaiming-our-brilliance-through-the-practice-of-stillness","provider":"Shambhala Publications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
