Spring Newsletter ~ Get Your Wellness Boost  :-)

Relax ~ Rejuvenate ~ Revive ................& Smile ! ! ! 

Say YES to More BLISS & Less STRESS ! ? 

Picture
First off thank you so much for taking some of your precious time to review our bi-monthly news and updates here at Vibrant Living Retreat & Mountain View Massage Day Spa in the alpine wellness village of Hanmer Springs. We have so much inspiring and wonderful news to share with you and we hope that you find it of real value and insight to your life at this time. 


Myself. Steve & our Vibrant Team are living our dream's this year like no other and we truly wish to support you to live your best life too. We feel blessed beyond measure to be able to offer to you our enchanting B&B location, Spa escape packages, Selection of Wellness Retreats, Day Spa services and so much more as we expand our offerings with workshops and trainings.Click here for Programme of events 

We know and appreciate that your time is truly valuable and there are many things calling your attention. I know I have to certainly pick and choose where and how I place my own focus on a day to day basis. Even though I am absolutely passionate about everything we do here and I am surrounded by so much tranquil settings, I still have to claim my 'MEEE' time, and put it in the diary in order to get it. 

That is why I wanted to take this opportunity to truly express our gratitude to you taking the time to read our newsletter updates and also to sweetly remind you to perhaps consider claiming your own 'YOU' time in your own diary system for the weeks and months ahead. 


The human value in 'Self Care' is one of those things that more and more people are realising the real importance of, in todays fast paced and distracting world of information streams, opinions, marketing, news etc ...etc 


Hence perhaps this is why the wellness industry is understood to be one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Too much stress is said to be the underlining current running through every dis-ease especially acute. So creating ways to unwind, relax and give the body-mind-emotional system a chance to relax, recover, restore and rejuvenate is imperative to living a healthy and vibrant life which we all want to live... lets face it ! :-) 


These are some of the reasons why we here at Vibrant Living Retreat & Mountain View Day Spa are so passionate and honoured to get to do what we do in Hanmer Springs. To support you and 100's of others to discover a welcoming and peaceful place to relax, unwind and enjoy a good time. Just this act of taking care of ones self by unwinding with enjoyment, naturally switches off the stress responses of fight of flight in the body and instead switches on the de-stress chemistry and hormones commonly referred to as the parasympathetic response system. 


In basic terms what this really means for the body is that it now has access again to its own naturally healing ~ harmonising ~ rejuvenating inner wisdom. In my opinion and with 100's of personal experiences to back this statement up, the body is truly a miracle and the more we can befriend it, instead of treating it like a enemy the better it serves us. 


As humans we are build to survive at all costs on an instinctual level and the stress responses to the outer world stimuli tells the body it must stay in survival mode, hence the body gets into the trained habit of continually being in the stressful fight or flight or freeze mode even when there is nothing to be stressed about. 


Continually being in the stress response can lead to experiences of anxiety, depression, insomnia, aches, pains, tensions, negativity and having a short fuse that can be triggered off when dealing with normal daily circumstances. 


I share this insight with you so that you can be reminded today of the real  value of investing in your own and your families well being again and again and again as part of regular life, not just every now and then. What good is all the hard work and money in the world if you and yours do not have the health and vitality in body mind and spirit to enjoy it. 


On the up side, how fabulous is it to know, that the more you relax and value taking care of you and enjoying your life with those you love, the more your body can heal and re-energise itself naturally. This is one of the reasons I call our Vibrant Living Retreat & Mountain View Day Spa a guilt free zone. I hope you agree that it is definitely time to move away from that kind of thinking and belief that one needs to feel guilty for taking time to relax and enjoy life as it really serves no one....well has it ever ! ? 


Speaking of new ways of thinking, YEAH Spring time is here again ushering in beautiful new beginnings. Steve pointed out the beautiful baby Koru in his fern plant the other day to me aawweeee. 


With that I gently recommend that you take some time to consider your true values for the rest of 2015 and where you are investing your valuable time and resources?

 ...Because your worth it ! AND you deserve a relaxed, happy, healed, harmonious and joyously bountiful life. 

Here are just some of our latest offerings, specials and upcoming retreats to support 
Radiant Wellness & Vibrant Health in Body-Mind-Spirit this 2015 Spring time.

Living the dream ~ BEing the Change ...

8/9/2015

0 Comments

 
My heart is bursting with delight after reading a few of our latest trip advisor reviews. They are a beautiful affirmation statement to what we are creating here with our core values and visions.

Thank you to all whom have responded to all that we are cultivating and developing at Mountain View Massage Day Spa & Vibrant Living Retreat in Hanmer Springs in 2015. 

I have never felt so alive and on purpose with my life and visions coming into reality this year. Visions I have held dear and near to my heart when once upon a time those around me said " get your head out the clouds " or negated my dreams in some way not intentionally of course just a limited belief of what is possible. Naturally I doubted myself at times but something deeper has always been leading the way forward and gifting me the courage to  see my fears and do it anyway. 

I have always known my values seemed a bit different to many peoples, I value happiness and freedom over all else, I value health and vitality over hard work, competition and money, I value authenticity over idle chatter at someones else's expense.

Sometimes it has been a lonely and courageous journey to be me and yet the more I went within, faced my fears & healed my own heart and soul, the more I have come to know I am never alone and whom we each are is so much more than our parents were ever told no matter what age you are now.

In 2015 Steve my hubby has joined me which is pure magic , especially to over hear him chant 'living the dream' to one of our guest. I so admire him with our accommodation guest, he is so much better, more natural and patient than me at casual everyday chatting and sharing the great places to go in Hanmer. We both have different strengths and it is so wonderful to bring them together in harmony, mutual support and dynamic co-creation.

So blessed and feeling so grateful in this NOW moment to be me and be the change I want to see in the world and having lots of fun doing so.

I am so grateful to have stayed true all these years to my inner guidance even if my car did have to come off the road once for me to sit up and take notice ...but thats another story for another day.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all those that have taken the time to give us 1st class rating on trip advisor and Facebook. You are amazing. We are all amazing and life is getting better and better each day because we say YES & so it must become for that is a universal law or as the bible puts it "ASK & IT IS GIVEN".

Of course it's not just myself & Steve here, we are extra blessed with attracting the most wonderful and passionate heart centred therapists and retreat contributors.

Radiant Luv & Magical Blessings 
Namaste 
Mary jo

    Mary Jo,  Steve & the Vibrant Team !  

    Our Blog is a resource for us at Vibrant Living to share the good news, news; that which supports our human empowerment, V.L. updates and wellness inspirations to seed new possibilities,  insights, hope and connections. 

    Most of all we intend to share the good vibes that enhance living a vibrantly empowered and creative life in body-mind-spirit. 

    Vibrant Living is our dream vision coming to life and it is our greatest honour and joy to have the capacity to offer our wellness services in our beautiful retreat sanctuary in the alpine village of Hanmer Springs, New Zealand. 

    We acknowledge we are living in some of the most wondrous and crazy years on planet earth. Years that are proving themselves to be years of great changes, life transitions and transformations. Years that  at times will challenge each one of us individually and collectively to dive deeper to the very core of us, with the aim to crack open our hearts, release the past and reveal something new and liberating.  

    We are each in so many different ways being challenged to review our understandings of life as we thought we knew it; uncover our highest values and core beliefs about ourself and our place, direction and purpose within this life. 

    However in the midst of the challenges, chaos, stressful living, over whelm, anxieties, daily pressures and shocks to the body-mind-emotional system is a great opportunity to grow in ways beyond anything we have realised.  Hence the wellness industry if one of the fasting growing industries on the planet as more and more people want to empower there health, fitness, vitality and general well being. 

    " When things seem to be falling apart, what if they are actually falling together " .

    At Vibrant Living we are here to be of support to those that resonant as a bridge of  authentic light;  lighting up with care, vibrancy and compassion the opportunities to release the old daily habits and paradigms that does not work anymore or are simply outdated in our modern world that is in fact birthing a new cosmic 26,000 year cycle of energies and vibrations onto our planet earth.  There is a much bigger picture to current events and we are each being asked to play our unique and relevant parts. 

    We are in a new galactic cycle in which humanity is being encouraged to co-create a new template of living that restores personal empowerment,   harmonious living, innate abundance and sustainable wellness in body, mind, emotions and spirit.

    It is a great paradigm shift and a very rewarding one for those who choose to open to the new possibilities and make heart centred & gut guided choices with trust being redeemed in ones own life guiding source once more to follow ones passions, purpose and joy.  

    Vibrant Living just happens to be ours and we feel blessed each and every day to embrace this beautiful gift of life and be of divine service to this glorious life we are co-creating.
