WHAT IS THE REST AND RESTORE PROTOCOL® (RRP)?
The Rest and Restore Protocol® (RRP) is a music-based listening experience offered as an educational and wellness-oriented program. RRP emphasizes rest, pacing, and body awareness and is designed to support experiential learning around stress, safety, and capacity.
RRP sessions are offered within an educational framework and are not medical care, psychotherapy, or mental health treatment.
HOW RRP IS USED?
RRP involves listening to structured music sequences in a quiet, supportive environment. The experience is passive and does not require effort, analysis, or problem-solving.
Participants are encouraged to approach listening with curiosity and choice, noticing sensations, comfort, and tolerance for rest and stillness over time.
WHAT YOU DO DURING LISTENING
Listening is the primary activity. If complete stillness is uncomfortable, you may choose a gentle, low-demand activity such as:
drawing or coloring
knitting or crocheting
simple puzzles
self-massage
folding laundry
doodling
using a fidget
gentle breathing
spending quiet time with a pet
resting with an object from nature
All activities are optional and based on individual preference.
MUSIC STRUCTURE
You will listen to the same music tracks during each session. Tracks are organized into progressive levels and are experienced at a pace guided by comfort and tolerance.
