A Journey to Well Being 

                Breathe... now Breathe again. Healthful Holiday Preparations:

Your annual Holiday is an ideal place to define goals for improved well- being. The process of being in balance with mind, body, soul, and spirit or to make better conscious choices in engaging your five senses, there is no better time and place then whilst on holiday in Bali or beyond. At home, transition points, as well as at your final destination, are all ideal places to find mindful moments of well being.

Holiday well-being starts at home by arranging space for your travel materials, notes, resources, and yes, even pulling out your suitcase ~ take off the old baggage tags and wipe it down with some fresh scent like grapefruit. Replace ID tags with new tags as well as update your contact details to ensure luggage arrives safely and is easily identified, all of which will reduce your stress.

While you are creating space for travel, light candles for ambiance & open some windows for breathing fresh air. Prepare a small snack of organically grown fruit or crudités or try dark chocolate and red wine while you pack or read through travel websites. Keep your senses engaged to make this journey more inviting and create some calm in your life

Reduce reading materials by downloading podcasts or books at www.itunes.com, for a more restful journey look for classical options or meditations.

Review your holiday clothes ~ are they practical for the destination environment? For example, many island locations or boats are not suitable for extra tall heels or dry clean only clothing.

Stick to basics and keep it simple. Sun care products? Throw out unhealthy versions & visit www.ewg.org for safer products. Are your makeup products and personal care items necessary on a beach holiday? Find smaller sizes and try some new products, checkout
www.safecosmetics.org. 

Make your Reserve with us for a Wellness Journey on your Bali stop over. We at BaliWellnessJourneys will show you 'the best of the best' of Bali's wellness offerings. Our little island is just one big wellness resort.

OR, Schedule your Hotel Spa appointments in advance to ensure availability of your preferences. Ask about Complementary practices being available so you can enhance your physical health or satisfy your curiosity. Inquire of the Executive Chef and dining options appropriate to your health goals.

Think about your transit and in-flight time by organizing customized or special meal options; consider these periods a detoxifying time by ordering foods you like and are good for you. Follow the in-flight exercise suggestions with seat or walking options to ensure you are active. Listen to music instead of a movie, bring your own blanket by using a shawl or sarong from another holiday, bring a change of blouse or shirt to be refreshed upon arrival. Bring a note book for thoughts and observations during your journey.

Creating mindful moments while preparing for your destination will ensure a more enriching & rewarding holiday. Your Journey is never ending, continue to find opportunities to engage the senses and create that balance.
