This book by Caroline Myss is a bestseller and one of the best descriptions of the ancient explanation of the Chakras, “the energy system” within us. She describes what is quite difficult for us modern westerners to understand, as the Ayurvedic system is explained using terminology of the 5 elements; earth, water, space, wind and fire. The elements were also used in Greek Medicine, Chinese and other old philosophies, to describe the different characteristics of different “forces” or energies within us, nature and the universe. All these outer and inner forces affect us, and we affect the outer.
Caroline Myss is a good translator of this system and she compares it to modern medicine to give us an understanding of how the mind and body is one, and that every cell has an energy which is affected by its surroundings and our thoughts. The Chakras are like hubs and routers of these forces and if blockages occur followed by some trauma(s), big or small, and we have destructive and negative feelings, emotions and thoughts, we can get blockages that will stay until these are de-blocked.
The only way to de-block is to think and feel good. So how do you get there? First you take away the cause of the blockage (observe-release, see previous blogs), second you nurture and heal. How you nurture and heal is totally up to you but lead words are, as always, these ones: interest, communication, understanding, exploring, learning & evolving, forgiving, compassion, caring, affection, help & support, intimacy, authenticity, honesty, non-judgment, acceptance, kindness, joy & laughter, etc. And what is all this?
Love, of course! Love is not to judge, blame, change or possess. The fastest way to de-block our Chakras is love. If you don’t know how to love yourself, think about how you would love your child, your mum, a sibling, a friend or even your dog, and turn it around to yourself and do the same. That is the closest we can get to unconditional love. Caroline Myss helps us understand how to do all of this in her fantastic book.

O•live Retreat demystifies health and in the process it stands clear that health is far from drugs or injections made from petrochemicals.
First we make sure you know yourself, your body and what healthy means to you. Then we continue to a good cleanse on all levels, Body·Mind·Soul.
With over 15 years in this business and, as Conde Nast Travel and some others put it "top-ranked" health retreat, we base our work on own O• method, derived from a multitude of methods, both old as Ayurveda and new as Orthomolecular Medicine. You'll get healthier in all areas of life (as we don't think one can leave health at home while going to work and we can't say we are healthy if we destroy our bodies over the weekend or vice versa). One is either healthy or not, and what that means can only be defined by each and one and if that is to indulge in the unhealthy stuff it's because it's really worth it for the only judge - you.
The key training for professionals (individuals and groups) is focused on enhanced productivity through self-inspiration and self-care. As a high equity manager in the finance sector put it - it's all about staying highly inspired. We couldn't agree more and we know how that biochemistry looks like.
Independent studies find that 96% of our guests become more healthy and stay healthy after 6 months, 82% stay healthy after a year. This is a better rate than anyone other treatment or training, as far as we know. Our teachings are based on modern science, and ancient evidence based techniques, and a lot of personal experience with trial and error, in the field of being a healthy human. and healing.
We start all training with a health assessment and by asking what healthy means to each one? How you define it is what counts, but one thing is similar for all no matter what you learnt - a natural, anti-inflammatory lifestyle is everything we need (without drugs) but many things our society finds "normal" cause inflammation and therefore diseases.

For those who are healthy and ready to take their own health out to the world, do more for others and the Earth or have a story to tell we offer Kindfullness projects, support, editing, writing, marketing, translation and publishing.(www.hardonkarma.com)
