RESTING AS LOVING YOURSELF

The art of resting is no different from the art of loving oneself. The former is not possible till one begins to do the latter. It is lack of love for ourselves that make us turn a deaf ear to and abuse our bodies and brains.

Granted, there is a time when resting is not an option because there is a critical issue that needs to be attended to. But in a crisis the universe comes to our rescue and kicks in our reserves and we are energized. But even in such a situation we can hear the mute pleadings of our bodies to rest whenever we can, whenever we come up against our limits.
