Abaton Belize Healing Center offers a numerous and ever-evolving unique array of therapeutic services. However, while we are always offering new exciting paths to heal, certain amenities will always be available at the center. Below are some of the many resources that will always be available to the visitors of Abaton Belize.
Dream Incubation
Dream incubation is core to the identity and mission of Abaton Belize and is the centerpiece of our approach towards healing. For an in depth explanation of the history and elements of this practice, visit our Dream Healing page. The namesake, Abaton, refers to the dream incubation sanctuaries, or “wombs”, in which patients sleep in order to receive a dream that heals their mental and physical ailments or at least points the way towards healing. Although dream incubation is still being practiced, our Abaton is the only active, permanent, and purposefully constructed sanctuary for dream incubation in the world. All patients will have the opportunity to seek divine healing within our chamber and get to experience the ancient powers of this largely forgotten practice. Although the method of dream healing has nearly died out in the modern world, at Abaton Belize the practice lives on.
Forest Bathing
Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku as it was called in its birthplace of Japan, is a powerful form of ecotherapy where “bathers” venture into nature to immerse themselves and allow their mind to still and contemplate the beauty of their surroundings. It has been scientifically proven that concentrating on the branches of a tree can reduce your stress levels up to sixty percent. By allowing your senses to connect to the environment around you, the innate connection between us and the ecosystem is restored and our body and minds are replenished and rejuvenated. The vibrant and lush forest of Belize is a treasure trove of natural beauty, a web of symbiotic exuberance where a plethora of flora and fauna weave into and around each other to create a living art piece like none other. Our certified forest trail helps our guests to indulge in this feast for the senses and soul, and to reap the many benefits that come with it.
Yoga
Our large yoga studio is open to all guests and provides a peaceful space for meditation, stretching, and exercise. Move your body and settle your mind while you look out over our water garden and into the beautiful Belizean forest and skies that surround you.
Aqua Therapy
Aqua (Water) Therapy has been used by many cultures for thousands of years to promote relaxation, muscle strengthening, healthy joint function, pain relief, and balance. Our natural swimming pond gives guests access to this way of healing as well as provides a blissful source of refuge and refreshment from the powerful Belizean sun. The natural filtration system ensures that there are no harmful chemicals in the water and that the pond is always clean and safe to swim in. The surrounding water garden also provides guests with a gorgeous array of aquatic plants to delight in as they enjoy the water.
Medicinal Food & Herbs
Abaton Belize has thousands of young fruit trees and local plants and more are being added every day. In two years we will be producing over 1.2 tons of food. This gives all guests direct access to the freshest produce possible. To properly heal, we must not only address the maladies of the mind, but also of the body, and this starts with the food that we use to nourish ourselves every day. Here at Abaton Belize, all guests will be fed naturally grown fruits and vegetables that come from the very soil they walk on every day. In addition, there are many plants grown at the center that have been used for thousands of years as remedies for almost any ailment or affliction. At times we will also have our local bush doctor provide herbs gathered from the deeper parts of the jungle.
BioHarmonics Technologies
Abaton Belize is the only place in the country where people can experience the therapeutic effects of full body vibrational resonance technology. Bioresonance Technology accesses a direct connection into human neurology and physiology through the biggest sensory organ in the body – the skin. This mechanism provides deep quick levels of meditation, relaxation, and cellular memory release. Some potential benefits of this sonic therapy are enhanced mood, deep relaxation, cell regeneration, increased mental clarity, clearing of cellular memory, and boosting the immune system.
Lymphstar
Our LET (Lymphatic Enhancement Technology) therapeutic system accelerates lymphatic drainage for tissue detoxification applications. LET lymphatic therapy improves the entire circulation of the body by encouraging the body to release toxins and accumulated fluid and proteins within the interstitium. As it improves lymphatic fluid flow it also works on the acupuncture meridian systems and points, clearing blocks and restoring balance. This process helps improve immune function, swelling, muscle pain, and much more.
Local Healers
Each visitor will have a one-on-one healing session with either a local bush doctor or a local Mayan healer. These Belizean natives are experts in ancient healing methods and natural medicines that have been practiced and utilized for thousands of years. Our local healers will craft an individual treatment and program for each visitor, specific to their needs.
