By Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith
Staying busy is easy. Staying well rested- there’s a challenge.
How can you keep your energy, happiness, creativity, and relationships fresh and thriving in the midst of never-ending family demands, career pressures, and the stress of everyday life? In Sacred Rest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a board-certified internal medicine doctor, reveals why rest can no longer remain optional.
Dr. Dalton-Smith shares seven types of rest she has found lacking in the lives of those she encounters in her clinical practice and research-physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sensory, social, creative-and why a deficiency in any one of these types of rest can have unfavorable effects on your health, happiness, relationships, creativity, and productivity. Sacred Rest combines the science of rest, the spirituality of rest, the gifts of rest, and the resulting fruit of rest. It shows rest as something sacred, valuable, and worthy of our respect.
By combining scientific research with personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical next steps, Sacred Rest gives the weary permission to embrace rest, set boundaries, and seek sanctuary without any guilt, shame, or fear.

Burning. This was the author. Is it you?
There are different kinds of rest. It’s not just lying down at night or kicking back in your recliner. You first need to identify which kind or rest you really need in order to achieve that rest.
Not only will this book show you what kinds of rest you need, it will also show you how to go about achieving that rest.
I’ve been reading one or two chapters a day rather than reading straight through the book. This gives me time to process and implement.
Thank you, Dr. Dalton-Smith. I didn’t know just how much I needed rest.
