rest practices for writers
Free for everyone; supported by the Mola Fund.
These rest practices for writers are designed to lead you into a deep, restful state, where your entire being can heal, renew itself, and regenerate. De-regulating the nervous system allows for more creativity and joy to flow through you...and who doesn’t want more creativity and joy?
There is nothing for you to do during this practice other than to be as comfortable as possible and just let it happen. The invitation is to keep a trace of awareness while you’re resting, but if you fall asleep, then sleep is what you need. You will still get the benefit of the practice.
Use these rest practices anytime: before writing, to lead you into sleep, when you need to rest but can’t or don’t want to nap, when you are just a bit bone weary and aren’t sure what to do about it. Consider having a notebook nearby and spending 3-5 minutes free-writing after the practice. The mind is often in a fabulous liminal state after resting, and you may be amazed at what comes from it!
Rest practices are free for all writers because they are supported by the Mola Fund, a communal pot made up of small donations from anyone who wants to assure that all writers have access to writing support and community, without money determining who gets that and who does not.
