“How many of us forget the power and potency of rest? How many of us sacrifice our peace for productivity, achieving and trying to get to somewhere (inwardly or outwardly)?"
This is an exert from my blog post ‘The Potency of Rest’ It feels as relevant today as ever having written it in 2022. I am noticing tiredness that needs something more than sleep. It needs the pause and the noticing, the vibrancy that comes from presence, and the filling that comes from silence.
You can read the full post on my website, and I am delighted to have put an audio file there so you can listen if you want to simply sit back and let the words wash over you. Either way sending you presence and peace, deeply restorative moments and lots of love, Jo ☺️🙏
“How many of us forget the power and potency of rest? How many of us sacrifice our peace for productivity, achieving and trying to get to somewhere (inwardly or outwardly)? I certainly do and when I remember the incredible gift of doing nothing I can find myself so fully immersed in the present moment that it is like someone switched on the light. The clarity and vibrancy are awe-inspiring, the awareness sharp and focused but so tender. I wonder how I ever rushed, how I ever missed this quiet attentive awareness and complete witnessing of the present moment... and then I forget, and rush again!”
