DO YOU SUFFER FROM CHRONIC PAIN?
\nDO YOU SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION\, ANXIETY\, PTSD OR MOOD SWINGS?
\nARE YOU OVERWHELMED\, AND STRESSED WITH WORK?
\nPAIN IS INEVITABLE. Unfortunately\, many o
f us will\, at some point
\nduring our lifetime\, experience signific
ant physical and/or
\npsychological pain. And when pain does arrive\,
our built-in
\nconditioned response will be to move away from the so
urce of the pain.
\nBut what happens if we cannot escape pain? Must o
ur life be filled
\nwith abject suffering?
SUFFERING IS OPTIO
NAL. While pain is inevitable\, suffering is
\noptional. Suffering on
ly arises when we resist pain. When our
\nresistance to pain is zero\
, suffering is also zero\, no matter the size
\nof the pain. And when
resistance fades away to zero\, what remains as
\npain can then be d
ealt with. When we realize the full impact that
\nresistance plays in
dealing with pain\, we understand how even small
\namounts of pain c
an give rise to tremendous suffering if we are
\nstrongly resisting i
ts presence in our life. The good news is that
\nthere are methods fo
r dealing with acute and chronic suffering and
\npain that have been
developed and refined over the millenia.
\nUnfortunately\, most of us
will only discover these resources after
\nexhausting all other aven
ues of pain relief. iRest\, with reference to
\npain\, is a multi-ste
p protocol that entails welcoming pain while
\nrelinquishing resistan
ce to it. Paradoxically\, suffering ceases\, and
\npain breaks up\, a
nd may even completely dissolve\, when we stop
\nresisting and trying
to avoid or change it\, but instead truly welcome
\npain.
WE LCOMING AND IREST WELCOMING is the fundamental principal underlying the ev idence-based approach of Integrative Restoration – iRest. Welcoming entail s:
\n– Ceasing refusing\, resisting or trying to change or avoid pai
n
\n– Attending to pain by hearing\, listening and directly being wit
h it
\n– Relinquishing the concept ‘pain’\; instead experiencing it a
s a
\nmovement of sensation
\n– Recognizing sensation (the perce
ption of pain) as a movement in
\nawareness
\n– Experiencing awa
reness as well-being that is independent of pain
\n– Perceiving sensa
tion (direct perception of pain)\, well-being and
\nawareness simulta
neously
\n– Observing and describing the sensation of pain with curio
sity\,
\ninterest and precision
\n– Recognizing opposites of emo
tion and belief that are associated
\nwith the pain
\n– Respondi
ng with wisdom and right action to the pain
\n– When pain is truly we
lcomed\, it can miraculously resolve in an
\ninstant. But practically
speaking\, welcoming pain\, and its subsequent
\nresolution\, takes
time\, commitment\, and practice\, patience and
\nperseverance. But t
he good news is that once the skills encompassed in
\niRest are acqui
red\, we attain tools for life that work not only for
\nacute and chr
onic pain\, by for all difficult states of body and mind
\nwe will en
counter during the course of our lifetime.
IREST AS A COMPLIMENTAR Y ADJUNCTIVE MEDICAL (CAM) APPROACH iRest is a complimentary adjunctive me dical (CAM) approach that works in conjunction with any medical regimen or drug-based pain-management system. iRest helps ameliorate pain that medic ation and other pain-management programs are unable to resolve. And iRest can be used as an adjunctive approach to help reduce or even eliminate the use of pain medications.
\nPAIN AS MESSENGER iRest is not merely an
adjunctive approach for
\nresolving pain and suffering. It also resp
ects suffering and pain as
\nimportant messengers that serve as guide
s for enhancing our
\npsychological and physical well-being\, spiritu
al awakening and
\nre-connection to all of life. Suffering arises whe
n we separate from
\nright action\, when we refuse rather than welcom
e pain. Pain is our
\nnervous system’s natural response to internal a
nd external events
\nthat are calling for our attention. It makes sen
se\, then\, that we
\nshould listen and welcome messengers of pain an
d suffering\, which are
\ntrying to orient us to right action with re
spect to the internal or
\nexternal events that are giving rise to th
e messengers of pain and
\nsuffering. When we respond correctly\, suf
fering ceases\, pain
\ndiminishes or entirely dissolves\, and equanim
ity ensues.
Just 45-minutes of iRest Yoga NIdra equates to 4 hours
of sleep. Add
\nor schedule separately a 20-minute Thai Yoga Massage
to further your state of relaxation.
