As natural born healers we give, give, give…depleting our batteries and eventually needing recharge. Whether helping someone with a business proposal, quarter end financials or holding a hand with someone in need of physical or mental healing.

There may be times when we take on too much and need a little downtime to recover and recharge. It takes courage to hang the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door but eventually it becomes a new norm.

With practice we become more aware of when downtime is needed. No matter the level on consciousness or awareness, all sentient beings have proven a necessity for taking time in the desert, in the woods or sitting quietly on a beach reading a book.

Dare to hang the sign, whether literally on a door or figuratively on a beach…beach sounds more appealing…
