Host, Karen Pawley, interviews Karen Brody, founder of the community Daring to Rest. Karen Brody emphasizes the importance of rest and introduces Yoga Nidra as a powerful sleep meditation practice that leads to deep rest and transformation. Karen Brody shares her personal journey from experiencing chronic panic attacks and exhaustion to discovering Yoga Nidra, which profoundly improved her well-being. She highlights the challenges of overcoming societal pressures that undervalue rest and explains how rest can help reclaim one's true nature, often lost in our fast-paced, productivity-driven culture.
The conversation touches on the heroine’s journey concept from Maureen Murdoch, contrasting it with the traditional hero's journey. It describes a pathway for women to rediscover their essence through challenges like burnout or health crises, leading to a deep connection with the divine feminine and a more authentic, restful life. Karen Brody also emphasizes the role of the body in finding wisdom and advocates for embodied practices to connect more deeply with oneself. She proposes creating rest doulas to hold space for rest, allowing people to explore new, rested ways of being before reaching a crisis point. The conversation concludes with a vision for communities to value and facilitate rest, fostering healthier cultures and households.
