These first days of our 99 day quest to find the finest retreat venue in the known universe were spent in Tokyo. We were privileged to spend most of the time with Japanese friends who showed us around the city and then outside of the town to a peninsula on the beach. A good deal of our time was food focused and those delicious moments are captured on margotunlimited Instagram and Facebook. Please do follow along with all our foodie discoveries like fluffy Japanese pancakes, Shabu Shabu, shaved coconut ice with grapes and cream, Japanese curry and burnt tea ice cream….

Personally, I love the differential, respectful way of being that the Japanese live by. I have taken to heart the philosophy of Marie Kondo – not so much just for the tidying up aspect of her approach to creating harmony in life – but for the way she treats the houses and their belongings when she is helping people to create order in their lives. She will ask the owners of a house if she may greet the house. They have no idea what that means but they give her their consent (they are on TV after all) and so she goes on her knees and takes two minutes to ask the house to work with her in helping its residents to create order and harmony by the tidying up process they are about to embark upon. She asks for co-operation and collaboration to achieve the end desire.

Now this might sound a bit of a stretch for those of us who are not used to to thinking about inanimate objects such as clothes or houses or computers (one of my favourite ones) as having any energetic value but, stay with me while we explore this a bit, because the thinking behind it is also a deeply important aspect of what we do at Margot Unlimited and what we will be covering on our retreats. Actually if you have ever been with someone who gave thanks before eating and requested that the food be “blessed to our body” or that “the hands that made it” would be blessed, that is kind of what I’m saying. We begin with a blessing – bless this food, this person, this house. But then we take it further and thank it – thank you for its service, for the job they do for you, for the things in our lives that contribute to our happiness. At this is the point Marie would speak to the items that her clients had decided they no longer needed, thank them for their service and set them free (aka give them away).

At Margot Unlimited we take this concept further with our therapy and we show our clients how to speak to their amazing minds and to instruct their body to follow those instructions.
Have you ever thanked your body for the amazing way it takes care of you – managing and renewing all your life-supporting systems. It gives you life, it gives you breath, heals you on an ongoing and constant basis – little cuts, little bruises, little burns and wounds. It’s incredible.

I suggest today you look at your body and thank it for all it does for you and all that it is. Then ask it to work co-operatively and collaboratively with you to achieve what you want – name any issue, be it weight or health. Once you have done that, you can instruct it which is what we do with you in our therapy.

It might look like this “Thank you my amazing, intricate and beautiful body for all you do for me. I am so happy and thankful for the incredible way you care for and support me. I request your absolute cooperation in restoring my …… (name the part or thing that’s bothering you) to the perfect health it is designed for so that I might live my life to the full. I am now directing my brilliant subconscious mind to follow my instructions to repair, renew and restore this and every aspect of my body to perfect health.”

My point here is this that your body is already healing you but it’s up to you to extend that healing to the bigger issues – not just little cuts and bruises. It knows how to restore you, so ask it to do it. In our therapy we go even further and use Command Cell Therapy which is incredibly powerful. We speak to your body in no uncertain terms to do what it already knows how to do and was designed to do. Its job is to heal you and keep you well.

I hope you’ll give these ideas some consideration. If what you have tried thus far has not achieved what you want i.e. Ideal Weight and Perfect Health, then this may just be what you have been waiting for.

We have three retreats in the pipeline. One in April ’24 in the Wairarapa, New Zealand, and one in June ’24 in Europe and where that is going to be will be determined by the outcome of this 99 day investigative quest. And the last one is our Virtual Retreat for Ideal Weight which will be available very soon.
Our in person Retreats are for Perfect Health and our Virtual Retreats are for Ideal Weight though we also address health on day three.

Feel free to book a chat if you want to know more.
