On my last trip to Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita, I got the opportunity to tour the resort’s Thalassotherapy Center. Here are some of tid-bits I learned from my visit to the only certified center in North America.

Thalassotherapy is based on the use of a variety of marine elements to promote health and wellbeing. The therapeutic benefits of Thalassotherapy have been recognized for thousands of years by many ancient Mediterranean civilizations and recently validated by modern scientific studies and the European medical establishment. Thalassotherapy treatments are not only sensually stimulating, but are also highly recommended to relieve stress, detoxify the body, help with circulation problems and many more.

Zoëtry Paraiso’s center offers a wide variety of Thalasso programs. Here are some of the ones I was dying to try:

Thalasso Slimming and Anti-Cellulite Cure—Through a variety of steps this program is designed to have sliming results in as little as six days. Who wouldn’t want to come back from vacation looking fitter than when you left?

Thalasso Serenity and Anti-Stress Program—Allows guests to put their minds and bodies at rest in three to six days through a variety of treatments. You may believe that vacation is enough to relax and distress you, but after you see what is involved in this program you will know that you have never been truly relaxed before.

Restore your body to a state of harmony through Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita’s Thalasso Center & Spa’s indoor Jacuzzi Spa.

Does this path have a heart?

Look at every path closely and deliberately, and ask yourself this critical question: does this path have a heart? If your answer is yes, than the path is good. If your answer is no, than this path is of no use. This may seem simple but until each of us learns to look at every path this way, our health, life, sleep, stress levels, weight and general mood are all affected.

The Wills System and the Laws of Love has developed a program that helps guests increase happiness, heal sorrow and regret and bond them in healthy, life-enhancing relationships. In this program, we teach participants how to sue these simple yet powerful laws of love, which allow them to form better relationships with their friends, lovers, parents, children, coworkers and even strangers.

I have personally experienced this in the last three months of my life and would have never been able to move on without these techniques that I worked on for so many years to help both you and myself   The power of the heart plus, the mind body connection that only The Wills System has been able to show so many, enabled me and now you to do this.

Are you ready to be young again? I hope so! Come follow us.

As founder of The Wills System, a program based on achieving optimal wellness naturally, I see a variety of individuals, couples and families dealing with issues that rob their lives of health and happiness. In my 16 years of research, I have gone beyond conventional western medicine to find the root cause of why our bodies and mind react adversely to the many stressors in our environment and life.

At Zoëtry, each of our guests receive a comprehensive, multi-dimensional wellness regimen that will help them learn to eliminate stress, quiet their minds, return to normal sleep patterns, resolve weight issues, increase memory and intellect, eliminate pain, reconnect with themselves and their love ones.

By offering you a variety of specialized experiences, we can target your issues and help you obtain the results you seek. Our popular “Weight Control” experience will inspire you to attain and maintain an optimal and healthy weight. My staff and I guide you through new approaches to weight management that are custom designed for you. This approach goes far beyond the present day’s fads, trends and misconceptions such as “wine is a health food.”

Most people don’t know that red wine can keep anyone from obtaining the optimal weight loss they desire. Nearly 30 years ago, David J.A. Jenkins, MD, PhD, DSc, ranked many common foods on a 100-point scale. The higher the value, the greater effect a food or drink would have on increasing the amount of glucose in the bloodstream—an unfavorable result for both diabetics and those looking to shed pounds.

Red wine rates high on this 100-point scale, causing the body to glycate and stop the natural weight loss process. The pancreas has to produce a lot of insulin to take the sugar from the wine out of the bloodstream. This excess sugar goes to fat cells to be stored for a rainy day. The body then turns this stored sugar into free fatty acids that should be released back into the bloodstream when the blood-sugar level is low. However, since insulin blocks release of free fatty acids or our stored sugar, the body can’t get to its energy and the person eats more causing glucose levels to go up again. At the end of the day, weight has been gained from storing sugar in the fat cells.

In my next blog, I will discuss sleeping complaints and provide tips on sleeping more soundly that will work for everyone.

Taking a vacation is the perfect way to relax, but, unfortunately, most people can’t be on vacation everyday. Here are three yoga moves that will help you recreate the relaxing feeling you get on vacation, even when you are in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

1. Cross your legs then rotate the ankle of the foot raised from the ground, making small circles with the points of the feet. Rotate in a clockwise direction as you breath in, and then switch to counter clockwise when you exhale. Do this 3 to 6 times then cross your legs in the opposite direction and do the same move with the other foot.

2. With both feet placed on the floor and your back supported against a seat breathe in deeply. While inhaling slowly contract the muscles of the feet, the legs, the thighs and then the abdomen. Breathe out and relax your muscles. Repeat 3 to 6 times

3. While breathing in, consciously contract all the muscles of the body starting with the feet and working upwards. As you breathe out slowly relax everything.
