Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.
You know, rest is an inherent
part of the rhythms of nature.
All around us, things rise and fall,
they bloom and close up, shine and fall
into darkness, they sleep and wake.
We have spring and winter, movement
and stillness, sound and silence.
We human beings, of course are
embedded in the cycles of nature.
So our bodies and minds work at
their optimum when we allow them to
operate in their natural balance.
But so often we override our
inner calls to take rest.
We just keep on pushing through,
planning, doing, achieving,
fixing, solving, running.
And part of the reason for this is that
in our culture today, being constantly
on the go is encouraged and rewarded.
And rest is seen as lazy, useless
sometimes and even shameful.
But the truth is, is that
rest is rich with rewards.
It clears our minds.
It strengthens our bodies, boosts our
immune system, enhances our creativity.
Research shows that when we switch
out of doing mode into being mode and
let ourselves rest, we're better able
to connect with our loved ones, feel
contentment and happiness, and we're more
able to be fully present in our moments.
And then the joy and inner strength
that comes from our times of rest,
connection and play can naturally
flow out into the rest of our lives.
You know, if you think about
the analogy of a battery.
This makes so much common sense, right?
We need to keep recharging our
energy stores with rest so that we
don't become completely depleted
and run ourselves into the ground
or get lost in a haze of running
around in our own personal rat race.
So this week I invite you to
reclaim your right to rest, take
back some time to feed your soul.
You know, so maybe just take a moment
to contemplate what this means for you.
What can you do today, this week,
this month to recharge your batteries?
It could be as simple as taking
regular breaks at work, having a slow
cup of tea, going for a walk in the
park or carving some time out for
that hobby that you love, you know,
the one that really nourishes you.
It could also mean saying no to some
events, projects or, you know, people,
invitations so that you can have
more space and move a little slower,
or it might just mean taking a nap.
By giving us permission to rest
at regular intervals, you'll avoid
burnouts and meltdowns and enjoy a
more sustainable way of living where
you can show up as your best self when
it's time to get back out there again.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
