Vets iRest Private Forum

The Vets iRest Forum above is a closed online community for Vets who have been working with me using the iRest techniques for alleviating P.T.S.D. Thank you, in advance, for sharing your experience, strength & hope. This is a give and take tool for finding and giving support whenever you need it - any time, day or night. It beats having to wait until dawn on the nights when your mind is on overdrive.

This is a free membership site for self-directed practice and inspiration.

We provide resources for the study of three powerful practices for emotional and physical well-being: FELDENKRAIS, & iRest Meditation & Qigong. These are simple, profound vehicles for self-care, mindfulness, and spontaneous inspiration to alleviate the universal tendency to live on autopilot. New studies in neurology claim we are only conscious of 5% of our decisions! Here, you will find a wealth of support for an expansive life...for perhaps it is consciousness that really moves you. Consider this, and please join us in the incredible and often surprising journey of self-directed awareness...

"Put the psyche in motion, and it will heal itself." - Gabrielle Roth

"I struggled to understand ad reconcile how Western civilization, having achieved some outstanding accomplishments, could so often contribute to rather than alleviate human suffering...To remake the world, it seemed we needed to rethink it. After all, solutions depend on how problems are framed, the context within which they exist...Chinese medicine echos the logic of quantum physics, which suggests that we exist in a relative, process-oriented universe in which there is no 'objective' world separable from living subjects.The essential questions cannot be resolved by measuring static 'things'; rather, answers become stories about interactions and relationships. Within this paradigm contradictions are not only sanctioned, but prevail, and truth is purely contextual. In contrast with our conventional Western tendency to draw shapr lines of distinctions, Chinese thought does not strictly determine the boundaries between rest and motion, time and space, mind and matter, sickness and health..."

"Any life worth living is a continual allegory -- and very few eyes can see the mystery of that life...it is not the answers, but the mystery that leads us on."  - Keats

This is the epitomy of all these practices; they unveil the mystery of each life individually, revealing that which makes each life unique, special and intriguing, a journey worth taking that only you can take. - A note from Gabrielle
