It is a very commonly used word to advise all of us to rest. The end result is restfulness. Like stillness , it is a stage of our body. I felt it when I do the " dead man pose" in yoga practice. The result is a sinking feeling of our body resting on the floor and a total relaxation and our mind goes deep into a resting stage. No feeling, no movement , no thoughts and a complete merging of the body into the earth and melt into one.
It is never easy to do that but sometimes It just happen that you achieve the completeness of the rest and you totally entered into a non-existent stage. You are no more existing as you have merged into the environment or into nature. You have just disappeared and you have no knowledge. A total pitch black and you are gone.
Some people will just say that it is just like a deep sleep as body and mind just switch off. But, in the total stage of complete restfulness, it is a bit more than a deep sleep. A total relaxation and after the sleep, you could feel rejuvenated or totally refreshed as if you are reborn. A feeling of a complete new self.
In Yoga, a dead man pose, is to call on your body and all the muscles including our breath to relax and you get the feeling that you bones touches the floor and even feeling that your whole body is sinking into the ground as your physical self merged with nature and become one. Eventually, you doze off but when you are awake, you could feel that you are reborn and just break away from nature. It is an amazing feeling of a bird just hatched from the egg and start to fly . A new life, a new direction and a new day . Finally, a new beginning .
The process of merging with nature helps the body and the mind to repair itself and re-charged our depleted energy to come as a conditioned body and mind. If we can do it often, it is not only anti-aging but a new force to controlled our re-action to life's problems and in charge of our emotions and thinking.
Have a good and nice journey into total rest.
Namaste.
