The Six Dimensions Of Rest: Pathways To Renewal

In this course, you will be gently guided through six unique dimensions of rest, each offering a way to restore what feels depleted in your body, heart, and mind. Together, we’ll explore practices and reflections that not only bring ease in the moment, but also teach you how to invite deeper renewal into daily life. By the end, you will have a personal toolkit of restful practices, ways to release tension, quiet the mind, soothe emotions, and reconnect with the stillness that continually replenishes your energy.

Lesson 1

Physical Rest: When The Body Softens

In this first lesson, you’re invited to let your body soften and embrace real physical rest. I’ll gently guide you to release tension, notice your breath, and discover how sweet it feels to allow every muscle to unwind. This is a time for your body to deeply relax, find ease, and remember its natural capacity to rest and restore itself.

Lesson 2

Mental Rest: The Stillness Between Thoughts

In this lesson, we explore the quiet refuge of mental rest: the pause between thoughts where the mind can finally exhale. Mental rest is not about emptying the mind, but about softening its constant stream, creating space for clarity and peace to emerge. Together, we’ll practice resting in this stillness, learning to release the weight of overthinking and invite in a deeper sense of mental ease.

Lesson 3

Emotional Rest: Laying Down The Heart’s Burdens

In this lesson, we turn toward the heart and the gentle art of emotional rest. So often, we carry unspoken worries, hidden pressures, and the weight of others’ expectations. Emotional rest is the invitation to set these burdens down, even for a while, and to honor the truth of what we feel without judgment. Through this practice, we create space for tenderness, release, and the quiet healing that arises when the heart is allowed to breathe freely.

Lesson 4

Sensory Rest: Returning To Gentle Silence

In this lesson, we explore the gift of sensory rest—a return to quietness in a world that constantly demands our attention. Our senses are often flooded with noise, screens, and stimulation, leaving us overwhelmed without realizing it. Sensory rest is the gentle act of turning down the volume of the outside world, inviting stillness and simplicity back into our awareness.

Lesson 5

Spiritual Rest: Resting In Something Greater

In this lesson, we turn to the quiet refuge of spiritual rest, the deep exhale that comes when we remember we are part of something larger than ourselves. Spiritual rest is not tied to any specific belief system; rather, it is the felt sense of connection, belonging, and trust in life itself. It is the pause where we release the weight of having to control everything, and instead lean into the comfort of surrender.

Lesson 6

Creative Rest: Opening Space For Wonder

In this final lesson, we explore creative rest: the kind of nourishment that comes not from doing more, but from opening ourselves to awe, playfulness, and imagination. Creative rest is about giving the mind space to breathe and wander, so new ideas, insights, and inspirations can arise naturally.

Rest as a natural part if life, somewhat radical idea given our focus on productivity and control of ourselves and the environment. I loved this course in learning to remember our selves as part of the whole and to release expectations and the pressure to be always on the go.
