As someone who never considered meditation, I was completely drawn in by Oneika Mays' narrative style in Sit with Me. Her writing doesn't lecture--invites you along for the ride. Through her journey, I was reminded that healing isn't a destination you rush toward, and that being tender with yourself isn't weakness--it's the foundation for how you show up for everyone else.
This is an accessible, deeply human read for those of us who have mastered giving to others while leaving ourselves empty. For anyone who knows, deep down, that they can't be their full and free selves until they learn to sit with all of who they are--this book is for you.
