The new year is a great time to reflect on where we are coming from and where we are going. But instead of hustling into the new year, setting toxic resolutions and unrealistic goals, Octavia Raheem is encouraging us to rest.
This podcast conversation features author, mentor and yoga teacher, Octavia Raheem. In her new book, Pause, Rest, Be: Stillness Practices for Courage in Times of Change, Octavia offers us a powerful guide to navigating the many changes we are facing with wisdom and ease. Instead of trying to push our way through endings, beginnings, and places of uncertainty, only to find ourselves more confused, more disconnected, more exhausted than ever, Octavia encourages us to lean back and trust in the transformative power of rest.
“Now” she says” is no ordinary moment in time. Now is a place of startling individual collective endings. Now is the space before something else becomes. Now is both a promise and fulfillment of fresh beginnings”.
This conversation is a gift to all of us who are navigating the mess of this moment and yearning for so much more.
