Speaker 2: We've had so many messages asking all about our experience
0:55
Speaker 2: at Eden Health Retreat.
0:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.
0:56
Speaker 1: When we came out of Eating Health Retreat, I thought
0:58
Speaker 1: I'd jump my story straight away, like tell everyone about it,
1:01
Speaker 1: but oh, I just don't want to get cut off
1:03
Speaker 1: after a minute. And I was so in this beautiful
1:05
Speaker 1: energy of just like relaxing and go back to the
1:08
Speaker 1: family and like just processing everything that I'd learned. And
1:11
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just wasn't in the state to
1:14
Speaker 1: do it, but I was like, let's wait to the podcast.
1:15
Speaker 1: We can fully dive into details of our whole experience,
1:18
Speaker 1: what we got out of it, all the cool activities
1:21
Speaker 1: and treatments that we had, the food, Like, there's just
1:23
Speaker 1: so much that happened in that three days.
1:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and while we were there as well, we actually
1:28
Speaker 2: recorded clips in real time, which will be amazing to
1:32
Speaker 2: share with you guys, so you can really feel the experience.
1:34
Speaker 2: And also we give you, guys so many tips and
1:36
Speaker 2: tricks and takeaways and things that we've learned what we've
1:38
Speaker 2: been there, which is really cool.
1:39
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:39
Speaker 1: So even if you never go to eat and which
1:41
Speaker 1: you should, I ever have the opportunity, please do. It's
1:44
Speaker 1: just incredible, absolutely incredible. You'll still get so much out
1:47
Speaker 1: of this episode.
1:48
Speaker 2: You sure will, all right. So we thought with the
1:50
Speaker 2: Share of the week, we'd share some little tips and
1:52
Speaker 2: tricks straight away, all things that we loved or learned
1:56
Speaker 2: at eating with you guys.
1:59
Speaker 1: I had a cohuna massage. You ever can have a
2:03
Speaker 1: cohuna massage. It is I'm going to say the world's
2:06
Speaker 1: best massage that I've ever ever ever had. Maybe it's
2:09
Speaker 1: to do with the person that actually did the treatment though.
2:11
Speaker 1: Her name is Tracy. She was amazing. But this massage
2:15
Speaker 1: is like nothing I've ever experienced before. So that's my
2:18
Speaker 1: share of the week. A kahuna massage perfectly with Tracy though. Yeah,
2:22
Speaker 1: it's so good.
2:23
Speaker 2: So my share of the week was once we got
2:25
Speaker 2: back from eating health retreat, they actually sent you a
2:27
Speaker 2: bunch of recipes to try home, which is really cool
2:30
Speaker 2: as well, because while you're there, you're eating all this
2:32
Speaker 2: really healthy, yummy food, but you don't know how to
2:35
Speaker 2: make it up home. So I have been making on repeat.
2:38
Speaker 2: They're almond and cinnamon cookies. This has literally been like
2:41
Speaker 2: a weekly thing in our house. So they're absolutely delicious.
2:44
Speaker 2: Down in the show notes below, we'll leave you guys
2:47
Speaker 2: a recipe so you guys can take that away and.
2:49
Speaker 1: A toast in the forum. Yeah. Perfect. Yeah. So when
2:52
Speaker 1: we first arrived, we drove in instantly, you just know
2:56
Speaker 1: you're coming to this beautiful place of instant relaxation. Arriving
2:59
Speaker 1: at Eden, Oh my gosh, driving in, I feel like
3:01
Speaker 1: I'm in a different country.
3:02
Speaker 2: Yeah. She runs me a farm.
3:04
Speaker 1: It's just so like relaxing. Yeah, smells just so much nature.
3:09
Speaker 1: Which I feel like I'm really craving at the moment.
3:11
Speaker 1: I feel like I really need that to just sent out. Yes.
3:15
Speaker 2: And as soon as we got through no signal of
3:17
Speaker 2: the phone, detox has has.
3:21
Speaker 1: Everyone's so friendly here too. They are, yeah, concreeted with
3:24
Speaker 1: a warm tea and a warm towel, and everyone knows
3:27
Speaker 1: my name.
3:28
Speaker 2: I was at the bathroom before and like cure at
3:29
Speaker 2: the bathrooms here, and I was like, hello, that's so cute.
3:33
Speaker 2: Just the nature. I like the trees.
3:36
Speaker 1: I ALMOSTO thought we were just going for a little
3:39
Speaker 1: nature walk, but I feel like we got so much inflammation.
3:41
Speaker 1: Like everyone says nature's so good few but be so
3:44
Speaker 1: good for you, But the science facts behind why nature
3:47
Speaker 1: is so good for you, I'm really fascinating and a
3:50
Speaker 1: to a guide the staff member took us through like
3:53
Speaker 1: her even talking about her personal experience with like her
3:56
Speaker 1: skin issues and her immune issues and how much actually
3:59
Speaker 1: the medicine wasn't helping. Nature is what helped her. Sunlight
4:03
Speaker 1: is what helped her. Being out in nature and breeding
4:05
Speaker 1: the fresh air and just actually regulating her nervous system
4:08
Speaker 1: through nature is what healed her. I found that fascinating.
4:11
Speaker 2: I know, and like we all know that when we
4:13
Speaker 2: get out and we do these things, you feel great
4:15
Speaker 2: and feel it making after but actually understanding why and
4:18
Speaker 2: hiring the science to back it.
4:20
Speaker 3: That was really cool.
4:22
Speaker 2: So I missed out on the mud bath one day,
4:25
Speaker 2: but Ash she didn't, so yeah, this experience was really cool.
4:29
Speaker 3: So cool.
4:30
Speaker 1: Jay and I one of our producers, we actually got
4:32
Speaker 1: to put mud all over our body. And I know
4:34
Speaker 1: that sounds like why would you do that, but it's
4:36
Speaker 1: New Zealand clay and it's really good for your skin
4:38
Speaker 1: and my skin felt so soft afterwards. So we applied
4:41
Speaker 1: the clay, which was just like a lot of fun
4:43
Speaker 1: and felt really adventurous and felt like childlike play came out.
4:46
Speaker 1: Was giggling the whole time, and then we laid in
4:48
Speaker 1: the sun and it dries up, and we walked down
4:50
Speaker 1: to the creek which was freezing cold. You guys know,
4:53
Speaker 1: if you listen to the potty, if you know me,
4:55
Speaker 1: I'm really not good with cold therapy. And I did
4:58
Speaker 1: it in and out, in and out, but I ended
5:00
Speaker 1: up getting in because you have to wash the mud off.
5:01
Speaker 1: But I felt incredible being and this nature of feel
5:05
Speaker 1: pond of beautiful fresh water, the trees in the background,
5:08
Speaker 1: the sun on our skin. It was so refreshing.
5:11
Speaker 2: That sounded like such a beautiful experience. I wish like
5:14
Speaker 2: going back that I would have experienced in the my.
5:15
Speaker 1: Behalth with you. Next time you'll have to experience time
5:18
Speaker 1: I will have to.
5:19
Speaker 2: But this time I had a little bit of a
5:20
Speaker 2: headache day, probably the withdrawals from all the good stuff
5:23
Speaker 2: that I was taking in the bad stuff I was
5:25
Speaker 2: leaving behind.
5:25
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was such a cool experience. And honestly,
5:28
Speaker 1: when they said my bath, I was kind of a
5:30
Speaker 1: little bit princessing, like, ugh, do I really want to
5:33
Speaker 1: put mud on my skin?
5:34
Speaker 2: Like?
5:34
Speaker 1: But I was like, no, I'm here, I'm going all out.
5:36
Speaker 1: I'm going to try all the things. It was just
5:38
Speaker 1: really really fun. It was really connecting. It felt amazing
5:42
Speaker 1: on my skin. And then even the challenge for me
5:45
Speaker 1: of going into the cold creek that was out of
5:48
Speaker 1: my comfort zone again and it was really nice to
5:50
Speaker 1: be held and supported by the staff members as well.
5:52
Speaker 1: They all dove into the water. I was like, oh
5:53
Speaker 1: my god, these people are crazy. But I stepped in
5:56
Speaker 1: and put my foot out. I was like, oh, I
5:58
Speaker 1: can't do it. The self doubt came in and she
6:00
Speaker 1: just sat with me, looked me in the eye, and
6:01
Speaker 1: she says, we're gonna step in together. We're just going
6:03
Speaker 1: to breathe, and she just locked with me, and I
6:06
Speaker 1: got in and I sat in there for ages and
6:08
Speaker 1: loved it. Washed all the mud off, felt really good.
6:11
Speaker 1: And then Jane and I and the other people there,
6:12
Speaker 1: we just laid in the sun and chatted and even
6:15
Speaker 1: the view of where we were there was this massive
6:16
Speaker 1: patch of grass with the sun on our skin, and
6:19
Speaker 1: then there was just mountains everywhere, butterflies flying past, birds chirping,
6:23
Speaker 1: and it was just, once again, so relaxing, so connecting,
6:26
Speaker 1: and such a beautiful experience, but also just like fun
6:29
Speaker 1: and silly as well. Me and you we love to
6:31
Speaker 1: have fun. We'd love to be silly, and it was
6:32
Speaker 1: just that was just cool, that playful ergy. Yeah, such
6:35
Speaker 1: a different experience that I judged, and I'm so glad
6:38
Speaker 1: I did it, so I'm not gonna lie. I had
6:39
Speaker 1: a bit of a fear going into this retreat, that
6:42
Speaker 1: being a health retreat. I thought it would be all
6:44
Speaker 1: vegan food because a lot of health the trees I've
6:46
Speaker 1: gone to, it's like raw vegetables and just soups and
6:50
Speaker 1: handful of nuts, but I was so stoked. There was
6:53
Speaker 1: so much protein, there was so much variety, so much flavor.
6:58
Speaker 1: Like I could not get over the food. It was
6:59
Speaker 1: ten out of ten.
7:00
Speaker 2: Think we were both very pleasantly surprised.
7:02
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yeah, how good.
7:04
Speaker 4: Was the food.
7:05
Speaker 1: Being a foodie but like a health conscious foodie, knowing
7:09
Speaker 1: everything was one hundred percent organic and grown here, it
7:12
Speaker 1: was just incredible. And I'm not intolerant or allergic to gluten,
7:16
Speaker 1: but I know you eat glute free, and being here
7:19
Speaker 1: not having any gluten, I feel like my brain FOG's gone.
7:23
Speaker 1: And I feel like I've known that in the back
7:24
Speaker 1: of my head gluten is just not good for my body,
7:26
Speaker 1: but I kind of just justify it and oh it'll
7:28
Speaker 1: be okay. You still feel okay. But I felt really
7:31
Speaker 1: good not having it, So coming away from this, it's
7:33
Speaker 1: like inspired me to be more creative with my food.
7:36
Speaker 2: It's also showing me, like how many tasty meals you
7:39
Speaker 2: can make with healthy ingredients, like even the desserts. Yeah,
7:42
Speaker 2: like to not have all those extra additives in, and
7:44
Speaker 2: it really hit the spot.
7:45
Speaker 1: Genuinely feel taste of me. It's absolutely delicious.
7:48
Speaker 2: What was your favorite meal?
7:50
Speaker 1: Oh, I think the chicken lascar. And there were so
7:52
Speaker 1: many vegetables in there, like like all the green leafies
7:55
Speaker 1: that you couldn't really taste, but just the flavors will
7:57
Speaker 1: combine together. But the broth, I love broth as it is,
8:00
Speaker 1: but like a broth made from scratch is like next level.
8:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, it's gonna have like this parrot puree.
8:08
Speaker 1: That was delicious. Yeah, it's all been incredible, like even
8:12
Speaker 1: little savory muffins. We've got afternoon tea, like I want the.
8:18
Speaker 2: Now, you guys know, normally I'm pretty good with the
8:21
Speaker 2: cold therapy. I went in to do the cryotherapy thinking
8:26
Speaker 2: I've got this, but you know what, it was a
8:29
Speaker 2: challenge and it was really nice to have a challenge.
8:31
Speaker 2: But I found it really tough, but it was really
8:33
Speaker 2: amazing and I felt so proud of myself afterwards for
8:36
Speaker 2: pushing myself through.
8:37
Speaker 1: I actually wanted Kiara to go first because she's ice
8:40
Speaker 1: bath queen loves it, does it regularly, jumps in a
8:42
Speaker 1: cold pool all the time, and they do say that
8:45
Speaker 1: people that struggle with ice bas find this easier and
8:47
Speaker 1: vice versa. It was still a mental challenge, but I
8:50
Speaker 1: think because the staff is so beautiful, they're really educated,
8:53
Speaker 1: They're explaining everything as you go, They're right there with you.
8:56
Speaker 1: I just felt really supported to be able to push
8:58
Speaker 1: through that and get through it, and I felt incredible afterwards.
9:02
Speaker 1: So I felt like I could go run a marathon.
9:04
Speaker 1: Like it's so much energy. Hey, feeling I'm nervous.
9:09
Speaker 3: What are you about to do?
9:10
Speaker 2: What's it called cryo therapy therapy?
9:13
Speaker 5: Yeah?
9:15
Speaker 1: Mine is seven degree, So just done Rocks' paper and
9:19
Speaker 1: Kiara's going first. Yeah, I lost any final words.
9:24
Speaker 5: Hopefully this isn't too crazy.
9:26
Speaker 2: So cold therapy is so amazing for building up our
9:30
Speaker 2: stress resilience. It's something that I incorporate my day to
9:33
Speaker 2: day life because it makes me feel so incredible, makes
9:36
Speaker 2: me be able to focus so much more. And this
9:39
Speaker 2: is something that you can incorporate at home as well.
9:41
Speaker 2: Like at the moment, I've just been jumping in my
9:44
Speaker 2: pool each morning.
9:45
Speaker 1: Because it's winter here.
9:46
Speaker 2: But even if you fill your bath up up and
9:48
Speaker 2: chuck some ice in there, there are definitely some ways
9:50
Speaker 2: you can incorporate at home.
9:51
Speaker 1: I just do a cold shower. Yeah, so is at
9:53
Speaker 1: the end of my shower I'll just switch it to
9:54
Speaker 1: as cold as it can be, and it's not as
9:56
Speaker 1: cold as an ice bath, but you do a couple
9:58
Speaker 1: of minutes with that, it's definitely going to still help
9:59
Speaker 1: with your immunity, help with your inflammation, and help wake
10:02
Speaker 1: you up and give you that energy burst you need
10:04
Speaker 1: for the day. It's definitely something all of us can practice.
10:07
Speaker 1: And even if you were to do the cold shower
10:09
Speaker 1: first and then move into the pool and then go
10:10
Speaker 1: and do an ice bas somewhere, like you're just building
10:12
Speaker 1: it up.
10:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good even these cold mornings. Something you can
10:16
Speaker 2: incorporate as well is on your morning walk, wear the
10:19
Speaker 2: band minimum. I know it's cold outside, but if you're
10:22
Speaker 2: exposed to it for a longer period of time, even
10:24
Speaker 2: when it's not as cold, you still read the same rewards.
10:28
Speaker 1: Ash, I've spoken about this massage to anyone and everyone
10:33
Speaker 1: who cares to hear about it, because it was just incredible.
10:37
Speaker 2: What do you think made it so different to every
10:39
Speaker 2: other massage you've ever had?
10:40
Speaker 1: Honestly, the therapist, like her passion and her energy that
10:44
Speaker 1: she was carrying the oil, the time length, like it
10:47
Speaker 1: was a two hour treatment. I'm pretty sure it was
10:49
Speaker 1: nearly two hours the state that I was in being
10:52
Speaker 1: at Eden Health Retreat because I was already so relaxed,
10:55
Speaker 1: so I found I could drop in, Or is when
10:56
Speaker 1: I go get a massage in my day to day
10:58
Speaker 1: life sometimes I'll still check my phone like in the massage,
11:02
Speaker 1: or I'm just my mind still buzzing. I don't as well,
11:06
Speaker 1: But there I was already relaxed. I really dropped in
11:08
Speaker 1: and just fully enjoyed it. And it was just a
11:10
Speaker 1: different style of massage that isn't offered day to day
11:13
Speaker 1: like at home, I'll go get a time massage because
11:15
Speaker 1: they're just everywhere and they're good. I love them. But
11:18
Speaker 1: this was so rare and different and just beautiful, and
11:20
Speaker 1: you could tell there's just a different energy behind it
11:23
Speaker 1: and her techniques of how she used her own body
11:26
Speaker 1: and energy to say penetrate this sexual word. But I
11:30
Speaker 1: just been like, really connect with your body and she
11:33
Speaker 1: could still find all my tight sore bits. But the
11:35
Speaker 1: way she got in there, it never hurt. But it
11:38
Speaker 1: also wasn't soft and fluffy, like I hate going to
11:40
Speaker 1: get a massage and it feels that little butterflies like
11:41
Speaker 1: get in there. I want you to help, you know,
11:44
Speaker 1: it's incredible.
11:45
Speaker 2: I think for me too, the biggest thing how you
11:47
Speaker 2: mentioned was the length of time. I feel like sometimes
11:50
Speaker 2: you're just dropping in, you're just starting to relax, massage
11:53
Speaker 2: over the fact that you were like just getting so
11:56
Speaker 2: into it and you had all the rest of the
11:57
Speaker 2: time to go amazing.
11:59
Speaker 1: Perfect amount of time. Yeah, perfect there. But she's been
12:02
Speaker 1: there for ten years in credible.
12:03
Speaker 2: A lot of them have been there for a long time.
12:04
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and they just goes to show their passion,
12:07
Speaker 1: like you can feel they want to be there and
12:09
Speaker 1: they want to help you. And even at the end
12:11
Speaker 1: she said something to each of us she did that
12:13
Speaker 1: was so relevant. So she actually put her hand on
12:17
Speaker 1: my right shoulder, touched my head on my right side,
12:20
Speaker 1: and like just played around with my hair. And I
12:22
Speaker 1: was like, what is she doing? And she said, A
12:24
Speaker 1: lot's going on here, A lot's happening here. And I
12:27
Speaker 1: said to her, Oh, I've got a brain aneurysm. And
12:30
Speaker 1: she's like, I know, sweetie. She's like, I want you
12:32
Speaker 1: to trust yourself, trust your body, and trust your universe
12:36
Speaker 1: and trush your medical team. You've got this. I was like, WHOA,
12:39
Speaker 1: how did she pick up on the energy on my
12:42
Speaker 1: right side. And even when I told her the brain aneurism,
12:45
Speaker 1: like her face didn't move. She's like, I know, honey.
12:47
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, And what did she say to you?
12:49
Speaker 2: She said to me, you are a warrior on the
12:52
Speaker 2: top of the mountain. She says, you have a climbed
12:56
Speaker 2: all the way up here. You have done the work.
12:58
Speaker 2: She goes, don't go back down the mountain for anyone.
13:01
Speaker 2: They need to meet you where you are at.
13:03
Speaker 1: Yes, that was so powder. That was so special. So
13:07
Speaker 1: she's really intuitive, really into it, like really connects and
13:10
Speaker 1: knows what's going on. Somehow, I feel like everyone there
13:13
Speaker 1: is yeah, yeah, I can't even talk.
13:18
Speaker 2: She will around the country Like I feel like I'm flecting.
13:21
Speaker 1: So the type of massage I just got Koona, yes,
13:24
Speaker 1: which I've had one before, but that was just on
13:27
Speaker 1: another level. Like I get massages all the time, It's
13:29
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things to do. That was such
13:32
Speaker 1: an experience. I just said to Kiara, like I feel
13:35
Speaker 1: like I'm on another planet, Like I can't I have
13:37
Speaker 1: no noise in my head, all my stress, all my worry.
13:41
Speaker 1: It's like melted away. So this is a type of frequency.
13:44
Speaker 1: I want to be able to tap into more. Oh
13:47
Speaker 1: so beautiful. Wow, I would like come back to this
13:50
Speaker 1: retreat just for the massage, just to see her.
13:53
Speaker 2: I started off and I went in there, and she
13:55
Speaker 2: just asked me about like what's going on in my life.
13:58
Speaker 2: I kind of talked to her about heats of things.
13:59
Speaker 2: I also spoke to her about my periods and how
14:03
Speaker 2: they have been. Then I laid out on the bed
14:06
Speaker 2: and she starts off by doing like a chant, and
14:09
Speaker 2: she calls in your ancestors and also her ancestors as well.
14:13
Speaker 2: What happens is she starts to kind of give you
14:15
Speaker 2: a massage, but she will stop where there's like pressure
14:18
Speaker 2: and then she will like push into it. So the
14:19
Speaker 2: first one she would push into, she's like, something happen
14:22
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one. They want you to know like
14:24
Speaker 2: all this stuff. So that's when I had my topic pregnancy.
14:27
Speaker 2: So there were all these different scenarios and dates that
14:30
Speaker 2: she was throwing around of significant years of my life.
14:34
Speaker 2: And at the start, she said to me, this will
14:36
Speaker 2: either be something where it'll like be a big like
14:39
Speaker 2: release as in like releasing trauma, or it'll be a
14:42
Speaker 2: big release as in like absolute release of gratitude Anyway,
14:46
Speaker 2: she went through all those points and then she went
14:49
Speaker 2: to one for my husband, for Kurt, and she's like,
14:52
Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm literally gonna cry again. And just
14:54
Speaker 2: like the amount of a feeling of like gratitude that
14:57
Speaker 2: I felt for him was just insane, Like I just
15:00
Speaker 2: started to sob like to the point there was like
15:01
Speaker 2: not running out.
15:02
Speaker 3: Of my f.
15:05
Speaker 2: So nice. And then she did like a thing for
15:07
Speaker 2: each of my kids. And I've just never like just
15:11
Speaker 2: never felt like such a huge amount of gratitude just
15:15
Speaker 2: for the support system that I've got. Oh the aloha
15:18
Speaker 2: healing that was my lowhah healing experience. I've never experienced
15:22
Speaker 2: anything like that before in my life. There's some more
15:25
Speaker 2: personal things that I didn't quite touch on because it's
15:27
Speaker 2: not really my story to share. But the things, oh
15:32
Speaker 2: my gosh, that she knew.
15:34
Speaker 1: The crazy how she can pick out dates from your life, yeah,
15:37
Speaker 1: and kind of tell you bits and pieces of it
15:40
Speaker 1: and where it's stored in your body, and then she
15:42
Speaker 1: massages and moves through it. Yeah, it's incredible. What a gift.
15:45
Speaker 1: And she said she's done that since she was a
15:46
Speaker 1: little girl.
15:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rachelle, she was incredible. And also, you know, the
15:49
Speaker 2: crazy thing. Maybe that's had a little bit of an
15:51
Speaker 2: effect on my periods this month, too true.
15:55
Speaker 1: If you have heard period episodes, Yeah, that's so true.
15:59
Speaker 4: True.
16:00
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that neither. Wow, how powerful everyone
16:03
Speaker 1: that goes there. Like there was one lady at dinner
16:06
Speaker 1: one night who said she'd been to eat in health
16:08
Speaker 1: or treat ten years ago and see Rachelle, And then
16:11
Speaker 1: she saw her ten years later at the one we
16:13
Speaker 1: were at, and she said she just picked off where
16:15
Speaker 1: she'd left off. And she said it was just once again,
16:17
Speaker 1: like just so healing, but incredible that she could even
16:20
Speaker 1: remember her days, her family, like the things that were
16:23
Speaker 1: going on. I was like, Wow, who is this woman?
16:26
Speaker 1: And I feel like.
16:27
Speaker 2: Walking away from her healing. Sometimes you can walk away
16:30
Speaker 2: from certain sessions feeling heavy. I feel like I walked
16:33
Speaker 2: away feeling really at peace, really light, and really grateful.
16:37
Speaker 2: So I walked away these beautiful feelings. There was three
16:40
Speaker 2: dates she gave me. One of them was ectopic pregnancy.
16:43
Speaker 2: One of them was like a rough patch Curt and
16:44
Speaker 2: I went through, and then another one's like a really
16:46
Speaker 2: bad year that I had, so.
16:48
Speaker 1: Pretty incredible, so incredible.
16:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, should we talk about the new the new Vitality Center. Wow,
16:54
Speaker 2: I know this is where we did the cryotherapy and
16:56
Speaker 2: we also tried this new device. How do I explain it?
17:00
Speaker 1: But first of all, what place has nearly fifty different
17:05
Speaker 1: I know, it's insane, so many to choose and there's
17:07
Speaker 1: literally something for everyone. But yeah, this device thing we've
17:12
Speaker 1: never heard of, never seen their experience.
17:14
Speaker 2: It was so cool, ash and I love, like, sometimes
17:16
Speaker 2: you don't want to get wet, sometimes you want.
17:19
Speaker 1: To experience the experience. Girl.
17:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, and doing this float and actually not getting like
17:25
Speaker 2: wet but having the full experience. Gosh, honestly, it was
17:29
Speaker 2: so relaxing like that.
17:31
Speaker 1: Or I've done float tanks and I personally don't love
17:34
Speaker 1: them because I've got this sounds so princessy, but I've
17:37
Speaker 1: got really thick hair, and all the salt magnesium dried
17:40
Speaker 1: up my hair and made it so naughty. For like
17:42
Speaker 1: a week, I just couldn't get it back to normal.
17:44
Speaker 1: So I've never gone to one since. So this is
17:45
Speaker 1: the same type of treatment, yet you're not getting wet,
17:49
Speaker 1: You're laying in this bed and floating with water. It
17:52
Speaker 1: was incredible. Oh wow, Oh my goodness, I'm laying down
17:57
Speaker 1: on a bed and it's like an inflatable mattress, except
18:01
Speaker 1: I'm sinking into it but floating and it's so warm.
18:07
Speaker 1: This is heaven.
18:09
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I need one of these.
18:12
Speaker 6: Wow.
18:14
Speaker 3: This is really relaxing.
18:15
Speaker 1: It's like super squishy and soft and just warm.
18:23
Speaker 6: It's really nice. It's like you're floating out in the ocean. Oh,
18:26
Speaker 6: I've got some vibration at me, like the water moving around.
18:33
Speaker 6: It's almost like a little soft message.
18:36
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, how amazing was Rich? We met a beautiful, beautiful,
18:39
Speaker 1: very very inspiring man. I feel like when you're here,
18:42
Speaker 1: you're going to go to a meditation or hear about
18:44
Speaker 1: some talking about meditation. I don't know why. I'm kind
18:46
Speaker 1: of a bit bored. Yeah, it's something I've always struggled with.
18:49
Speaker 1: I've never really been able to implement properly. I go
18:53
Speaker 1: in and out of it. I've always told myself I'm
18:55
Speaker 1: really bad at it. And then he just really changed
18:57
Speaker 1: my whole perspective on it. Since then, I've like meditated
19:00
Speaker 1: most days.
19:01
Speaker 2: Yeah me too.
19:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, so every single day. There's up to eight different activities.
19:05
Speaker 1: When I saw the meditation on there, I was like, oh,
19:07
Speaker 1: and it's probably one of my favorite out of all
19:08
Speaker 1: the activities that we did do me too.
19:10
Speaker 2: And the way he explained his whole story beforehand, and
19:14
Speaker 2: how he used to find meditation really hard, which is
19:16
Speaker 2: so relatable, and it made all those old stories that
19:19
Speaker 2: we told ourselves kind of go, Well, if he was
19:21
Speaker 2: someone who struggled that much and he can do this,
19:24
Speaker 2: I can do it too.
19:25
Speaker 1: He's got four kids, Okay, we've got that.
19:28
Speaker 5: So being a parent yourself, I have a very limiting
19:31
Speaker 5: belief and I make excuses like, oh, I need to
19:34
Speaker 5: make the lunches, I'll do it later, I'm too busy.
19:37
Speaker 5: How did you transition from being a parent yourself to
19:40
Speaker 5: really implementing this meditation twice a day?
19:42
Speaker 3: Because it sounds like a lot for yeah, all of
19:44
Speaker 3: us that busy. H I don't know. It is an
19:46
Speaker 3: excuse again, it's an excuses.
19:49
Speaker 4: Reality with the world is incredibly consuming, and to carve
19:53
Speaker 4: out the time to sit down and go it can
19:55
Speaker 4: seem really selfish too.
19:56
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like how selfish would need to go
19:57
Speaker 3: and take that time.
19:58
Speaker 4: I don't prescribe to the concept of self sacrifice when
20:04
Speaker 4: a plan is what I say, And I knew I
20:10
Speaker 4: was just becoming so reactionary. When we're stressed, we get reactionary.
20:14
Speaker 4: I might be making their lunches or hang out with them,
20:16
Speaker 4: but I'm not my best version.
20:17
Speaker 3: Like I've got so much to do. Come on, let's
20:19
Speaker 3: quickly play so I can then go and deal with
20:21
Speaker 3: the other stuff.
20:22
Speaker 2: You said you do two sessions, one in the morning,
20:24
Speaker 2: one in the afternoon due to the morning before the
20:26
Speaker 2: kids wake up.
20:27
Speaker 1: And what time in the r do you do it.
20:32
Speaker 3: Some people am advising before you get home, pull meditate.
20:35
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a great.
20:38
Speaker 3: Yea these Otherwise, if I run through that door or whatever,
20:44
Speaker 3: and that it can be all on one and just
20:45
Speaker 3: sit there and meditating that environment, you can do it.
20:48
Speaker 3: I can then turn a plane tray of bus. But
20:50
Speaker 3: if I sit in the car on the street, I'm
20:52
Speaker 3: going to get a deeper level of the rest of
20:54
Speaker 3: the body.
20:54
Speaker 5: Sometimes I much stress. Go for a drive, I just
20:58
Speaker 5: look at the ocean like my car is my It's times.
21:01
Speaker 3: That's something definitely, and again it can anyway. Somebody will
21:06
Speaker 3: do it whatever. We're not trying to making it work. Yeah,
21:12
Speaker 3: And this practice, it's not trying to control or calm
21:14
Speaker 3: the mind in any way.
21:16
Speaker 1: I just feel like the way he articulated and explained
21:18
Speaker 1: it really helped me be like, Okay, this is actually
21:21
Speaker 1: something I really not only need to but now I
21:24
Speaker 1: want to implement into my life. And I think we've
21:26
Speaker 1: being sold this story that you have to sit like
21:28
Speaker 1: a monk with your you know, your legs crossed and
21:30
Speaker 1: you can't have any thoughts and your mind is just
21:32
Speaker 1: so busy. But it doesn't actually have to look like that.
21:34
Speaker 1: He told us that a morning and in the afternoon,
21:37
Speaker 1: but the afternoon one really resonated with me, because when
21:39
Speaker 1: I come home from work, I want to switch out
21:41
Speaker 1: of my masculine work energy and drop into feminine, soft,
21:45
Speaker 1: flowy presents. So I'm actually going to leave work a
21:47
Speaker 1: little bit earlier and do it in the car, and
21:49
Speaker 1: I can put a meditation on and that'll help me
21:51
Speaker 1: transition into home life. So that's something I took away
21:54
Speaker 1: that I'm definitely going to implement, and it feels so
21:56
Speaker 1: good and exciting for me. I feel like it's going
21:58
Speaker 1: to be hard.
21:59
Speaker 2: I always had a story in my head that I
22:01
Speaker 2: was bad at meditating. Yes, the way that he explained
22:04
Speaker 2: that it's okay to let your mind wander, I found
22:08
Speaker 2: that really cool. Because I thought that if my mind
22:09
Speaker 2: was doing that, that I was doing a bad job
22:11
Speaker 2: at doing it. Yeahat yeah, So I had this story
22:14
Speaker 2: that like, I just didn't really put time and effort
22:16
Speaker 2: into it because I didn't think that I was capable.
22:19
Speaker 2: But him saying that you can literally sit in your
22:20
Speaker 2: car and do it, I was like wow, And if it.
22:23
Speaker 1: Comes in it's like oh. I thought like, yeah, take
22:27
Speaker 1: my breath and then let it go.
22:29
Speaker 6: Yeah.
22:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, really cool.
22:31
Speaker 2: Something else that Rich said about meditating that really helped
22:34
Speaker 2: me that I've noticed since I've come back home is
22:37
Speaker 2: he said, if your mind is wondering as well, that
22:39
Speaker 2: think when you breathe in through your nose, cold air
22:41
Speaker 2: in and warm air out. And that's really been helping me.
22:45
Speaker 1: He did recommend two twenty minute meditations each day. That
22:49
Speaker 1: transition of work to home has been really really nice me.
22:53
Speaker 1: And even if it's not twenty minutes, sometimes I might
22:55
Speaker 1: only have five or ten, but I'll just pull up
22:57
Speaker 1: near my house, turn the car off, put a meditation in,
23:00
Speaker 1: close my eyes, and just take some big breaths and
23:03
Speaker 1: just drop in. It helps me trans form work masculine
23:06
Speaker 1: to like mum wife feminine. It's really really nice.
23:10
Speaker 2: So something as well that's so beautiful as when you
23:12
Speaker 2: go to Eden, it's all so community based, but then
23:15
Speaker 2: also like when you go to dinner and that if
23:17
Speaker 2: you're wanting time alone, they've got a space set out
23:19
Speaker 2: for that as well. But they have a joy team there,
23:23
Speaker 2: so they're actually the people when you go to all
23:25
Speaker 2: these sessions throughout the day that you see and you
23:27
Speaker 2: connect with, and then you walk into lunch and dinner
23:30
Speaker 2: and they're there as well, and they're having a chat
23:32
Speaker 2: and talking to you, and it's just so beautiful to
23:34
Speaker 2: feel so supported in that space.
23:36
Speaker 1: And they're not only just having a chat but having
23:38
Speaker 1: a meal with you, so they're almost like a guest
23:40
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, they live this lifestyle. They experience this
23:43
Speaker 1: all the time. And it was really nice to know
23:45
Speaker 1: how long. I always ask how long staff firms have
23:47
Speaker 1: been there, but it's always a true reflection of an
23:50
Speaker 1: organization or a place like this, But most of them
23:53
Speaker 1: have been there for like five, ten, fifteen, twenty five
23:56
Speaker 1: plus years and it's like, wow, they really stand by
24:00
Speaker 1: what even health retreat is all about. They really stand
24:03
Speaker 1: by all of it and love it and want everyone
24:05
Speaker 1: to experience that and that's the lifestyle they've chosen to
24:08
Speaker 1: be a part of now. Like a lot of them
24:10
Speaker 1: were ex doctors or pe teachers or you know these
24:14
Speaker 1: crazy busy jobs. Even Rich it was like a massive
24:18
Speaker 1: hustler with business. And now he's like, no, this is
24:20
Speaker 1: a kind of life I want to live. And now
24:22
Speaker 1: I'm going to teach other people how to live this
24:24
Speaker 1: because it's so beautiful and why can't we live in
24:26
Speaker 1: this energy more often? So I really loved hearing all
24:28
Speaker 1: of their personal stories. It made me feel more connected
24:30
Speaker 1: to them than also made me think, oh, it is
24:33
Speaker 1: possible to take some of even health to treat home.
24:35
Speaker 1: And same with a meditation thing, like I hope everyone
24:38
Speaker 1: gets to experience when they go, they get to experience
24:40
Speaker 1: Rich is energy and here is knowledge. But that is
24:42
Speaker 1: something that you guys can do before you transition from
24:45
Speaker 1: work life to home life. Just stop and spend five
24:47
Speaker 1: minutes meditating before you get up. He even said he'll
24:49
Speaker 1: meditate sometimes with his kids around, and they'll go up
24:52
Speaker 1: and like pull on his cheeks and try and open
24:54
Speaker 1: his eyes, and he's like, I'm showing my kids that
24:56
Speaker 1: this is a part of daddy's routine. Daddy is calmer
24:58
Speaker 1: and happier when he meditates, and now they just all
25:00
Speaker 1: know and they join in with him. Yeah. So if
25:02
Speaker 1: you want your kids to become and regulated, how can
25:04
Speaker 1: they if you're not come and regulated. Show them the way,
25:07
Speaker 1: lead the way, show them how to do it. And
25:09
Speaker 1: he's done that so well. This is really inspiring.
25:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even with the Joy team as well, I
25:14
Speaker 2: feel like there is just such genuine care.
25:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:17
Speaker 2: Like I said, when we first arrived, like everyone knew
25:19
Speaker 2: your name as soon as you were turning up, and
25:21
Speaker 2: everyone would just check in on you every day when
25:23
Speaker 2: you walk past, how is that yesterday? Did you try
25:25
Speaker 2: that treatment yet? What are you up to later on today?
25:28
Speaker 2: Like just genuine care. I've never experienced that amount of
25:34
Speaker 2: like incredible service being somewhere.
25:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not just a job for them. You can
25:38
Speaker 1: tell they actually want to be there.
25:39
Speaker 2: They're invested. They want to genuinely know how you are
25:41
Speaker 2: and how you're feeling after a treatment.
25:43
Speaker 1: Or you know, if you go to a shop or something.
25:44
Speaker 1: It's their job, you know, it's their job. They're getting
25:46
Speaker 1: paid to be there, that's whatever, but they actually want
25:49
Speaker 1: to be there. You can feel it, you can see it.
25:51
Speaker 1: It's really hard, even on the podcast, Like, I hope
25:53
Speaker 1: you guys have kind of felt like you were there
25:55
Speaker 1: with us a little bit and experienced it. But when
25:57
Speaker 1: I was trying to explain this to people, it is
25:59
Speaker 1: really hard to explain the depth of how amazing it
26:03
Speaker 1: was and how transformative it was. It honestly was the
26:06
Speaker 1: reset that I needed, yeap. It broke my sugar addiction.
26:09
Speaker 1: It gave me clarity for where I want to go
26:11
Speaker 1: in my next season. I felt so at peace with
26:14
Speaker 1: my surgery, like it's everything that I needed to clear
26:17
Speaker 1: and just feel so grounded and connected to myself and
26:20
Speaker 1: the universe and come out so regulated, Like it really
26:23
Speaker 1: changed so much for me.
26:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think too, because when you're there, there's
26:27
Speaker 2: so many layers at work. You are not only completely
26:31
Speaker 2: off your phone, not only eating really nutritional meals that
26:34
Speaker 2: are making you feel amazing, having no caffeine and taking
26:38
Speaker 2: time and carving time out because you have the time
26:40
Speaker 2: and space to meditate and do all those things that
26:42
Speaker 2: you want to do while you're making excuses for so
26:45
Speaker 2: to have so many elements at work in one place.
26:48
Speaker 2: Just like we keep saying, our nervous system just felt
26:51
Speaker 2: incredible while we were there.
26:53
Speaker 1: If you have one thing to put on your bucket list,
26:55
Speaker 1: make it Eat in Health a treat like I honestly
26:58
Speaker 1: would pay quadruple what they charge because it is that
27:02
Speaker 1: worth it, Like I actually want to go and experience
27:04
Speaker 1: this with my mum. I'd love to go and experience
27:06
Speaker 1: it with ste a solo trip. Like, no matter where
27:08
Speaker 1: you're at in your life, what you're going through, I
27:11
Speaker 1: can always guarantee this will help you.
27:13
Speaker 2: So connecting and even as actually said, going with different
27:16
Speaker 2: people such a great way to work on your connection
27:18
Speaker 2: in your relationships and then solo connect with yourself.
27:21
Speaker 1: Yeahs, we have a code if you want to go
27:26
Speaker 1: and experience Eat in Hell for treat, you can use
27:29
Speaker 1: the code eat and upgrade.
