Wellness, Qigong and Healing!
Wellness Sessions
The most dangerous enemies for our mind, body and spirits are own Five Life Poisons. If we do not free ourselves from these poisons, our mind, body and spirit will always be fighting obstacles that create problems with our self, health, family, work and financial relationships.
AnnapurnaBlue's Unique wellness sessions introduce students to The Five Life Poisons of our daily lives.
These Five Poisons, Ignorance, Anger, Attachment, Ego and Jealousy, are a central cause of suffering in our daily lives. They are our negative emotional reactions to a particular situation. We may react to a situation with aversion, attachment, envy, pride, or other negative emotions, directing these negative emotions at the people we believe are responsible for the problem. The arising of the Five Poisons is always harmful to us.
When we are able to look inside ourselves, we realize that the Five Life Poisons are our own emotions. The other person, the one who we think “causes” us to have the negative emotion, may be unaware or unconcerned by our emotions.
AnnapurnaBlue’s team of professionals and world wide studies have proven, in order to have our lives function properly, we need to learn how to acknowledge and manage the Five Life Poisons and to replace the poisons with wisdom.
Modern science has shown how our mental and physical health improves drastically when we recognize, reduce, or eliminate our Five Life Poisons, promoting mental and physical healing and balance.
During this retreat, you will learn the damage of any or all of the Five Life Poisons have upon our mental and physical body. By the end of the retreat, you will understand, and learn the tools to minimize the damage The Five Poisons has done to us, and how to counteract them and turn them into positive energy to improve our lives.
Qigong - Studies have shown,
practicing qigong can improve fitness, reduce anxiety and depression, lower blood pressure, relieve chronic pain, strengthen the immune and respiratory systems, and improve overall well-being.
We feel fortunate to have Bo Blichfeldt as the Qigong Instructor.
Qigong uses simple poses and breathing patterns to promote a healthy flow and reduce stagnation of qi. Proper flow of "qi" can help the body engage its own healing processes.

How To Get To The Resort in Montezuma, Costa Rica.
Hotel Amor de Mar is located on the Nicoya Penisula on a beach town called Montezuma. We are a 10 minute walk from the center of town, right across the street from the waterfall.
The Staff at the hotel are happy to arrange these services for you at no additional cost.
Taxi boat with Zuma Tours
In our opinion, this is the best way to reach Montezuma! Take a shuttle from the airport/hotel to Herradura beach. There will be a one-hour taxi boat ride that will take care of your luggage so that you can just sit back and enjoy the view. Arriving at the shores of Montezuma it is a short 10 min walk to the hotel. If you carry heavy bags, they will provide a car to bring your luggage.
Approximate duration – 2 1/2 hours
Airplane
This would be the fastest way to Montezuma. A quick 25-minute flight from the domestic airport in San Jose plus a short 25-minute taxi ride will get you to the hotel in no time!
You can fly either with Sansa Airlines or Green airways.
Approximate duration- I hour
Shuttle Service
Another way to get here is via shuttle from San Jose or Liberia. The shuttle picks you up either from the airport or your hotel depending on their operating schedule. Please contact us and we will arrange the shuttle for you.
Approximate duration- 4 and 1/2 hours
