Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas launches a
groundbreaking Grow a New Body program, which lays the foundation for a healthy
body that ages slowly and joyfully. The aim is to help guests discover how
their health span can equal their life span. Benefits include detoxifying the
body, turning on the genes for health, protecting and upgrading the brain,
resetting fight-or-flight and turning on the production of the bliss-creating
molecules, while shedding the years of old programming.
Whereas many spa programs focus on physical or mental well-being, or a
combination of both, Grow a New Body pushes the boundaries into less visible
fields such as sacred energy and reconnection. It brings together cutting-edge
neuroscience and biology with ancient wisdom of shamans who recognized many
millennia ago that the body is one system, not a collection of parts that can
be medicated and replaced when they go wrong. Shamans are masters of prevention
and believe that it takes the power of Spirit to renew the body. This is One
Spirit Medicine that states that the best way to heal and maintain health is to
grow a new body on a regular basis.
The series of retreats is launched in collaboration with Dr. Alberto Villoldo,
a best-selling author and medical anthropologist with a Ph.D. in psychology, a
teacher and healer, who studied the shamanic healing practices of the Amazon
and the Andes for more than 25 years. They will be available at Six
Senses Kaplankaya in Turkey, Six
Senses Douro Valley in Portugal and Six
Senses Krabey Island in Cambodia on special dates from June to November
2019. Detoxifying
the body and switching on the genes for health
The human body risks becoming a toxic wasteland as environmental poisons and
manufacturing waste continue to find their way onto dinner plates and into
drinking water. Add genetically modified foods, antibiotics, refined grain- and
sugar-heavy meals to the mix, and the trillions of gut-friendly bacteria fail
to thrive or produce essential neurotransmitters.
With 90 percent of human DNA belonging to microbes, it is important to start by
repairing the bodys microflora to restore this symbiotic relationship, which
supports digestion, synthetizes vitamins and boosts the immune system.
Intermittent fasting (abstaining from food for short periods of time) is used
as a way to turn on the fat-burning systems and repair mechanisms, while
bringing about detoxification at a cellular level. It triggers the production
of stems cells in the brain and in every organ of the body, while awaking the
higher neural networks that allow guests to have an experience of Spirit and connection.
During the retreat, the daily menu includes nutritious smoothies, fresh,
nutrient-dense fibrous vegetables with low protein meals, few carbs, plenty of
nuts and seeds and healthy fats, giving the body the opportunity to switch on
the longevity genes and turn-on the production of stem cells. Together with
cutting-edge formulated probiotics and neuro-nutrients, guests get on the fast
track to repairing the gut and maintaining brain-friendly eating without
feeling hungry.
Resetting
the natural clock
At around the age 35, vital repair and regeneration systems in the body begin
to decline. Production of the growth hormone that builds muscles and keeps the
skin youthful and nearly grinds to a halt. Wrinkles start to appear, and
healing takes longer than usual, while the body becomes deficient in many
longevity-ensuring nutrients.
Daily hikes and immersion in nature, yoga, oxygen altitude-training sessions,
LED therapy and IV drips, combined with detoxification, fasting and a diet high
in phytonutrients, switch on the antioxidant systems inside the cell that
repair mitochondria (the power plants in the cell) and support the repair and
regeneration of brain cells.
Within a few days, the brain fog will clear, sleeping becomes sounder, skin
tone improves, and energy levels increase.
Transforming
toxic emotions and resetting fight-or-flight mode
Many of todays health problems are caused by unhealed emotions, limiting
beliefs, constant overstimulation and an overactive fight-or-flight system.
However, it is possible to change these crippling internal narratives by
repairing the HPA axis, which controls the response to danger and is involved
in regulating digestion, mood, sexuality, energy and the immune system.
Daily practices are geared towards breaking the adrenalin addiction, boosting
the production of bliss molecules, encouraging creative dreaming, discovering
how to release the old, fear-based beliefs and approach life with faith and
conviction even when facing uncertainty.
Healing
the luminous energy body
Surrounding the physical body is the luminous energy field that organizes the
physical body in the same way that a magnet organizes iron-filings on a piece
of glass and informs the cells and organs how to live in healthy harmony. It
can be thought of as the software programs essential for repair and
regeneration. This biomagnetic field that doesnt end where the skin ends, it
extends to the farthest reaches of universe.
During the retreat, guests are invited to explore shamanic energy medicine
practices that let go of the emotional dramas that run in the family and
discover original and creative life stories. As they release the imprints for
physical disease and erase the dramatic stories stored in the luminous energy
field, the body and emotions can start to repair.
