If you are seeking an appointment with wellness guru Dr Deepak Chopra, you’ll have to bypass a long list of celebrities, among them Oprah Winfrey and Barbra Streisand, to secure a session with the Indian healer. Getting an hour with him is tough enough, and five days is near impossible. Well, here’s some good news: we now have a direct line to the good doctor.
From 20 to 25 March, Rakxa Integrative Wellness in Bangkok has exclusively booked the well-being pioneer famed for advocating integrative medicine and personal transformation to host a purposeful longevity retreat in the “Green Lung” of Bangkok, Thailand. Located in Bang Krachao, Rakxa is a luxury wellness destination that combines East and West healing practices with modern science to provide guests with a holistic health recovery programme.
Chopra’s Life & Soul Longevity Retreat promises to be an experience that offers life- and routine-changing practices to improve one’s mental and physical health. Programmes include advanced spiritual meditations led by the wellness advocate, group pranayama sessions, longevity talks, as well as cutting-edge diagnostics and bespoke treatment plans. Chopra will speak about his “10 pillars of longevity” philosophy, followed by group dialogue and discussion sessions with Dr Anu Singh and Dr Manu Jaggi, who will expound on the science and personalisation of wellness, and guide participants through interactive sessions with dosha questionnaires to identify imbalances in the body, as well as aura and chakra readings.
“At the new Deepak Chopra Life & Soul Longevity Retreat with Rakxa in Thailand, we are combining the latest medical diagnostics [and] treatments with ancient healing wisdoms and teachings,” Chopra shares in an official statement. “We will work on all aspects of your well-being together. We are offering cutting-edge biomarkers for assessing health and biological fitness along with practical ways to regulate mind, body, and spirit as a unified process.”
A physical and mental vacation, this is shaping up to be a healing holiday with treatments that include, among others, both traditional and modern medical assessments and activities, energy healing sessions, oxygen therapy, Ayurvedic massages, acupuncture, intravenous infusions of antioxidant-rich formulas to restore body functions, and a traditional Thai detoxification ritual that uses a flaming herbal paste to target blood flow, digestion, and the lymphatic system. Famed for delicious food as Thailand is, the menu has been curated to provide nutritionally-dense dishes and personalised meals prepared with anti-inflammatory ingredients. Wellness comes from within and extends itself out.
“It is our belief that a joyful [and] energetic body, loving [and] compassionate heart, quiet [and] creative mind, and lightness of being, along with a self-regulating biology optimised for homeostasis, are the ideal landscape for longevity and health span,” concludes the soft-spoken healer. “This is the true example of integrative well-being at its best.”
