Description

Rest, like sleep, is a biological need – a process for restoration and rebuilding. Rest is a major pathway to our renewal and survival. We re-create, renew and reorganise ourselves through the process of rest.

Effective rest can help you succeed by making you alert, whole, productive and happy.

Life is timed and sleep like other forms of rest follow circadian rhythms which powerfully affect our behaviour and our performance. It is therefore vitally important we create rhythms in our lives. Sleep is a powerful “passive” way to do this as is “active” rest.

Rest comes in various guises. Social rest means using the power of social connectedness to relax and rejuvenate. Spiritual rest is the practice of connecting with things larger and greater than ourselves which provide fellowship and meaning. Physical rest, by focusing on your body and its simplest physiological processes, provokes calm, relaxation, mental alertness and surprisingly better health.

“Active” rest is conscious. “Active” rest is under your control. “Active” rest is goal orientated and directed. Join us for a session introducing techniques and practices to rest the body and mind. Accomplish the necessary component of human existence.
