iRest®
Integrative Restoration is a transformative practice derived from the
ancient teachings of meditation that leads to psychological, physical,
and spiritual healing. iRest® teaches skills that you can use throughout
your life, that assist you in experiencing a sense of mastery when
encountering difficult situations and a sense of ease that pervades your
everyday life.
The purpose of iRest is to help you live a contented life free of
conflict, anxiety, fear and dissatisfaction. The protocol is (1)
integrative in that it heals the various unresolved issues, traumas, and
wounds that are present in the body, mind and senses; and (2)
restorative in that it aids its practitioners in recognizing their
underlying peace of mind that is always present amidst all changing
circumstances of life.
iRest accomplishes its goal through two basic steps:
- The recognition of an intrinsic sense of peace during all circumstances, and
- The release of negative body sensations, emotions, beliefs, and stress that give rise to self-destructive patterns.
iRest is composed of ten components:
- Development of Intention
- Body sensitivity training
- Breath and energy awareness
- Systematic neutralization of:
Negative body sensations and stress
Negative feelings and emotions,
Negative beliefs, images, and memories
- The experience of joy and well-being
-
Freedom from the sense of separation generated by the senses and mind
- The ability to experience peace amidst the changing circumstances of life
