Complimentary Therapies

PEMF Therapy

PEMF therapy is a powerful ally during fasting, helping your body adapt with greater ease and balance. As your system shifts into detox and repair mode, PEMF supports cellular regeneration by improving circulation, oxygenation and energy production. This can ease fatigue, brain fog and the physical tensions that sometimes arise as the body detoxifies.
‍
Fasting often brings energetic imbalances to the surface and PEMF helps synchronise our bodies with the earth’s natural frequencies, promoting cellular repair and restoring balance in the body’s electrical systems. It grounds your nervous system, calming anxiety, lifting mood and helping you stay centred and present. It encourages deep rest and parasympathetic healing, amplifying the regenerative effects of your fast.

Contrast Therapy

Contrast therapy combines infrared sauna + ice bath, magnifying many of the fasting benefits in gentle, powerful ways.

Sitting in the Infrared Sauna warms you from the inside, dilating vessels, increasing circulation, encouraging sweating. This helps mobilise and release fat‐soluble toxins, warms your core without heavy energy demand and supports detox during the fast. Then, plunging into the Ice Bath triggers vasoconstriction, reduces inflammation, flushes metabolic waste, improves immune signalling and lymphatic drainage as well as boosting immunity and mental clarity via cold‐shock hormones.
‍
Alternating between heat and cold (sauna → ice bath → repeat) enhances thermogenesis (fat burning), supporting metabolic flexibility, strengthening the nervous system, calming the mind and anchoring the fast in resilience rather than strain.

The Magnesium Pool & Bali Hut

Imagine floating in the outdoor solar heated pool filled with the healing energy of the Dead Sea minerals as your nervous system unwinds. The pool is surrounded by the beauty of lush tropical gardens with the most expansive and beautiful view over of the magnificent Border ranges and beyond.

Curl up on the sumptuous cushions in the gorgeous Bali Hut with a delicious freshly squeezed organic juice or a cup of garden picked herbal tea. Feel the internal cogs
starting to unwind and the beginnings of a new and inviting path forward.

Journey Work

Fasting is not just a physical cleanse... it’s an invitation inward. When paired with Journey work, the experience deepens, opening space for emotional release, clarity and profound reconnection. As the body quietens and digestion rests, old patterns, stories and emotions naturally rise to the surface. Journey work gently guides you through these layers, helping you meet what’s ready to be seen with compassion and presence.
‍
In the fasting state, the veil between conscious and subconscious thins. You’re more attuned, more receptive. This is a powerful time to access insight, clear emotional residue and realign with your true essence. Journey work becomes a sacred tool... not to fix but to remember.

Together, fasting and Journey work create a sacred pause. A moment to honour where you’ve been, release what’s no longer yours, and soften into the truth of who you are becoming.

Iridology and Sclerology

Iridology and Sclerology offer a unique window into the body’s inner terrain, revealing where vitality flows freely and where stagnation may reside. During fasting, as the body shifts into deep repair and detoxification, these gentle, non-invasive diagnostic tools can offer powerful insights.
‍
By observing the Iris (iridology) and the whites of the eyes (Sclerology), practitioners can identify signs of stress, toxicity, inflammation and constitutional strengths or weaknesses. This guidance can help tailor your fasting journey, highlighting which organs may need extra support, where to focus energy or when to slow down and nurture.
‍
In a time when the body is already healing, Iridology and Sclerology act like a map, affirming your path and clarifying the deeper messages your body may be whispering. It’s about listening more deeply. These practices help you understand your body more clearly, with compassion, curiosity and reverence for your own inner healing.

Movement

Movement during fasting is not about effort, it’s about flow. Gentle practices like walking, stretching, intuitive exercise and lymphatic movement become sacred tools for awakening the body’s natural intelligence. As your system detoxifies, movement helps energy circulate, supports lymphatic drainage and encourages the release of what no longer serves... physically, emotionally,
energetically.
‍
Walking in nature reconnects you to rhythm and breath. Stretching creates spaciousness, not just in the body but in the mind. Lymphatic movements invite your body to soften, open and release, thereby enhancing the natural cleansing fasting brings. Even subtle gestures can shift stagnant energy and bring you home to presence.
‍
Rather than push or perform, daily movement during a fast is highly recommended as a way to listen and to feel where tension lives, to honour what’s shifting, to return to flow.

Sound Therapy

Sound therapy, particularly through the resonant tones of drum and crystal bowls, offers a profound support during fasting by harmonising the body, mind, and spirit. These instruments create vibrations that facilitate deep relaxation, reduce stress, and promote emotional balance.
‍
The rhythmic beats of the drum can stimulate the body’s energy flow, while the pure tones of crystal bowls resonate with the body’s energy centres, aiding in the release of blockages and enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
‍
This synergy not only supports physical detoxification but also nurtures mental clarity and emotional well-being. Engaging in sound therapy during fasting can deepen the experience, fostering a sense of inner peace and alignment with one’s healing journey.

Enemas

During fasting, the body naturally enters a deep state of cleansing, where detoxification deepens and old waste and toxins can be stirred up and begin to move.
‍
An enema is a gentle, supportive ritual that helps the body release what it no longer needs. As we fast the digestive system slows to a halt and without regular elimination, this build up may cause discomfort, fatigue or emotional heaviness.
‍
An enema offers relief by clearing the colon, lightening the system, and allowing energy to flow more freely. It supports liver and lymphatic function, reduces toxic load, and can ease symptoms like bloating, headaches or irritability.
‍
More than just a physical cleanse, the process can be deeply grounding. It is a way to honour the body’s wisdom and assist its natural rhythms. In this way, enemas during fasting are not invasive, but a gentle act of self-care: releasing, softening, and creating space for renewal from the inside out.

Fasting supports

When fasting, our systems lean deeply into cleansing, regeneration and subtle energetic shifts. Tools like the Chi machine, Rebounder, and Vibration plate can tenderly support the body and lymphatic flow without overwhelming the system. Together, these modalities help
maintain energetic circulation, ease stagnation and amplify the cleansing of the fast.

• The Chi machine offers a gentle swaying motion stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage. Clinical trials report reductions in fluid retention and extracellular fluid after consistent use. It moves your body passively and is an invitation for stagnant fluids to mobilise, especially during fasting when detox pathways are active.
• A Rebounder (mini trampoline) works via subtle bouncing that creates a pumping effect in lymph vessels. This rhythmic lift and fall supports detox, encourages fluid movement and gently wakes up the lower-body channels.
• The Vibration plate pulses micro‐movements through muscles, causing contractions that act like an internal pump for lymph circulation and removal of metabolic waste.
  

Forest Bathing

Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is a Japanese practice of immersing oneself in the natural environment to promote health and well-being. Unlike traditional hiking or nature walks, it focuses on mindfulness and engaging your senses as you walk through the forest, appreciating the sounds, smells, and sights of nature.
‍
Engaging in forest bathing can support the fasting journey by reducing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure and boosting the immune system. It encourages deep breathing and relaxation, which can enhance the body’s ability to detoxify and rejuvenate. We recommend you regularly connect with the natural environment at Wind Spirit as forest bathing allows you to connect, calm the mind and supports the body’s natural healing processes during fasting.

Breathing

Breathing deeply during a fast... whether through 7 rounds of 7 or slow conscious breaths is a powerful way to invite calm and presence. As digestion slows, your nervous system can soften and breath becomes a bridge between body, mind and spirit. Each intentional inhale fills your cells with fresh oxygen, fuelling energy and clarity, while each gentle exhale helps release toxins and tension
held in the body.
‍
Respiration is a major detoxification pathway where we breath out acids, releasing toxic waste. It also enhances lymphatic flow and circulation, further amplifying the body’s natural detox pathways. The regular rhythmic nature of breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging healing, restoration, and emotional balance. In these moments of breath, fasting
becomes more than abstinence; it becomes a moving meditation, a practice of surrender and a doorway to deeper self-awareness and renewal.

Water

Drinking plenty of pure water becomes essential to support the fasting process. Without the usual flow of food your system works hard to detox, releasing wastes, shedding old cells and shifting metabolic pathways. Water helps flush these byproducts, easing the load on your liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system.
‍
Hydration also cushions the intensity of fasting. It soothes fatigue, eases headaches, supports clarity, and hydrates the colon. On an energetic level, water invites flow where there might be stagnation... physically and emotionally. Adding trace minerals or a pinch of sea salt will further
support your fast, especially over longer periods.
