Retreat Resources

On this page you’ll find a curated selection of optional audio tools to support your detox retreat. I do encourage you to stay offline during your retreat time so nothing here is required. The link will remain available after the retreat, allowing you to stay fully unplugged while you’re here, and explore these resources later if you wish.

Here you’ll find the full retreat manual. Please read it thoroughly before our group meeting on Tuesday. A gentle reminder that this content is private and may not be shared.

Aquí encontrarás el manual completo del retiro. Por favor léelo con atención antes de la reunión del martes. Un recordatorio amable de que este contenido es privado y no puede compartirse.

Throughout your retreat time, you will greatly benefit from prioritising your nervous system- above all else. The more you can truly stop and find rest, the better access you will have to the reparative states required to achieve your program's objectives.

Meditation is not the process of keeping the mind clear of thoughts, meditation is the process of catching the runaway train of the mind, and guiding it back to the present moment. There are so many gifted meditation teachers offering up beautiufl guided mediations that allow you to jouney into the experience of present moment awareness, over and over again. Here are some you may enjoy.

INSIGHT TIMER is an app that prides itself on being “The largest free library of meditations on earth.” There is SO MUCH free and paid content on there now it can be very overwhelming so I’m sharing some of the (free) ones I like, and use regularly.

PS - Once you get comfortable navigating the app, I may want to find the BOOKMARK feature so when you find something you like, you can save it there, creating your own library within the app.

Yoga Nidra, also known as “sleep yoga” is practised while lying down in a warm, comfy and cozy position. Yoga Nidra is more of a mindfulness practice, some call it yogic sleep. There is no movement of the body at all. The practice of Yoga Nidra is a journey of our magical imagination that can be employed in a soft, gentle way while the physical body remains in a sleepy, still, and resting state. There are many techniques and numerous benefits. 

All you need to do is softly listen. Your only “job” is to allow your mind to keep a soft focus on the instruction or guidance while allowing your body to fall into a deep state of relaxation. 

One of the true gifts of Yoga Nidra is that gives the brain the opportunity to practice one of its most powerful states: focused yet relaxed, attentive but calm. Yoga Nidra is very closely related to Neurofeedback in how it trains the brain to stay focused, yet relaxed—the sweet spot of all creativity, productivity, and pleasurable relaxation.

The deep state of relaxation you can achieve during Yoga Nidra will switch on the parasympathetic nervous systems, where all detox systems and cellular repair processes are supported so one a day is a great idea. Yoga Nidra is best listened to with good headphones, but not 100% necessary.

The 4-minute workout is a fantastic way to invigorate the energy and mental body by boosting blood flow. If you can do this a few times a day, you will greatly assist the cells in their regenerative process. The link brings you to youtube, and the actual 4-minute workout starts at minute 3:45.

Shaking activates the parasympathetic nervous system and signals the brain to be calm, relaxed and let go. It also brings huge amounts of prana/Qi energy into the body, and quickly. Try this as a lymphatic booster to start the day, end the day, or anytime.
