Comments on: True Rest http://www.loving-awareness.org/2008/01/30/true-rest/ A Journey to Wholeness This feed is channeling based. It relates to metaphysical subjects about the nature of Love and living your life from a place of joy. It encompasses personal growth and self-help, but tries to be universal as well, encompassing non-dogmatic spirituality, community, and even some emphasis on putting positive change to the world.

I don't find that I overwork myself, but when I need rest, I have a tendency to distract myself with the Internet instead of truly resting. That last part about meditation really struck me. I have been trying to meditate more regularly, but I kept resisting it because I keep telling myself I "should". If I instead regard it as my time to stop and rest (as I have done occasionally), I do it naturally and happily. Thanks for the reminder! This is a great article, Matthew.

I too, struggle with just "doing nothing", very challenging for a warrior (me!) who has been all about PRODUCTIVITY. I have lately been more with myself thru meditation tho it is hard for me to go there...I still find myself resisting it. Quieting the monkey mind is a challenge! However, my current physical mobility limitations are a blessing (thanks for the reminder that it is!) and so, TRUE REST has made itself more available to me. ~Blessings, Mari Lynn Thank you for this wonderful read and also the comments made have been helpful.

This atmosphere of simplicity invites what is, trusting the source that actually been carrying and supporting life all along, to keep on carrying this life form into whatever situations it is supposed to experience. So I would say, trust in the no-thingness of what I truly am, is the key to exist in the world, without tension.
