Last week we discussed the idea of balance in our lives: in terms of the activities of living (family, work, exercise, spiritual practice) as well as balance within ourselves (heart, soul, mind and body). We reflected on the idea of sabbath as a gift - rest as a gift - to us and for us. A gift that we neglect, thinking if we just get one more thing done, THEN we can rest. But the truth is, we need to build the practice of 'restoring our souls' into our every day lives.
In our world and its fast pace, it has become increasingly difficult to be out of touch with the world and really take a break. We explored, through guided imagery, the idea that this time of quiet, sabbath, rest, is an opportunity to reconnect with our deepest needs and desires. That stopping in the middle of the everyday busyness is essential for us to figure out where we want to be going. How can we possibly get there if we don't know where we're going?
