This training establishes waking REST as the 1st fundamental of wellbeing.
Attaining wellbeing requires the ability to rest before you engage in movement. Rest is the waking state between sleeping and acting. To prioritize rest over movement, learn to deactivate your sympathetic mobilization and activate your parasympathetic rest. This involves engaging your whole organism, particularly your breath and muscles, in support of rest. To help reduce the urge (and compulsion) to move, detect the pull towards resting comfort and recognize it as a bio-signal of homeostasis and wellbeing. Finally, strengthen your motivation and commitment to slowing down and embracing rest (before movement), by learning to appreciate the pleasantness and comfort of rest while acknowledging any discomfort you may feel.
