Type of resource: Conference Presentations and Papers
Abstract: Research shows 1 in 4 Australian adults are survivors of childhood trauma. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I lived for years experiencing states of emotional and body flashbacks that resulted in Complex PTSD. Once I discovered the regular practice of IREST Yoga Nidra, these distressing states disappeared. I came back to my body for the first time in my life and got in touch with my inherent sense of well-being, safety and resourcefulness. My life permanently, positively transformed. IREST is an evidenced based form of treatment used for people with depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, drug dependency and PTSD. Research shows regular IREST practice helps to increase happiness and energy levels, decrease stress, improve sleep and strengthens our resilience to deal with day to day life. I’m now a Level 1 Teacher in Training for IREST through the Integrative Restoration Institute. I’m passionate about sharing my story as I believe it’s our birthright to feel our natural states of peace, joy and aliveness. IREST Yoga Nidra is a powerful tool that can help us to heal our childhood traumas so that we may all learn to thrive in life.
