Rest heals.

Rest is so much more than relaxation and sleep.

Rest is a break from the normal routines of life, an opportunity for ceremony, to see the sacred in the mundane and the sacred in the glorious.

Rest is having the support we need from others so we can share the load and lay down our burdens.

Rest is regulating our nervous systems.

We need Rest and Restoration in every aspect of our lives.

One of the definitions of Rest is:

"To be placed or supported so as to stay in a specified position". 

Restfed interprets this 'specified postion' as our true essence; our vibrant health and joy - that which is buried by life's challenges.

Rest then in all its forms is a bolster and means of Restoration.

But for many of us there is 'work' to do before we can be Restfed - fed from the medicine of Rest.

Restfed is based on the understanding that we need to feel Safe before we can begin to access true Rest.

Restfed's healing services are underpinned by the understanding that most of us developed patterns and coping strategies in childhood that gave rise to limiting beliefs and conditioned behaviours. We feel unworthy of love and having our basic needs met so we abandon ourselves in various ways and put other people first.  We may actively engage in behaviours that make us even more unwell; exhausted yet unable to Rest.

Restfed's first task then is meet you where you are at. We will dig up the crystal that is you and clean off the earth and poo and whatever other debris might be clinging to you. We will embrace you as whole and perfect just as you are. Not broken, not lacking anything, not less than, not too much of anything. 

We then find an ‘in’, a chink in the armour, so you can begin to build momentum as we work on dismantling these beliefs and behaviours. And when you commit to implementing small, positive habits and actually stick with them, you get a rush of endorphins, which fosters more self-care, and the spiral of healing and joy begins. 

Rest can then work its magic.
