Practice iRest to: induce deep relaxation throughout the body and mind; eliminate stress; overcome insomnia; solve personal and interpersonal problems; resolve trauma; neutralize and overcome anxiety; fear, anger and depression; as well as to enter deep meditation in order to unravel the mystery of life and answer questions such as, " who am I?", " why am I?", "what is all this?", and, "what is enlightenment?". iRest, is practiced in a supported supine position and through guided meditation. As you welcome everything that is present in the body and mind, our emotions and thoughts begin to grow calmer and we connect to the aspect of ourselves that is always peaceful and at ease.
