Rest Practice with Octavia F. Raheem: Giving Your Mind the Rest It Deserves

When I ask people "What part of you is most in need of rest?", I've found that about 80% identify their mind. This comes as no surprise, as our mental activity can be relentless—whether it's recurring thoughts on a loop or simply too many thoughts competing for attention at once. In this rest practice, I explore this common experience.
As you listen, I guide you through:
Choosing between sitting upright or lying down (I suggest sitting can help with attention when seeking mental rest)
Scanning your body from bottom to top, top to bottom, and left to right
Noticing where your attention is naturally drawn in your body
Releasing tension and providing support where needed
Softening different parts of your body systematically
Using the mantra "Inhale: let, Exhale: go" to anchor your mind
This approach isn't about rigid stillness but finding varying degrees of rest that work for you.
This episode is perfect for leaders, space-holders, and anyone whose mind needs a generative pause from constant activity.
