Welcome to May’s Sweet Darkness

Last month we took our time in the Sweet Darkness to give special, and intentional space to equanimity.

This May, our word at The Art of Rest is pause.

Often times, our lives are moving so fast that we don’t always take the time to fully register exactly where we are. When the urgency of spring presses the promises of blossoms at our doorstep—sometimes we need a little extra nudge to remind us to pause, inventory, and incorporate before moving into the next moment.

This month’s guided practice is a little different than normal, but I hope it gives you a few well-needed pauses.
