Conscious Mental Rest^© (CMR) is a 100% natural process for gaining profound rest for the mind-body system. The experience - while sitting comfortably with your eyes closed - is sometimes referred to as just being — being awake, or conscious, yet without a lot of 'busy' mental activity.

CMR is one of the two keys to happiness that I personally use twice every day.

CMR allows the mind-body system to settle down and take time out from today's hectic life of incessant activity, noise and stress. It is experienced for about 20 to 25 minutes twice a day.

The benefits of this form of regular twice-daily mental rest then flow naturally into your life to provide an overall enhancement of your experience of life, health and happiness. These changes are subjectively similar to the benefits of meditation as widely publicized in many research studies and health journals.

Why is CMR desirable?

Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul. ~ Democritus

In practical terms, people who have regularly experienced CMR (opens new half-window) have reported improvements in various areas of their lives. Here are some of them:

• greater happiness
  
• more mental clarity and creativity
  
• feeling less stressed
  
• improved sleep patterns
  
• a more relaxed way of handling difficult situations
  
• improved energy levels
  
• greater self-confidence
  
• a deeper understanding of life
  

CMR is different from sleep

The life improvements experienced are changes the people concerned did not experience from sleep alone. This reinforces in a practical way that CMR offers a different type of rest from sleep - a rest that facilitates the release of deep-seated stresses in the system.

So there seems no doubt that in addition to good quality regular sleep, resting the mind in the waking state throuh CMR can improve our quality of life.

The reality is, however, that most people are not aware of this, and therefore are unwittingly depriving themselves of a natural way to enhance their lives in terms of health and happiness.

And, of those who have heard about 'meditation', many are often not attracted to the somewhat Eastern or esoteric nature of many of the meditation techniques offered today.

CMR is suitable for everyone

Conscious Mental Rest^©, on the other hand, is suitable for anyone and everyone, no matter what your beliefs and lifestyle might be.

For example, with CMR, there is:

• No guru
• No tradition or lineage of 'masters'
• No initiation or puja ceremony
• No mantra to use
• No group to 'join'
• No need to sit cross-legged or in the lotus position
• No incense or other trappings
• No yoga postures to perform
• No special breathing required
• No dietary recommendations or requirements
• No philosophy or belief system to follow
• No meditation music, singing or chanting involved
• No sound tones or vibrations to use

CMR is very natural and effortless, and totally non-intrusive.

It is because of this that it can be enjoyed with comfort and ease by anyone - whether they be Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, agnostics or atheists.

No one need feel that their own faith or non-faith is in any way at risk of being compromised through the experience of Conscious Mental Rest^©.
