Daring To Rest – written by Karen Brody

Review by Jane Macnaught

Rest and sleep are craved by many of us as we seek to slow down our lives and focus on what makes us feel more connected, less anxious and well rested.  In her book, Karen Brody encourages women to rest more fully.  The results are pretty clear that when we are not tired, we have greater capacity to achieve more at work. When we are well rested we also find more contentment at home and life balance becomes a possibility.

“Who would you be if you were able to get enough rest? That’s the question Karen Brody is asking women to explore in Daring to Rest.

As ‘worn-out’ has become the default setting for women today, here’s a book to help women learn how to properly rest.  Not just allow for more downtime or inactivity, but find a place of true stillness.

We learn to rest using the framework of yoga nidra; a guided meditation done lying down that deeply relaxes the body and accesses the subconscious mind.

Brody teaches the reader how to carry the effects of a daily practice into everyday life. Thus you don’t fall back into the cycle of worn-out exhaustion.

This easy read is inspiring women across the globe to join her “rest sisters” programs.  I hope you enjoy and become inspired to allocate time for more rest.” (ref Booktopia)
