Rest is essential. It’s like food or water; without it, we die. As today’s guest points out though, it’s also a sacred practice.
In today’s rerun conversation, originally held live on Hello Monday’s Office Hours, Octavia Raheem joins Jessi Hempel to talk about, and to practice, rest. Octavia Raheem is a rest coach, yoga and meditation teacher, and author. Her latest book is called Rest is Sacred: Reclaiming Our Brilliance Through the Practice of Stillness.
She and Jessi discuss:
- How rest sparks creativity and connection
- Rethinking productivity through rest
- How to build micro-rest practices into your days
- The power of rest for self-reflection, personal growth, and clarity
Then, Octavia leads us in a transformative guided rest practice that combines mindfulness, relaxation, and breathing techniques.
