A Beautiful Day is more than just a company. It is a true sanctuary: an extraordinary healing retreat : a peaceful, harmonious destination…a  natural and sustainable environment for people from all walks of life to come and “unplug“ from the rest of the world for awhile.
 
At the highest level, we strive to provide an opportunity for a conscious exchange of positive thoughts and action in a natural, healing environment. We believe that creative expression, harmonious living and a natural environment is crucial to healing. We envision people from around the world coming together to refresh their spirit and explore their creativity while attaining a healthy balance in their body and mind. We see A Beautiful Day as an incubator location for participants to connect with nature and create a collective consciousness for growth and change. We use a holistic approach in a healthy environment. We encourage visitors to listen closely to their own voice, and to take the time while they are here to experience true peace. Our goal is to promote well-being across the globe, even in remote regions, and to humanity as a whole.


A Beautiful Day is located in the rainforest on the Big Island of Hawai’i. It is a unique property in that it has magnificent old growth trees.  On this island, much of the landscape was burned eighty years ago from the lava flow. But on this property over a hundred varieties, some  endemic, some very rare huge old trees exist. There are also numerous beautiful tropical plants. The surrounding lots  have much smaller, younger trees. We are surrounded on all sides by unoccupied land, so there is a "buffer zone" for added privacy. 

This property is a true sanctuary and a unique destination. It is a beautiful place to experience peace so that those passing through may take it with them out into the world. We are close to the active volcano, near rugged coastlines, warm ponds, waterfalls, the bustling town of Hilo. We are even close enough to go swimming with the dolphins.

We live a simple lifestyle here: catchment water for bathing and drinking, vegetable and herb gardens, with some hand-built simple structures, and even a treehouse. We  are striving for sustainability. Many of our trees bear fruit. We raise chickens, geese and ducks for eggs. We also have a miniature donkey and a goat, dwarf bunnies, guinea pigs and two cuddly cats.

We have a stone circle for rituals and prayer and a fire circle for gatherings. We offer simple structures and accommodations for visitors. We believe that this is the kind of place that can allow people to “unplug” from the rest of the world and recharge their batteries. We see this as an opportunity for people (and the planet) to embrace nature and the environment as a road to peace and well-being.

We believe that everyone needs the time to heal and a place to “hear themselves think,” a place to listen to their soul. We have created this retreat as a place for people to listen ...to become quiet and experience ancient and modern healing modalities. we have created the following programs to be an exceptional opportunity for change.

NEUROCRANIAL RESTRUCTURING (NCR)
What is NCR?
NCR is a physical treatment that was developed to help with a variety of ailments. Although it is a relatively new technique, an older form of it has been practiced for nearly 100 years and there is some evidence that similar techniques were used as far back as ancient Egypt. NCR is a more specific form of what is known as bilateral nasal specific technique (BNST). BNST is taught to chiropractors and naturopathic doctors at various schools. NCR, by being less general, it is able to achieve better results without the force that was previously necessary. Put simply, it is a method of adjusting the sphenoid bone, which sits in the center of your skull and connects to
virtually every other bone in your head.

How does NCR work?
Your body is in a constant search for balance. When our skull is not in proper alignment the rest of your body will attempt to compensate by changing the way we sit and stand. This creates a habit of poor posture. Other traumas, such as whiplash, force your body out of alignment in a matter of
seconds. This sends your bones and muscles into a state of shock from which they will often not recover on their own. People often report chronic pain after severe accidents. By adjusting the sphenoid bone you allow for the rest of your body to fall into alignment. This takes tension of the
skeletal system and allows your muscles to relax. Placing your skull in an optimal alignment also allows for maximum blood flow and neurotransmitter activity throughout the central nervous system.

What can I expect from an NCR series?
An NCR series consists of 4 treatments done over 4 consecutive days. The treatments for each day are the same, but doing one a day over several days allows for maximum positive movement.
You will get a special form of bodywork done, which puts the body in a more balanced state so that the treatment will be more effective and the results will last longer. After the bodywork you will be assessed and then positioned on the table with the help of an assistant. A small nasal balloon will then be inserted into your nose and quickly inflated, deflated, and removed. The
process is not painful and is often compared to getting water up your nose. The whole process will be gone over in more detail on your first day and everything will be explained along the way so that there are no surprises. After a series it is recommended that you do not do any abnormally
strenuous activity for a couple of weeks to give your body time to adjust to the new alignment.

What is NCR good for?
NCR is an amazing therapy for a variety of issues, including headaches, migraines, sinus issues, snoring, neck pain, jaw pain, and back pain. It can also have an effect on conditions relating to he central nervous system, such as learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, or depression. Many times
patients will come in for one complaint and find that another issue has also resolved. For instance, a person comes in for headaches and finds that their low back pain has disappeared. Some patients find complete relief after one series; others require several over the course of months or
years. Often this depends on the duration of the complaint and the severity of the problem.

Why I practice NCR
by Dr. Sarah Strong
I first learned about NCR years ago when a friend recommended that I try it for my chronic migraines.Having exhausted virtually every other option with little to no success, I decided it was worth a try.The first day I received NCR I slept through an entire night with no pain and no headache
for the first time in years. With my first series I went from three migraines a week to one the whole month. I have had several series since then, mostly after experiencing physical trauma,and have only have one migraine in the past year and a half. I decided that I needed to learn this
treatment and bring the relief to others that I had experienced. Going through this treatment made me more and more interested in helping others with their chronic pain. Listening to people in the waiting room tell their stories only made me more determined. After finishing my medical
egree I attended a week-long intensive workshop where I learned and practiced these techniques, with amazing results. I am thrilled to be able to share this therapy with others.

COLON CLEANSE PROGRAM

Our colon cleanse program helps to cleanse your colon of toxins, parasites and dried fecal matter.

If you are feeling sluggish or nauseous, have stomach pains, indigestion or need to lose weight you may have a congested colon. Your colon is a segmented tube within the abdomen cavity averaging about 4½ feet long and 2½ inches wide.

Your colon is a dumping ground of your body. If for some reason it becomes blocked, congested or plugged up and starts to accumulate toxic waste, then your body is poisoned as well!

In turn, this condition could lead to serious health problems and to countless symptoms.

When your colon is congested and stagnant with waste, the poisons backup into your body and starts to pollute, contaminate, and infect it. Your body is now prone to several life threatening diseases.

You may not know it but the colon is the largest contributor to disease of any organ in the body. It is said to be the initiator of 80% of all critical illness!

Medical science acknowledges that up to 85% or more of all adults suffer from some type of intestinal problem.

So when your colon is not functioning properly, the cycle of degeneration begins within your system. Your digestion suffers and this affects every living cell, tissue, and organ in your body.

The undigested food in your colon begins to rot and create an over acidic condition. The friendly bacteria (also known as probiotic bacteria) begin to die off, creating a low oxygen environment for disease-producing bacteria, virus, fungi, molds, parasites or yeast infections.

The accumulation of toxins or poisons within your body can build up in the lymph and bloodstream. This condition is called “autointoxication" or self-poisoning.

In plain English, this simply means that you’re being poisoned from inside your body without you knowing what’s actually going on!

It is our diet and lifestyle that’s slowly but surely killing us. Colon cleansing can help to:

• Improve your immune system
• Reverse numerous health disorders
• Improve the overall quality of your life

Now, you can stop suffering in silence from these painful, inconvenient, and often embarrassing, if not life threatening, disorders by simply improving your digestion and detoxifying your system.

 

These are some of the steps that you can take so you can maintain a clean and healthy colon: A. Diet and Lifestyle Changes The problem with our society is that most of the foods and beverages that we consume each day have been changed radically and subjected to processes that remove most of the essential nutrients needed by the human body to function efficiently and effectively.

Studies have shown that more than half of the vitamins and minerals are lost during cooking and food processing. Artificial sweeteners and flavorings as well as chemical preservatives are also added to processed food that adds to the build-up of toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, most especially the colon.

These chemical additives also become a source of food for parasites like parasitic worms and bacteria in your colon. Imagine having uninvited guests living in your gut!

To complicate matters, these parasites also contribute to your health problems by flourishing and multiplying in your colon until their build-up results in your illness.

Beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidus spp. (also known as probiotic bacteria) perform several functions:

• Produce essential vitamins needed by the body such as Vitamin K and biotin (a member of the vitamin B complex)
• Ferment or breakdown complex sugars like carbohydrates
• Produce hormones that signal the body to store fats
• Increase the acidity of the intestinal tract to prevent or inhibit the disease-causing microorganisms from multiplying inside the gut

4.  Drink less coffee, tea and cocoa since these beverages are diuretics and may compel you to urinate more often. In the process, you become dehydrated.

The last thing you want to happen is to drain the fluids in your body. The human body is 80% fluids. The more fluids you have in your system, the better.

The more dehydrated you are, the more prone you are to constipation which could lead to a host of intestinal problems. Avoid carbonated drinks like sodas at all cost! 

5.  Get plenty of exercise if possible. Have at least two 15 minute walks a day.

The purpose here is to greatly increase circulation so that your body can flush out toxins more easily. Regular exercise aids in digestion and in bowel movement.

6.  Last but not the least, keep a positive mental attitude. Don’t harbor any ill will against anyone.

Any pent-up emotions such as envy, jealousy and anger will affect your digestion and eventually lead to constipation. So, it won’t hurt to smile once in a while!
