Reset Cycle: gently recalibrating body and mind

There’s no better time than the end of the year to do some deep self-reflection and to ask yourself all the right questions, even if that means re-evaluating your eating habits, lifestyle and sporting activities. Literal hibernation may be a step too far, but these chilly months do provide the perfect opportunity to take things slow and make time for yourself… ensuring you emerge feeling fully refreshed!

When winter strikes

Characterised by shorter days and a naturally slower pace, the coldest season of the year offers an ideal environment in which to refocus and engage in self-reflection. From grey skies and bare trees to windy spells and cool temperatures, everything appears to be a sign to stay inside, inspiring short breaks in snug settings and moments of introspection and rest.

Symbolically, this transition season marks the end of a cycle, preparing us for the renewal of springtime. This is an invitation to take stock of our well-being, rid ourselves of the unnecessary and indulge in deep regeneration. But this introspective pause is by no means the time to give up or slack off; it’s an occasion to practice mental and physical self-care by cultivating calming practices.

Synonymous with simplicity, intimacy and authenticity, winter allows us to reconnect with our fundamental needs while preparing us to welcome in the fresh start to come.

Press pause

The festive season, often accompanied by excess in many forms, is also an opportunity to focus on self-care and to rebalance the body so as to reduce the impact of heavier meals and decreased physical activity. Essentially, it’s the ideal time to undergo a deep cleanse in order to gently soothe and heal the body.

Also known as a detox, this process enables you to eliminate toxins accumulated in the body by eating a healthy diet containing locally sourced, seasonal, organic produce that is rich in nutrients, and by staying thoroughly hydrated. The act of rebalancing can be optimised by regular physical activity to stimulate blood flow and strengthen the immune system.

From a mental health perspective, unplugging helps to reduce anxiety and chronic stress and improve sleep quality thanks to breathing techniques, treatments and massages which allow you to reconnect with yourself and your vitality.

A deep detoxification

Following a TANITA bioimpedance analysis, which measures body fat and water percentages as well as muscle and bone mass, the Reset Cycle includes three daily treatments over a three-to-six-day period, such as Iyashi Dôme therapy, wraps and drainage massages, which detoxify, sculpt and slim the silhouette.

From nutritional consultations and personal training to hypnosis and emotional management, participants are free to select their own booster sessions, resulting in personalised rebalancing programmes tailored to their specific needs. In terms of the meals on offer, menus are based on energy-boosting cuisine and the principle of chrononutrition; every dish is a careful blend of exceptional flavours and nutrients needed by the body.

Overall, it’s an interlude of pure well-being, inspiring introspection, relaxation and self-reflection. Ready for a total reset? Book your Reset Cycle at the Cures Marines Hotel & Spa Trouville MGallery or by phone at +33 2 31 14 26 00.
