A Zen take on Stress
Reignite Bliss and Find Your Zen with Stress Coaching at BlueZoneZen
Stress - unfortunately it is not a magic word! It's a word that's become all too familiar in today's fast-paced world. The demands and deadlines of work, the constant list of chores at home, and the constant race against time can leave us feeling drained and overwhelmed.
More and more people are getting trapped, feeling purposeless and helpless.
The figures are more than alarming on stress and here are some for thought. With 77% of people feel stress that has some impact on their physical health*, and 1 in 4 people globally reported more stress in 2023**.
In the past year, 74% of people have felt so stressed they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope***
There is an urgency for organisations like BlueZoneZen to step up and act, so clients can sail to calmer waters.
When mental health issues, depression, feelings of loneliness and insomnia through the roof across generations, when a college wide Facebook access led to a 7% increase in severe depression among students ****, and according to experts and preliminary research social media addiction’ may be more difficult to detox from than heroin.
Our mission is to offer a personalised U-turn towards a lifelong balanced, happy and healthy you.
A Zen take on Stress
What if there is a way to rediscover the inner bliss that stress has a habit of robbing from us?
BlueZoneZen’s sessions and experts provide the escape route you or your loved ones need.
At BlueZoneZen, stress and wellness coaching isn't just about finding relief; it's about uncovering your zen and embracing the serenity that's been lying dormant within you.
Inspired by the tranquillity and lifestyle of the Blue Zones across the world, that Dan Buettner in his publication details and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition School refers to as POWER 9 - which we will be discussing in the next article with detail - we are here with our services guiding you with tips and ideas to reignite the lifestyles of the Blue Zones to achieve your bliss and zen, even if life is ever so often demanding.
Blissful Beginnings: Exploring Relaxation Techniques
The stress coaching journey commences with exploring relaxation techniques designed to unlock that sense of clarity and bliss within you.
It's about offering a diverse toolkit of methods that cater to your unique needs.
Here's a glimpse of what awaits you at BlueZoneZen’s Wellness Space
Escaping Everyday Stressors: Vibrational retreat with biohacking tools, gentle movements, energy balancing and sound relaxation techniques.
Peter Hess Sound Resonance & Sound Meditation Method
Could it get better than this? Imagine being enveloped by the enchanting sounds of the Peter Hess singing bowls, their vibrations resonating through your body, reaching your cells. It's an immersive experience that transports you to a realm of tranquillity. As the harmonic tones during a sound meditation or a Peter Hess basic sound massage wash over you, you'll feel the grip of stress loosen, as if carried away by the soothing melodies. We immerse in the vibrational universe that offers respite from the relentless rhythm of life.
Gentle Yoga Practising
Dive into the world of tailored gentle & restorative yoga practices that cater to your individual needs. Yoga is so much more than movement. Finding a practitioner who delivers continuously at 110% is hard to come by but not for us. At BlueZone Zen we know quality as we experienced it personally for years and as we strive to make excellence a habit.
As Francesca Monforte, partner, details, “For me Yoga is not just the movement of the body;
it’s the dance of the soul, a harmonious melody of spirit and breath.”
Ayurveda
Explore the age-old wisdom of Ayurveda which guides you in understanding how to bring balance and vitality into your life whilst rejuvenating your essence.
“Ayurveda is a way of life that reminds you of the simplicity of life and
the balance we must maintain internally and externally to avoid getting sick”
- says Natalia Aimetta, partner.
Biohacking Tools and Techniques
An ancient wisdom has been rediscovered and accompanied by modern science. It is no surprise to learn that working with singing bowls is part of the top 10 biohacking tools out there currently and with their vibrations and sounds we aim to harmonise and rebalance the entire body, mind. “More cutting-edge biohacking tools, to keep your brains sharp and cells in good shape, are to be launched in the coming months at our Wellness Space, BlueZoneZen”- states Szilvi Galambos, founder.

You can experience all the above in one workshop with your friends or family in person during our half-day workshop series, and in our bespoke packages where the programme is tailored to your bio-individual needs. We focus on everything mind-body-soul experience from DEEP RELAXATION, RENEWAL to RESTORATION, working away from the problems and finding long-lasting solutions. Are you ready for it?
Maintaining the 'OM' Feeling: Nourishing the Nervous System
Stress coaching isn't just about momentarily finding serenity. It's about sustaining that 'OM' feeling - the state of tranquil mindfulness that we all crave.
It's the art of maintaining emotional equilibrium even amidst life's tempests.
This is where the above methods, the biohacking technique of sound massage and sound baths come into play. These methods use vibrational frequencies to recalibrate your nervous system, enveloping you in a profound sense of balance, and working on releasing the blockages. The beauty is that this equilibrium lingers long after the session ends, leaving you with a lasting feeling of Zen.
Fueling Serenity: Nutrients for Mind, Body, and Soul
The journey of stress coaching at BlueZoneZen takes a holistic approach to well-being with a 12 pillar plan, extending its embrace to your dietary choices.
Diet and nutrition are not merely about sustenance but are one of the key elements in your quest for inner peace.
Consider incorporating magnesium-rich foods combined and magnesium chelates into your daily meals to promote relaxation. Our favourite Magnesium formula currently is a 4 chelate version from Neutrient or the L-threonate from Altrient.
Omega-3 fatty acids or pure DHA or adaptogen formula as well as a good B vitamin complex can work wonders for our entire being.
Essential vitamins, particularly Vitamin D, are essential for mental well-being, while herbal teas like chamomile and lavender offer soothing relief.
Szilvi currently loves the relaxing tea mix from the mountains of Ikaria, sourced from a small health shop during the last visit and studies on Blue Zones and Sound Therapy . This Ikarian tea composition is hand collected during the appropriate time of full Moon when the potency of the herbs are strongest. A relaxing mix, specially formulated with wild herbs inducing a calming effect where the healing properties are captured due to the ancient knowledge of the locals of Ikaria, Blue Zone.
Upcoming: More on Blue Zones, Ikaria and Everything Skin
In one of the forthcoming articles, you will get insights into the world of Ikaria and its habitants as well as digging deeper to find key elements that seem to make the difference in the Blue Zones when it comes to longevity.
Also, we will be discussing all things skin and glow to give the head start for the Festive season.
To conclude, investing in yourself means embracing life with tranquillity and equanimity.
Your journey to rediscover your inner clarity, peace, harmony and zen begins now. I hope you join us on the journey.
You belong here.
Szilvi, Founder, BlueZoneZen
