To all who are fatigued, anxious, or exhausted: you are not alone. Here are some options to get your REST practice going.

We need to belong, and we need to nurture our sense of belonging.

What are you attuning to in your practice?

What are you using as fuel in your practice?

What are the effects of your practice?

In fact, for a time, I really hated it.”
