Rest is Revolutionary: Tracee Stanley

This season, we’re exploring the theme of recovery and repair on CTZN Podcast. We’ll be talking to some amazing leaders in healing who are inviting us to rest, to embrace grief, to look at our trauma and suffering with a more curious and compassionate eye; so that we can stay connected, stay in the conversation and stay in mutual care as we keep going.

Because we need to keep going. There is so much more to be done to heal the past and fight for the future.

Kicking off this season is the powerful Tracee Stanley, yoga teacher, author and who’s new book Radiant Rest: Yoga Nidra for Deep Relaxation & Awakened Clarity, has been a lifeline for me in the last couple months. 

In the book, Tracee says that rest is our birthright, and when we are able to embrace that - we begin to see how we have been asleep in our lives. It is an essential practice in a moment when dominant culture is telling us to get back to normal and perform being woke. We practice rest so that we can remain awake - awake to the reality of our interdependence and collective survival.
