September 5 - November 27
(including arrival and departure days)
You will learn how to guide people to activate their body’s selfhealing powers.
The program is based on the Wheel of Health, which offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to health by combining several elements in such a way that the body’s self healing powers are activated in a simple and natural way without the need of extreme measures.
A person is perceived as a whole of body, mind, spirit and relationships. Focus is on the person rather than on treating a disease.
Our body has an amazing capacity to heal, as it replaces around 300 billion cells a day. Good living conditions & proper nutrition creates healthy cells.
Combining the modern Western scientific approach (epigenetics) with the Eastern energetic approach provides a simple and effective path to activate the body’s self-healing powers – both in regard to physical and mental health.
When Bruce Lipton showed, many years ago, that cloned stem cells develop into muscle cells, bone cells or fat cells depending on which nutrition they receive, it became clear that genes are not destiny. The science of Epigenetics confirmed that changing a cell’s nutrition changes its quality.
Our cells are nourished by our blood. By combining the elements in the Wheel of Health we can easily improve our blood quality using natural methods & products.
