Rest feels like a gift, a delight. The relaxed muscles, somewhat deeper breathing and a global sense of well-being reflect a more relaxed body-mind.But you can reach that psycho-corporal state by being in action, for example when you are working or fulfilling family responsibilities. Rest in action is a practice in itself.At first, this state is more accessible when at rest and in absolute silence, accompanying the breath with mindfulness. Hence the importance of reserving moments for rest.But, over time, you can practice with short activities such as brushing teeth. This will allow later to train in relaxing the musculature, maintaining a touch of consciousness in the breathing, while interacting with other people.
