Oral Patrick was terminated from his job on the eighty-third floor of the World Trade Center the day before 9/11 when the planes destroyed the buildings and killed many of its occupants. In the ensuing weeks and months, he volunteered to go back to Ground Zero to assist with the search and rescue effort. As a result, he developed chronic eczema and bronchitis from the toxic pollutants in the air. After he was terminated form his job as a computer systems engineer, he was on the verge of homelessness and his relationships experienced severe challenges during this time as friends and family withdrew. However, unlike many of his counterparts who succumbed to illnesses related to the toxic exposure, he was completely restored. Patrick recovered by using alternative therapies which deliver safe results without the need for drugs with severe side effects or invasive procedures. In Restorative Healing Begins with Rest, he shares how he overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to recover by using techniques for resting the mind, body, and spirit. Resting activates the innate self-healing power of the body. Circadian-based fasting, which is resting the digestive system, is one of the most effective ways to heal from chronic degenerative conditions. Additionally, he used meditation techniques, in conjunction with music, to heal emotionally by reconnecting authentically to the superconscious self.

Gold Nautilus Book Award Winner Restoring your body, mind, and spirit amid change is an act of courage, empowerment, and hope. This warm, powerful guide will help you honor the changes and spaces in your life with purposeful rest and reflection. If you're trying to push your way through endings, beginnings, and places of uncertainty, only to find yourself more confused, disconnected, tired, and uncertain, this book will hold and fortify you. Yoga teacher and activist Octavia Raheem offers us the motivation and guidance we need to restore ourselves in the midst of all sorts of change. Change in our lives—whether it be welcome, joyful, challenging, or more subtle—presents us with the opportunity to pause and gather our energy to work with whatever lies ahead. Drawing wisdom from yoga philosophy and her many years of teaching experience, Raheem offers us the motivation and guidance we need to restore ourselves in the midst of all types of change. She gives us three simple restorative yoga poses (savasana, side lying pose, and child’s pose), and offers short teachings, reflections, and practices to see us through times of ending, beginning, and liminal/transitional space. She shows us how slowing down, stillness, and deeper connection to our own transitions empower us to move through collective shifts with more grace—and what it means to navigate shifts and change with presence and courage.
