Rest is a Portal
What Is Waiting for You Beyond the Noise?
I have always loved contemplative practices that invite stillness. Meditation, intentional movement, breathwork, active imagination, yoga nidra — these companions have shaped the woman I am, and they continue to shape the woman I am becoming.
There is something radical about choosing to lie down in a world that equates worth with productivity. Stillness, when entered intentionally, is not withdrawal but return. It is the decision to orient inward in a way that allows you to remember what is true.
Rest is not simply a pause between efforts.
When the nervous system softens and the body releases its bracing, a deeper layer of awareness becomes available. Beneath the surface noise, you can begin to hear your own innate intelligence and wisdom.
Yoga nidra, sometimes called “soulful sleep,” has been one of the most reliable doorways into this state for me. As attention moves slowly through the body and breath deepens naturally, something reorganizes. Muscles unclench. The mind quiets. The edges of identity soften just enough for something subtler to be heard.
What moves me again and again is not only the process — though it is delicious — but what follows. When the body and mind let go, imaginal wisdom awakens. Insight arrives without urgency. A sense of direction begins to take shape. In that liminal space between waking and dreaming, you can glimpse the woman you are becoming and feel her not as wishful thinking, but as embodied possibility.
And Yet, Rest is Not Avoidance.
Before we can surrender fully, the body must feel its own structure. The spine, the center, the bones — the scaffolding that holds us upright in our lives — are living architecture. When we move gently and deliberately, sensing our internal support, we remember that steadiness is available. Strength is not the same as tension. Support has been here all along.
When we soften into rest after remembering our innate structure of support, wisdom rises in surprising ways. It feels anchored. Habitable. Actionable. We emerge coherent and clear-minded, not because we forced clarity, but because we prepared the ground for it.
This is why I say rest is a portal.
Rest does not remove us from the world; it restores us to the strength required to meet it. We are living in a time that demands discernment, capacity, and inner authority. The pace is relentless. The noise is constant. Without intentional reorientation, we begin to act from reactivity rather than clarity.
Rest Interrupts The Cycle.
When practiced in rhythm — when we return to it again and again — rest becomes training. The body learns steadiness. The mind softens its grip. Innate intelligence and soul-level wisdom become easier to hear. And from that coherence, action emerges that is aligned rather than frantic.
Relaxation is wonderful, but in Soul Nourished Circle: Bone Deep we rest with intention. We do not rest simply to relax, but to reorganize. We don’t rest to receive insight, but to become the kind of woman who moves through the world with intention and power. Through cycles of arrival, breath, embodied awareness, and deep rest, we practice remembering. And through ongoing connection, reflection, and recommitment, we practice living what we remember.
Rest is Not Indulgence, But Initiation.
If you sense that rest is not indulgence but initiation, then this portal may be calling you. The strength you are seeking is not somewhere outside of you. It is waiting beneath the noise, ready to rise the moment you soften enough to hear it — and steady enough to act from what you hear.
