iRest 

​

"When we accept life as it is,dissatisfaction and suffering cease, and we learn to deal with reality on it's own terms, rather than through what our mind desire's."

-Richard Miller

​

iRest is a meditation practice based on the ancient tradition of Yoga Nidra and adapted to suit the conditions of modern life. When practiced regularly - little and often - iRest enables you to meet each moment of your life with unshakable peace and wellbeing, no matter how challenging or difficult your situation. 

 

iRest was developed by Dr. Richard Miller, a researcher, clinical psychologist, author, yogic scholar, and spiritual teacher who combined traditional jyogic practice with Western psychology and neuroscience. It is practiced and taught by thousands of people worldwide in a wide range of settings, including health centers, schools, community centers, yoga studios, correctional facilities and within military and veteran communities. 

   

iRest has historically been endorsed by the U.S. Army Surgeon General and recognized by the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury as a form of complementary and alternative medicine, thus warranting continuing research on its efficacy in the treatment of post- traumatic stress. iRest has been shown to be effective in scientific trials for conditions including chronic pain, sleep problems, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

iRest is simple to learn and easy to practice. It can be practiced by anyone, regardless of physical ability or experience with meditation. Once learned, iRest becomes a set of tools for life.

Primordial Sound Meditation

​​

Silence is the great teacher and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it. There is no substiture for the creative inspiration, knowledge and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence.

-Deepak Chopra

​

Primordial Sound Meditation, or PSM, is a healing practice that allows us to experience inner calm and deep relaxation. For thousands of years, people have used meditation to move beyond the mind's busy activity and emotional turbulence into profound peace and expanded awareness.
 

​Primordial Sound Meditation is a powerful meditation technique rooted in the Vedic tradition of India. Chopra co-founders Deepak Chopra and David Simon have revived this ancient practice of sound meditation and made it available in a format that’s easy to learn.           
      
When you learn Primordial Sound Meditation, you will receive a personal mantra. A mantra is a specific sound or vibration, which when repeated silently, helps you to enter deeper levels of awareness. A Sanskrit term that translates as "vehicle of the mind," a mantra truly is a vehicle that takes you into quieter, more peaceful levels of the mind.

The mantra you will receive is the vibration the universe was creating at the time and place of your birth, and it is calculated following Vedic mathematic formulas. When you silently repeat your mantra in meditation, it creates a vibration that helps you slip into the space between your thoughts, into the complete silence that is sometimes referred to as "the gap." Your mind is no longer caught up in its noisy internal chatter and is instead exposed to its own deepest nature: Pure Awareness.

Mindfulness

​

“Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment.”

-Jon Kabat Zinn 

​

Mindfulness refers to a moment-by-moment nonjudgemental focus on one's awareness while calmly observing, acknowledging and accepting your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment. It is the awareness of one's internal state and surroundings. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we are sensing in the present moment--the now-- rather than rehearsing the past or worrying about the future. Mindfulness can help people avoid negative or automatic habits and responses. Mindfulness is used in several therapeutic interventions, including mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and mindfulness meditation. We all possess the ability to be fully mindful and present in our daily lives and practicing Mindfulness can be truly transformative.
