When stress is ongoing, the nervous system can become stuck in survival mode. The answer is not to fight the stress response, but to create the conditions that allow your nervous system to settle back into rest mode. Like a frightened horse, your nervous system simply needs the right conditions to return to rest.

In REST: Horse Whisper Your Way Back Home, Lucy Fleetwood brings together Ayurveda, the Solution Focused Approach and Non-Sleep Deep Rest to help you understand stress and support your nervous system's return to rest.

Inside this pocketbook, you'll discover:

• What happens when stress causes your nervous system to shift out of the rest state and what to do about that
• How stress affects your physical and mental wellbeing
• How the Solution Focused Approach to Non-Sleep Deep Rest can support the nervous system's return to rest
• How everyday Ayurveda supports this process
• An easy step-by-step process that you can use for yourself

Whether you are experiencing ongoing stress, burnout, fatigue, recovery after illness, stress-related digestive challenges or simply longing to feel more grounded and connected, this book offers a gentle path back to balance.

Just like a horse whisperer, you can learn how to whisper to your nervous system: safe now.

REST is the beginning of the Quiet Roots journey. Through the Quiet Roots community and ongoing resources, you can continue exploring nervous system support, Solution Focused practice, Non-Sleep Deep Rest and Ayurveda beyond the pages of this book.
