Rest, Restore, Breathe, Let Go In2 Heart

Do you sometimes resist rest?

I definitely do. Recently, I became very aware of my own resistance. The way to this awareness was listening to the insights coming through to me in my Akashic Records. I am being encouraged to deepen my devotional practice and Akashic Pathway inquiry.

Sharing this with a very close and trusted friend has been a large part of my process with this. It has been a combination of my willingness to listen to suggestions from my Akashic Records as well as sharing with someone and being seen in my truth (imperfectly).

In other words, I have learned from listening to and receiving from my Akashic Records A N D from sharing myself, honestly and with vulnerability, to a trusted and beloved person in my life.

Healing happens in relationship — this is how I see so much of the relational healing exchanges happening with the techniques I offer…

When I inquired into my Akashic Records further, I received some really interesting perspectives on resistance and how it connects with rest.

This, too, I resisted as being valid. Again, after sharing with a trusted person in my life, I was able to ground into the messages more.

This is an example of how we help one another when we respect each other by listening without judgment or unsolicited advice. The “Yes AND” of supportive relationship is a personal favourite.

I recently needed rest because my energy reserves were low and my body was asking for rest. So I listened. And I sensed how much resistance to rest also ran through my system. It was a challenge for me to truly and fully let go and surrender into resting over the weekend. I did my best. And once I did rest, I was slowly able to relax into resting more and more, one breath at a time.

Every time my body asks for rest and a letting go into heart, if I am willing and patient, there comes a time when I am truly able to relax deeply. Then I re-member the experience of how incredibly generative rest is.

When my body asks for rest and I honor this, fully, there is a generative gift of energy that is a renewal in my system. This can come with insights and inspiration; this can come with an awakened desire.

When I let go into heart, there is often a lot of quiet. Heart space, for me, is very quiet. Yet in this quiet is an incredible design — if I am willing to be patient and rest into it, I can sense this design in my body and I can receive it. I can “see it with my body”.

Rest is essential for health. Rest supports moderation. Heart is most generative when loved with breath and rest.

Honoring, respecting and supporting rest for all, as needed.
