Brief Description:
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.
