The heart muscle cannot deliberately slow itself down to a standstill stop. The heart is responsible for pumping oxygenised blood to all parts of the body, including the brain. The brain is where all processes are controlled. If its not working, you die! :-(
However, if by rest you mean reducing the beats per minute it pumps then that is possible. It is possible for anyone to slow down their heart rate by sitting down, and relaxing. Those who participate in more physical activity have a lower heart rate, as they have expanded their heart, meaning it doesn't work as hard to perform normal bodily functions.
