Why Deep, Delicious Rest?
I love to say, "You have to let go to let in." We live in a grind culture of pushing through, people pleasing, and perfecting. While these tactics might have worked in our 20's and 30's, our 40+ year old bodies are looking for new ways to care for ourselves. Resting helps us receive and tap into abundance, so we can release the old scarcity "not enough" mindset of "I'm too busy" or "I don't deserve to have time for me." You are enough just as you are. And you'll get to remember that at Summer Camp. Just ask Yoga Bunny who is very "busy" meditating at camp.
