Stress is one of the major contributors to illness in society today. Unfortunately because stress mostly affects us as individuals, we find it easy to deny; to buckle down and take on an extra load and wait for the weekend; to unwind with alcohol; or to just go into low gear and ignore the steps towards a healthier life.
Because stress is cumulative, the impact of stress is often ignored - the long-term result of which is a slow breakdown in physical and emotional wellbeing. There are positive ways that each of us can combat stress though, without resorting to harmful habits.
Chiva-Som's Inner Peace retreat is centred on the simple mantra "Calm the Mind, Move the Body". The first step is to learn some simple meditation techniques. Just a few minutes of mindfulness is enough to start to turn off the harmful chemistry created by stress. Additionally, exercise at any level is one of the strongest stress-busters there is. Private sessions with our personal trainers can introduce you to a routine that suits you, and which ideally can become a sustainable habit - whether it's Thai boxing or a power walk.
Longer retreats include relaxing massages and therapies to help you learn what it's like to really unwind - including our famous Aquatic therapy! Finally from our 10 night retreat onwards a Naturopathic Consultation will give you insights from the world of Complementary Medicine on how to manage stress though diet therapy, herbal therapy etc.
Take charge of your stress now, learn to defuse it and spend more time enjoying life. View the 2012 Chiva Som brochure for more information.
