Reclaim the Sabbath

October 17, 2021

Hi loves. Sweet Sunday to you, sabbath and day of rest. 

Some of the oldest cultural traditions are worth preserving, reclaiming, and repurposing for a modern world. This is one I’m taking back up.

Another time, I’ll post on the plethora of research on health benefits of naps and adequate sleep - how being rested reduces inflammation, WEIGHT GAIN, improves immunity and nervous system functioning, enhances your ability to weather COLDS and stay CALM in a crisis, plus the additional preventive health impact for pregnant and postpartum people, marginalized communities, and trauma survivors. 

All those medications, herbal supplements, and self-care tips you lean on? They actually work BETTER when your body is in a state of ease, not edge. 

Some of us need reminders and support, maybe an offer of free childcare, in order to make rest possible. Some of us need to simply give ourselves permission, and to let the to-do list WAIT. 

For now, I’m signing off. Big love to you, and maybe see you in a dream!
