One of the foundations of working with trauma and unpleasant past experiences that can drive addiction is safety.

It helps someone to understand themselves and why they do certain things that may drive unhealthy patterns of behaviour and addiction.
iRest® offers tools and practices that naturally help to regulate a dysregulated nervous system caused by trauma and unpleasant experiences.
Become your own loving parent and caring inner voice of kindness and compassion. These practices can help someone to respond maturely to life situations rather than reacting from a hurt inner child or wounded place and a dysregulated nervous system.
The courses helps someone to understand the law of opposites in thoughts, feelings and emotions. This can help violent angry people recognise the polarities they are caught up in to then find the opposite and a sense of calmness, peace and compassion.
Inspired by meditation, these practices can help someone to develop a connection to an undamaged part of themselves. A part of us that is free from the prison of the mind, free from the trap of difficult thoughts and feelings or unpleasant emotions.
The courses and practices explore the relationship between thoughts, feelings, emotions and the connection with the body and the breath and help align with that. It can help someone to understand themselves better in order to change their internal negative view of the world based on their core limiting beliefs they have formed from their past by challenging them.
This has been a life changing experience and enabled me to deal with past trauma and to see myself and the world for how it is. Grateful beyond words of the clear way Paul teaches these steps and the beautiful meditations which I use frequently, a toolbox for life, physically, mentally, emotionally allowing a freedom within to be released, a safety within whoever and wherever you are, regardless of your situation. It s an ongoing part of my life now.
Paul’s teaching style gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into the iRest® practice with nurturing & heart felt support. He allows you to go at your pace and rhythm, whilst giving opportunities & space to ask questions.
The pre-recorded material allows someone to go at their own pace as there is a lot of material and information to digest. But doing it regularly over 8 weeks can help to develop discipline with practicing.
The course is experiential, realising that deeper change occurs through practicing and feeling rather than just having an intellectual concept of it.
Recovery isn’t just about changing what we do. It’s about becoming aware of what is happening to us, around us and between us.
As awareness grows, so does our ability to choose. We can begin to recognise the stories and conditioning that drives our reactions, we can regulate the nervous system when we get overwhelmed, and discover a deeper, undamaged awareness beneath the changing experiences of life. Through meditation, subtle breath practices and compassionate self-enquiry, recovery becomes something we don’t just understand.. we experience it.
The course is designed for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of themselves, particularly those who are caught up in unhealthy patterns of behaviour or reactive states that they want to understand and manage differently.
It is particularly suited to people in addiction recovery and 12-step programmes, while it’s also suitable for anyone wanting to explore past trauma, emotional pain and the survival patterns or unhealthy behaviour that can come from them.
For those working a 12-step programme, the course can support your Step 11 practice, deepening a connection with a Higher Power and developing, a feeling of inner comfort and the experience of becoming your own loving parent and inner voice of compassion.
You don’t need any previous meditation experience. Whether you’re new to meditation, an experienced practitioner or somewhere in between, what matters most is an attitude of honesty, openness, curiosity and a willingness to explore your experience.
