What is Intentional  Resting?

Intentional RestingTM is a simple way to rest for, and soften, whatever’s bothering you, in just 30 seconds!

What’s it based on?

Intentional Resting is based on the premise that many people’s default state has become one of stress, so much so that they often don’t even realise that they are stressed. This results in bodies and minds on continual alert, that can eventually manifest as all types of dis-ease from poor sleep through arthritis to depression.

Since practising Intentional Resting I’ve discovered that although I was sleeping well, I wasn’t resting  After intentionally resting into sleep, I’ve woken feeling more alive, after fewer hours of sleep!

Isn’t resting the same as relaxing?

Not really. Most people do something to relax; they may breathe more deeply, listen to music, or watch TV. And many fail to achieve the relaxation they seek.

‘To rest’ comes from the French verb ‘arrêter’, which means ‘to stop’. When we rest we automatically disengage from the stress response, giving our body and mind systems the space to rebalance and heal in the way only they know best.

Resting takes you from being a  ‘human doing’ to a ‘human being’!

What will resting do for me?

• Resting takes you from a stressed state to stillness (or  peace / being / pure awareness). It takes you home to you! Most people experiece resting as a settling into themselves.
• Resting creates space in your body and mind; space that allows for automatic healing and rebalancing to restore and enliven you. Many people feel energised after resting.
• Resting has helped resolve or diminish a wide range of conditions, and is particularly effective for sleep issues and fibromyalgia.
