Choose Again Attitudinal Healing Center in Costa Rica

Body

When people come to our center they are often profoundly fatigued. Just getting up in the morning may seem like too much effort. Rarely do they realize that it is their thinking, their judging and their relentless attacks on the self that has tired them out. You may know the saying: ‘If I treated my friends the way I treat myself I wouldn’t have any friends’. It is time to become your own best friend.

Nothing happens in your body without a direction from your mind.

You are in the habit of looking outside of yourself for causes: ‘my job is too demanding’, ‘I hate my boss’, ‘my kids drive me crazy’, ‘my husband never lifts a finger’, ‘I don’t have time for exercise’, ‘I don’t have enough money’. Do any of these sound familiar? Is it surprising that so many seek refuge in medication or some form of self - medication? Medication (legal or illegal) only masks the symptoms of depression, none actually cure depression.  There is, however, a way of being in the world that is joyful and inspired; free from the ever present wet blanket.

At Choose Again we teach that it isn’t the outside world that wears you, out it is your thinking. Your thoughts and feelings are chosen by your beliefs. Every time you have a feeling (chosen by a belief) you send bio-chemicals into your cells. You actually have become addicted to those bio-chemicals. You are, believe it or not, addicted to your feelings.

While working on your beliefs it is vitally important to start by taking care of your  body. Healthy nutrition is the first step. Walks in the beautiful hills and rain forest surrounding the center, yoga, meditation and swimming in Lake Arenal are all components of the Choose Again healing program. Gyrotonic exercise, Pilates, volcanic hot springs, bodywork and massage are additional tools available.
