The Importance of Being Nourished, one breath at a time.

Hello dreamers,

We had a lovely restorative practice last week, an hour dedicated tocalm and peace and regaining a moment of clarity. Difficult to do inour fast-paced life. But with some bolsters and blankets and the soothing sounds of the gentle rain on the yurt roof and the sweet voiced birdsong while we were cocooned inside with the fire, just felt special, magical and truly nurturing. I took some soulful words from Octavia Raheem’s book ‘Pause, Rest, Be.’ A beautiful book about our absolute right to rest, to honour the changes of our lives with reflection and courage. This practice was about coming home to yourself. It takes 20 minutes of rest before your body and mind starts to ease and your breath to deepen, for your stress response to switch off, to know that you are safe, that you are back home in your body.

‘No matter where you find yourself, I pray you have the courage to pause sometimes. To rest and look within. To be still and know that you are not lost. You are making your way home. Welcome Home.’ - Octavia Raheem from Pause, Rest, Be.

Thank you for this place to begin again.

Blessings, dear hearts.
