Paradise Retreat Addictions Clearing Program

by admin on January 9, 2012

Paradise Retreat for Addictions and Wholeness is 60 Plus Hours of Core Health Expansion Sessions.

The Paradise Retreat integrates the Core Health system with a holistic approach to overall wellness. Our program is designed to systematically guide our guests through a series of new life choices. When our guests leave they take with them the tools needed to assist them in naturalizing those new life choices into daily living.

The Paradise Retreat Program combines a complementary and Holistic approach to wellness and a cutting edge approach to human consciousness, coupled with the diverse background and experience of our staff in the field of therapy.

The 60+ hours of Core Health expansion levels include group, private and customized sessions that get to the heart of addiction by clearing the triggers and dysfunction that led to the original decision to use and abuse substances – using a system called comprehensive kinesiology.

There are two primary segments to Core Health. The first is Building a Solid Self and the second is Freeing All Relationship Dynamics. Each segment includes 6 expansion levels. In our Paradise retreat, we have also added additional process driven modules specific to addiction issues.

Comfort Zone

While our subconscious mind runs the vast majority of our daily life, most of the time we are not consciously aware that this is happening. Core Health goes deep below our conscious awareness and systematically deletes distortions in the underlying operating system that actually controls both the subconscious and conscious minds. It affects and “re-calibrates” the entire system step by step in a constructive sequential format dissolving root issues and clouds of confusion. This uncovers the pure core of health that you were born with and that’s what it takes to end the addiction.

This process is specific to each individual where each expands from the inside-out. It is also an excellent complement to other modalities that focus on “external treatment or guidance” and magnifies the effectiveness of each.

Core Health takes a fundamentally different approach based on the premise:

“What’s right with me?” vs “What’s wrong with me?”

You’re Not Broken and You Do Not Need Fixing.

Core Health evolved over thirty years into its current form and is a relatively unknown modality that focuses on health expansion vs disease management.

Core Health draws upon and integrates elements of the work and research of such prominent researchers and psychologists as:

  • Dr. John Diamond, MD, Life Energy, Our Body Doesn’t Lie created a system Life Energy Analysis (originally called Behavioral Kinesiology) in the 70’s.
  • Dr. David Hawkins, MD, Psychiatrist, Addiction Specialist, Power vs Force, et alia. Addicts have a valid goal to experience the True Self – but use an invalid method of drug abuse.  Dr. Hawkins says: The truth of who you are, is unchanged by that which you go through.”
  • Bruce Lipton, PhD, Cell Biologist and Researcher , Former Medical School Professor , Biology of Belief, “In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cell’s information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cell’s equivalent of a brain. His research at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes, presaged one of today’s most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics.” About Bruce Lipton.
  • Dr. Roger Callahan, PhD, Psychologist.  “All addiction is looking for a tranquilizer to cover “anxiety”.
  • Dr. Ed Carlson, Founder of Core Health says:  “Core Health blended these to discover the “Ultimate Anxiety”, birthing all other anxieties: Our True Self is covered by clouds of confusion, creating a false self. Core Health clears away the clouds of confusion and expands the core of true self.”

What Happens in Core Health Sessions:

Nueva Vida Entry

The impact that Core Health Sessions have on participants is remarkable from the therapist’s perspective. While Core Health processes are simple, they are stunningly effective.

In every group, people achieve breakthroughs emotionally, mentally and energetically. Seeing their eyes change from week to week, seeing a greater clarity and consciousness emerge is always a magical process. Over and over, people dissolve stress, release confusion and their true healthy selves – the natural part of who we are as human beings – emerges.

Participants rewrite their stories by changing their energetic relationship to their past – the disturbing events, the emotional traumas, the pain and discomfort that we all experience over time. While the events themselves do not change, the personal, internal relationship to those events does. When the processes are completed, the memories are still there, but the energetic attachment to them is not.

In a dimensional expansion beyond Energy Psychology, Core Health frees our deep core essence in a sequential method, for durable global results. These beneficial results are measureable, lasting, and naturalized into daily living.

Core Health is simple, elegant, thorough, durable, and the benefits are measureable. Most importantly the beneficial results are retained and naturalized as a positive, powerful, healthy, creative way of living.

Clients with addictions have anger issues. At Paradise Retreat guests also participate in interactive sessions releasing anger permanently – in contrast to a typical anger management program – using a series of energy expansion sessions called: Heart Forgiveness.

Give us a call and come spend a life changing 60 days with us in paradise. We also offer 2 week and 4 week programs modified to match the specific needs and time availability of our guests.

A natural approach to Treatment of Addiction

{ 0 comments }

Treatment of Addiction – ReTreat – ReNew – ReEmerge.  That describes the Nueva Vida Health and Wellness Addictions Clearing Program in a nutshell. Why do other programs (rehab, 12 step) either work to a point or fail and why do people leave programs before they complete them?  What do they feel is missing and how does Nueva Vida Retreat fill that void in a way that encourages and sustains the guests who come for treatment of addiction?

The Pool and the Pacific

It is one thing for someone to go through detox and get the drugs out of their system. That is a matter of days – maybe a week or two for most.  Even heroin, nasty nightmare of a detox that it is; gone in a week and one would think that should be it. The truth is that detox is the easy part.  The difficulty lies in the reason, the trigger, the desire to go back and do it again. Who would do that to themselves?  The psyche of the user is the real issue. Heroin does not make anyone feel good unless they are already an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual mess. And that is the truth.

The Core Health Clearing Addictions program is 60 days for a reason.

Getting to the truth for each person is standardized to some degree throughout the 20 foundational group sessions of this program. They are lovingly and literally referred to as expansion levels because they expand the energetic expression and presence of the participant. You become a ‘bigger person’ as a Being.

In addition, the customized personal work that begins immediately in the first week is intense, private, and very specific. Naturally, issues of  identity, self worth, and relationships are a dominant element of the work.

In this program we build a solid self. Along with that, we provide a balance of social interaction, private time for rest and relaxation, and physical activities to decompress stress, promote weight release, and re-energize the body.

Massage and acupuncture promote a new level of physical and mental comfort. Acupuncture is a very helpful process for further detoxing the tissue, joints, and muscles of toxic chemicals related to stress, poor diet, and drugs.  Attendees of this program leave Nueva Vida Health and Wellness Retreat feeling very much in touch with themselves and their “new life.”

We offer a combination of programs geared to different time frames according to the needs and availability of our guests schedules. Our primary program is the Sixty Day Clearing Addictions Program. That program is for those who have dealt with addictions and other issues such as depression and anxiety for years. The 60 day  program can go into an additional 2-4 weeks if necessary.

We are confident that 60 days will be sufficient to accomplish the goal of ending the addiction IF that is what the participant wants and they participate fully and from the heart.

The Front Entry

We also offer  3o and 14 day programs geared to those with less intense addiction issues or more health and wellness issues related to dysfunctional or highly stressed lifestyles. We adapt our program either toward therapy and addictions or more toward health and wellness as our guests prefer. Total anonymity is guaranteed if  preferred.  Use of a pseudonym is then encouraged after arriving at the airport. Executives and professionals may bring laptops for scheduled use during their stay by prior arrangement.

Call Michael or Alexandra for further details or questions at 941-388-7552 or 941-227-3884 via our Sarasota office. Someone will return your call as quickly as possible if we are not immediately available to speak with you.

Come to our tropical oasis in Costa Rica and discover your new life.
