The combination reminder of being part of nature and that rest helps one fulfill one's human purpose is a much better motivator than needing a certain amount of sleep for health. I also appreciate that, while "rest" is undefined, imagery ranging from volcanos resting to that of a person not doing allows a sense of freedom and versatility that one rarely associates with rest, but that my stimulation seeking brain needs.

Just what I needed because I resist resting. Thank you!

Absolutely needed this. I am so resistant to rest. I love that you said that our only goal is to experience joy and grow to practice non-harm and directing that to ourselves. I have been judging myself for not accomplishing things in my days. I have MS and will be 71 this month. 36 years ago I discovered Louise Hay and taught myself and many other people to love themselves. But somewhere in this aging process and disability I have forgotten to do it for myself. I would like to give you a donation but can't figure out why I'm not able to. I'm so happy to have found you as a teacher on Insight Timer. My partner and I are going to start taking your class on organizing our lives, setting goals. May the blessings you send out return to your multiplied 💞

Excellent reminder of why rest is vital, gently said. I resist rest and need this reminder alot.

Makes sense. That meditation just eliminated most of my excuses for not sleeping. Thanks.
