Intentional Resting is a new technology to revolutionize humanities approach to rest and rest humanities approach to life.  The techniques of Intentional Resting are simple and will help in assisting humanity with this shift, easefully.  

Rest is a multifaceted topic with many angles, directions and options that could be discussed in depth; however, are very simple in nature.  Most physicians approach rest from the physical aspect and recommend that patients rest the body, by lying down, being inactive or sleeping.   

Intentional Resting is founded on the approach that resting for the inside of the body, by calming the energy systems, will make huge physiological ripples in all aspects of the body.  This calming of the energy systems can be accomplished while continuing in your daily activities.  It can be done while working, playing, doing sports, even while having difficult conversations.  It’s not about lying down, but rather it’s about changing how you perceive yourself experiencing rest and how it works in your body. 

Two major rivals to rest are adrenaline and stress.  Both have similar qualities, in that they have a racy effect on the energy of your body.  They are separate and yet co-exist when similar external stimuli are presented.  Being overworked, anxiousness, deadlines, rushing, all have an urgency to them and that urgency has our bodies call forward the primary mechanisms to dealing with these situations: adrenalin and stress.   

At Wikipedia, adrenaline (sometimes referred to as epinephrine) is categorized as the “fight or flight” hormone.  When you get scared, or excited, adrenaline is secreted in the blood and gets all the muscles and your mind alive, ready for flight or flight if necessary.  Adrenaline plays a central role in the short-term stress reactions.   

Stress occurs when a person perceives a discrepancy (real or not) between the demands of a situation and the person’s abilities (resources) to accomplish those demands (mentally, physically, emotionally, financially).   

Stress hormones are released from the gut area to increase the energy that running around in the body and the hormones increase the energy to such a fast pace that it starts exhausting the physical functions and systems of the body.  Stressed emotions, stressed nervous system, stressed mentally, stressed muscles, stressed relationships and stressed finances are just a few of the ways that we can get stressed.  

If the stress is continued over time, it can lead to or contribute to heart attack’s, blood disorders, nervous breakdowns and a whole lot more.  There are plenty of places that stress affects your well-being and although having some of these ailments might give you plenty to talk about around the water cooler at work, I recommend you finding other interesting topics to share about.     

The origin of the word “rest” comes from Latin: to remain, or to stand.  The dictionary gives several definitions, 1. “cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself or recover strength.”  2.  “Allow, to be inactive in order to regain strength, health or energy.”  Rest is an energetic function and interaction of the body that is in continual flux depending on your awareness, choices, and intent. 

So, how does stress and the definitions of rest relate to each other?  Notice that the definition doesn’t make reference to the body specifically.  To stand, cease work or movement, to be inactive in order to regain health and refresh oneself.  Finding ways to have the overactive energies of the body from adrenalin and stress hormones to stand, cease work or movement… to slow down, relax, to refresh yourself are the keys to rest. 

Stress isn’t as much about the physical movement of the body, but more about the energetic movement of emotions and feelings through the body as a result of thoughts and perceptions of situations.   

These continued heightened states of strain (stress) can show up in the body as illnesses and disease.  There have been many studies that link the physical effects of stress on the body, for example, increased blood pressure, nervous disorders, anxiety, exhaustion, sleep disorders and all have been linked to stress. 

There are plenty of ways to stress out including physically, mentally, emotionally, even spiritually and fewer ways to rest or to drop off this adrenaline charged cycle.  Reducing adrenaline and stress hormones surging from your gut is a function of rest.  If the energy of the body is in a restful state, then that rested state ripples out into the physical aspects of the body, therefore reducing adrenaline and stress hormones.  

Rest can be a powerful friend and ally to help calm you and regain strength as you go about your day, especially while standing or doing activities like exercise, and sports.  Resting from the inside out, rather than the outside in is the truest application of rest.  Real rest begins by being quiet inside first and then to have that quietness or inner stillness move to the outside through your muscles and tissues, eventually through your whole body.  Resting with intention adds to the effectiveness of rest;  Intentional Resting combines intention with rest in a powerful calming way that soothes the body and invites inner stillness.
