Deep Rest 1 — Practitioner

Deep Rest is an energy system founded by Yücel Durmaz, who created and programmed its energies specifically for this system. Its subject is sleep and rest through the night. The system accompanies you as you turn the minutes before bed into a calm transition and rest through the night.

This course is the first of three levels: here you learn to practise on yourself; treating others comes at Level 2, attunement and teaching at Level 3.

A gentle passage from day into night

The level's symbol describes the day's thoughts settling slowly into the body, from largest to smallest, and the wave inside growing still; above it is the protecting cover of the night, below it the ground that holds the body.

Sleep cannot be forced; this energy does not force either, it only invites. A short practice at the same time each evening often gives more than a long one now and then. Many people find their evenings feel softer with this practice.

What you learn on the course

• Programming in five steps, from intention to closing
• A 25–30 minute full self-treatment and a five-to-ten-minute evening practice
• Programming your bed and bedroom for the night
• The 21-day clearing and a short sleep diary
• Practices for situations such as waking at 3 am, time differences or shift work

Who is it for?

For people whose minds will not quieten in the evening and who carry the day into bed, for anyone who wants a short, regular evening routine, and for shift workers and frequent travellers. There is no prerequisite. Attunements are given only to people aged 18 or over.

Deep Rest is a complementary energy practice; it does not replace a doctor, a psychologist or medication.

The attunement and afterwards

The attunement is given at a distance: at the time we agree, in your own time zone, you sit or lie down somewhere quiet. Your handbook and a certificate with your lineage arrive by email, and you can write to me with anything on your mind.
