This week’s Doula Circle topic was ‘Cultivating a practice of rest’. If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, check out our last Doula Circle follow up post to learn more about the new structure we’re using in this space.
A summary of what we discussed last Tuesday:
What does your rest practice look like currently?
When you consider these forms of rest, what feels easy and accessible to you? Which feel more challenging to access?
Physical Rest
Mental Rest
Spiritual Rest
Emotional Rest
Sensory Rest
Social Rest
Creative Rest
When you’re overwhelmed, what’s the first/primary form of rest that you focus on or ground in?
What are some ways that you call on folks in your life to support your rest practice?
How could you be better supported in your rest practice?
Some other topics that were discussed:
Placenta encapsulation
Supporting folks that are incarcerated
There’s no self-care without community care
Resources:
The Nap Ministry 1-833-LUV-NAPS (588-6277)
Call this number to have some love and restful encouragement poured into you from the Nap Bishop herself, Tricia Hersey. Visit the website to explore other resources like her book, Rest is Resistance and more.
