The nuance between control and sovereignty...lovely and essential...

"Rest is giving calm to a nervous system running at high alert and relieving hypervigilance against the anxieties of the life. For some, this is a pause. For others, rest is found in movement. Either way, the core of rest is being in flow of self. Hearing your own voice and following that lead. Rest is intuitive. And, it lives in the same home as words like grounded, centered, aligned, and authentic. Rest is going compassionately into ourselves, even when we are in spaces with no control.

When we feel seen and recognized in our authentic nature, by ourselves and others, we often respond with a deep exhale...the body's way of resting into its nature; it's truth. It's magnificent to consider that we have a built in intelligence always letting us know when we are landed in our unique essence...
