Intentional Resting

Today I came across  Intentional Resting. A couple of interesting self hypnotic affirmative statements designed to heal. And they do.

The idea of resting lies in when you slump into a chair and feel that delicious letting go, arhh body feeling. It’s usually a short but wonderful feeling, so much so that some folks will get up and slump down again, just to feel that lovely drop.

The affirmative part is designed to get you what you want, and the self hypnotic part is how [I think] the thing works. Although the guy that invented this, [Dan Howard ], has not used the idea of self hypnosis. It’s just my idea.

And so to the  2 statements. “I am resting for……,”  “I am resting into….”

So you’d say, “I am resting for my sore knee.” And then you’d notice if that arrhh drop in the chair feeling, happens. Then you could try the other statement…. ”I am resting into my sore knee”, and notice which of the 2 statements feels best.

It’s as simple as that, and I have been finding it works on so much. Go if you’d like to, to his web site http://www.intentionalresting.com . He has lots of little videos, and free stuff and stuff to buy as well. We haven’t bought anything yet, but because this “I am resting thing” works so well, we will be buying something soon.

I wanted to blog this because the idea of resting works so much better than being asked to relax, which doesn’t work so much. I think we have, since being babies, been clear about resting and having a rest, but when asked to relax, it seems that it’s not rest we are being asked to do, so what is it. What is relaxing. And that confusion blocks any suggestion to relax. But being asked to rest is simple, I think. Good luck with this.
