What is True Rest?

True Rest® is a deeply relaxing, highly restorative guided meditation that helps us to discover a greater sense of peace, ease and wellbeing in our daily lives. It is a time of self-care that aids a profound release of physical, mental and emotional tension. Based on the ancient tantric practice of Yoga Nidra, this practice utilises mindfulness, breath and body sensing as a gateway to resting in simply Being . 

In a True Rest class we make a 'nest' using pillows, blankets and any other props so that your body is comfortable, warm and fully supported.

True Rest invites you to just stop for a while. With regular practice, its benefits go deeper than just a relaxation of the body and mind. Taking a break from the busyness of life just to 'be' allows space for insight, clarity, and new perspectives about ourselves and the world to arise naturally. It is an aid to listening to our inner knowing, opening to our deepest truth and remembering what really matters.

Our nervous systems are subjected to an incredible amount of information and stimulation in our modern lives. When we are deprived of periods of stillness, reflection, rest, and time to process our busy lives, our minds and bodies become susceptible to stress, anxiety and dis-ease. 

True Rest is here for you if you are simply exhausted by the pace and craziness of life, feeling overwhelmed by challenging life events, or interested in exploring the deeper questions you have about life. The practice  is incredibly simple and completely effortless. It’s not about trying to control your mind, it's not religious, and you don’t need to hold any particular belief system to benefit from it. True Rest is for everyone whether you are completely new to meditation or are you an experienced meditator.

I hope to serve you in this way soon,

Love Amanda x
