"Our human organism is equipped with the best immune system in the world, provided we do not damage it by harming ourselves - consciously or unconsciously. The human body controls all its defenses via the vitamin D system. We detect a vitamin D deficiency in about 70% of our patients residing in Europe, which is a frightening reality! Vitamin D deficiency results from our modern lifestyle - the working and living conditions of people accelerate the deficiency as we spend much more time inside than in daylight. We have also carried out scientific studies on the activity of leukocytes (white blood cells), which are responsible for carrying out the immune defense in our body, before and after WIFI exposure. After blood samples were exposed to WIFI radiation for only 1 hour, their functional efficiency came to a standstill. Therefore, it is recommended to switch off WIFI at night and limiting the exposure during the day to avoid harming the immune system.”

MEET YOUR HEALING GUIDE

Many of our hotels offer a personal consultation with a healing guide, who will help you select the right programs and activities for your needs.

Daily schedule

A healing journey is a step-by-step approach. You are supported by a flexible daily schedule of options that can help lend structure to your stay. For example, in the morning you may choose from yoga or Qi Gong sessions, swimming, fitness, forest walks, meditation or prayers. Throughout the day there are further classes you can choose from and educational sessions you may wish to attend. Take into account your entire being – mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually – and support those parts that you feel need further nourishment and attention.

Morning rituals

Create an intention for your day. Try to always remember your initial goal. Recall what you discussed with your healing guide so that you do not loose your focus. Before your breakfast, choose a morning activity that speaks out to you the most. Moving your body before your first meal gives you a beautiful healthy “kick” for the day and lifts your mood.

Nutrition

Your food should be your medicine. Healing foods are tasteful, very healthy and support your happiness. You can choose to what degree you would like to follow a certain diet – anything from fasting to juicing, or simply making healthy choices.

Therapies

During your stay, you will find some of the most outstanding healing programs available around the world, and enjoy the fruits of the life-long practices and healing modalities of our dedicated practitioners. Your treatments are planned specifically for you and your personal goals, often determined in your consulting session. Most of our Healing Hotels offer a wide variety of choices to help you care for your body and soul.

Lifestyle coaching

It is said that life works out for you the moment you decide to say yes to your own inner truth. In one-on-one sessions, you can look at your life path and see where – often unconsciously – you block the beauty that is waiting to unfold in your life.

Body bliss

Movement has many powerful benefits, not only for your body, but also for your mental health, as it releases stress, enhances your sleep and boosts your mood. The ecstasy of mountain walks, the smell of a forest after a fresh rainfall, an invigorating yoga session, the peace you find after a Qi Gong session, swimming in the ocean or a mountain lake. You name it…you find it…you choose it!

Take your lessons home

This is the key to the long-lasting effects of your stay at a Healing Hotel. On your last day, you will meet again with your healing guide and discuss where you currently stand from a holistic point of view. Further, you will dive deep into what you have learned, as well as breakthroughs and areas that still need attention. This road map will help guide you in your future. The thing is: it is all in your hands. Don’t give up!

Swiss Mountain Clinic, Switzerland

Illness does not develop overnight. Disease is a dynamic building process, developing over time, from a variety of sources. And the body sends signals days, weeks, months and even years before an acute illness develops… This is why the Swiss Mountain Clinic specializes in understanding the root cause of a problem before starting the therapy program with regulative medicine. That means that with any diagnosis they want to understand why and when any condition started to develop; among them conditions like metabolic disorder, autoimmune disease or cancer. This holistic approach is spearheaded by the head physician Dr. med. Petra Wiechel, a physician for naturopathic treatment and biological medicine. Her entire medical spectrum is always focused on identifying the causes of diseases, looking at all the layers of body, mind and soul. Her clear sighted, subtle, holistic and scientific approach is based on her guiding principle: "I do not treat symptoms, I treat the patient. After all, I treat you!”

Ananda in the Himalayas

Ashok Khanna, founder of Ananda in the Himalayas, has been a well-known figure in the hospitality business for decades. In 1989 he envisioned a new kind of hotel where people could go on a journey to personal health, wellness and rejuvenation. He speaks about his journey: ”I traveled the length and breadth of India searching for the location that would embody the soul of Ananda, a location that would bring Ananda to life. I finally found this in the foothills of the Himalayas, the birthplace of Yoga, where people have visited for centuries to be healed and to find rest and rejuvenation. I stuck to ancient Indian virtues, when people understood the balance of nature, the ways of the universe and how the elements affected, not just physical health, but also mental wellbeing. It was always clear to me, that if people achieved harmony within, they would be at peace. This is the very philosophy which brought Ananda in the Himalayas into being, believing that each individual is unique.”
