A new look at the vital role rest plays in our lives, and a prescription for how to get more deep, soul-nourishing peace.
Staying busy is easy. Staying well rested—now there's a challenge. How can you keep your energy, happiness, creativity, and relationships fresh and thriving in the midst of never-ending family demands, career pressures, and the stress of everyday life? In Sacred Rest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a board-certified internal medicine doctor, reveals why rest can no longer remain optional.
Dr. Dalton-Smith identifies the seven types of rest she has found lacking in the lives of those she encounters in her clinical practice and research—physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sensory, social, creative—and why a deficiency in any one of these types of rest can have unfavorable effects on your health, happiness, relationships, creativity, and productivity.
This new version of the book includes a new chapter with updated science into the study of rest and new information about how it affects our bodies, moods, and relationships. Sacred Rest combines the science, the spirituality, the gifts, and the resulting fruit of rest. It reveals rest as something sacred, valuable, and worthy of our respect. By combining scientific research with personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical next steps, this book gives the weary permission to embrace all kinds of rest, set boundaries, and seek sanctuary without any guilt, shame, or fear.
