USING YOUR MAP<br />

The journey back to you happens when you use your<br />

map alongside The R.E.S.T Process.<br />

Before we dive into the R.E.S.T process let’s look at<br />

some map basics:<br />

POSITIONING<br />

It is important to have your map open in front of you<br />

as you work through the R.E.S.T. Process because:<br />

Seeing<br />

You are learning to become a witness to your own<br />

habitual patterns. Your map allows you to see the<br />

light and shadow parts of your nature in one place<br />

and helps focus your concentration by providing a<br />

container for all that you are. As you work with your<br />

map you will see connections patterns and recurring<br />

themes with a new perspective and awareness.<br />

Listening<br />

Working with your map is a form of deep listening.<br />

Through questioning, listening and acknowledging<br />

you will become an explorer, charting territory both<br />

strange and familiar. In each encounter with your<br />

map you will listen for the new and the steadfast,<br />

bring back learning and resolutions and listen for the<br />

wisdom they hold.<br />

Working with the map enables you to be playful with<br />

the unconscious and to let things come up to the<br />

surface as you gaze. The R.E.S.T. Process works in<br />

the same way as hearing a piece of music, seeing a<br />

painting or watching a movie. It is beyond the<br />

cognitive mind, the things you are aware of, and<br />

works directly with the unconscious. This brings<br />

unexpected epiphanies, ‘aha!’ moments and<br />

connections into your awareness that allow you to<br />

see and understand yourself and your experiences<br />

more clearly.
