The 10-Minute Reset: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)

​When you're in a high-demand role, your brain often gets locked in a state of high-frequency Beta waves. We call this Cognitive Static, a fragmented, chaotic state of attention that drains your energy and stifles your innovation.
 

Simply "stopping" isn't enough to clear it. You need to proactively trigger the Relaxation Response.
 

What is NSDR?

NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) is a quantified technique designed to move your nervous system from a state of intense output into a "wakeful hypometabolic state." Unlike sleep, which is passive, this guided meditation helps you to intentionally:
 

• Drop heart rate and reduce muscle tension in minutes.

• Clear cortisol and other stress-related chemicals.

• Shift brainwaves from chaotic Beta into restorative Alpha and Theta patterns.
   

The Neural ROI

This isn't just about feeling calm. It’s about biological renewal and building long-term resilience. By using this 10-minute Reset, you are engaging in a targeted body scan that trains your interoception, the ability to sense stress before it becomes a bottleneck.

Research shows that consistent practice can physically weaken the Amygdala (your stress centre) while strengthening the Prefrontal Cortex (the centre for leadership and focus).
 

Access the Reset

Find a position where you feel fully supported, either sitting or lying down, and follow the invitational prompts.

There is nothing to achieve and nothing to solve. Just a strategic pause to return you to peak clarity.
 

Why NSDR works

​​

• Science-Backed:
  Grounded in the research of Dr. Herbert Benson (Harvard) and the British School of Meditation.
   

• Zero "Woo-Woo":
  No fluff, just physiological recalibration.
   

• Sustainable Performance:
  Build the capacity to recover in real-time so you can lead with empathy, creativity, and unrivaled attention.
