For some people, the first image that springs into mind when they hear the word meditation is that you are just sitting down saying ommmm with your legs crossed. Contrary to that opinion, meditation is certainly more than that stereotype. You can find insight, bliss and peace with added health and relaxation benefits. It can even change your outlook on life, reducing stress and anxiety. With our meditation retreats this can be possible and we have listed 3 of our best ones for healthy holiday inspiration. From our relaxing wellness retreat in the small island of Phuket in Thailand to the mountains of New Zealand, all our meditation breaks and retreats offer peace and rejuvenation.
Modern life can often leave us very stressed with a hectic job, sleep deprivation or a menagerie of other problems. Improve your mental clarity with a mindfulness retreat at Thanyapura in Thailand. In the culturally rich and luscious island of Phuket lies a mind centre of discovery. Clear your head and thoughts with a private one-on-one mind training session, take part in a private yoga session and unwind with a Thai massage. In addition to the meditating treatments, you can take part in a group mind training session and share your spiritual journeys together. After a week of distressing you will certainly have an improved peace of mind.
