Rest, relaxation, and restoration aren't luxuries; they're vital biological processes essential for our well-being. When we truly rest, our body's nervous system shifts from a stressed state to one that accelerates healing and regeneration, promoting optimal physiological functioning and profound growth. Research consistently shows that deep rest is critical for everyone, regardless of age, background, or lifestyle.
