healing

At The Hundred, we consciously hold space for you to grow while we support you to heal, thrive and go through powerful transformations into the authentic, healthy, glowing you.  We are here to show you it is possible to not settle for a lesser life than the amazing one you’re meant to have.
And we are honoured to facilitate and offer you the tools needed to achieve this. One of these tools is Theta healing. It is said that Theta Healers are now on the forefront of mapping the mind/body/energy connection. And whom better to facilitate these sessions other than the Wonder Woman of Wellness herself Maya Badran. We have had the pleasure in working with Maya over the last year as she facilitated the very successful ‘Forgiveness clinics’ here at the centre. As Theta healing is relatively new to many of you, we sat down with Maya to ask her more about her process and what to expect from a session with her.

Hello Maya, can you tell us a bit more about what you do? I am a ThetaHealing Practitioner and Instructor. I use a technique called ThetaHealing, where I can assist my clients to change negative beliefs/blocks in their subconscious mind using the Theta Brain wave. Once these blocks have been changed, the person can live their life without being held back by these limitations. For ex: if someone has a phobia, I will do a process called “digging” to reach the root cause of the phobia, and once we release that block from the subconscious mind, the client will no longer have the phobia. It is pretty simple and very effective. The same work can be done to release fears, war traumas, traumas of abuse, abandonment, death of a loved one, divorce or breakup associated emotional pain. Thetahealing is very well known for the great effect it has on helping people forgive themselves and others and also on manifesting great thing into one’s life too, ex: a job, a bonus, a partner, etc…In summary, ThetaHealing empowers people with tools to free them from fear, to show them the truth of the world that we live in, to help them manifest true health and anything else they might desire into their lives, to guide them into finding their life’s purpose which will create a deep sense of fulfilment and everlasting happiness. 

What in your opinion is the reason for the rapid growth in theta and energy healing? I believe the planet is awakening to the realization that the power is within us (not outside of us), that we are not victims or passengers on this journey. And with this realization comes empowerment. By realizing that we create our reality (including our health & wellbeing) with our thoughts and words, therefore we become more accountable to choose more positive thinking and communication. The only reason something become main stream is because people are seeing tangible results. People are becoming more aware and they now understand more than ever that it is a mind game (mind over matter). People now want to turn in for answers, they want to learn the tools that will help them in shifting their realities, they feel that there is much more to this world than what meets the eye and they are curious to know more about how this universe works and how to make the best out of this journey. 

Would you say that Theta healing is an alternative to seeing a traditional psychologist or therapist? ThetaHealing compliments all conventional therapies, especially that a ThetaHealer cannot prescribe any kind of medication that the client might need. Therefore, we work hand in hand with doctors and psychologists/psychiatrists. We always encourage clients to seek help in any way that they feel supports their healing whether it is conventional or alternative. We believe in bio-individuality (there is no such thing as one size fit all approach). Theta healing is just another option out there for those who feel that they want to experiment with something different. 

What can people expect after their first session with you? To feel great! Mind, body and soul.. Clients usually experience a sense of happiness, joy, relaxation, safety and inner peace.  They are more able to forgive themselves & others and let go of what no longer serves them. They also start to understand more that they are creating their reality with their thoughts. They will also realize that they valuable and significant to the planet, and that the Creator/God/Love/Source loves them unconditionally. 

Give us a real life of example of a life changing story of one of your current or previous clients. (Something to encourage us with) Based on our experience the success stories are numerous, from getting their dream jobs to freeing themselves from debt to finding true love, to restoring their health and finding happiness, to shifting their business around from total loss to profit within a year. The stories are numerous, but the most important thing that all of our clients have achieved is the feeling of inner peace and true sense of oneness and fulfilment.

slow

How fast is your life moving? Do you ever wish you could slow everything down gaining a few more hours in the day to tackle that ever growing to-do-list? What if you slowed down and concentrated only on the things that are truly valuable and important to YOU? 

A slower paced life means more balance, and that helps you gain more awareness about how you actually spend your time. But ‘slow’ will not happen naturally, there needs to be a conscious decision. In fact, our lives tend to accumulate more things that need our attention, mainly because we rarely remove older commitments even when we add new ones. It’s almost like a computer that just keeps saving files, until it gets so slow it and needs a total reformat (or a trip to the recycle bin).

So the best thing to do, is aim for fewer and better commitments. Put the important ones on the calendar- these are the ones that you really want to prioritize, and don’t let any ‘urgent’ things take their place. Always take the time to evaluate everything you are trying to do, and even make a list of your commitments if you need to— ask yourself which items and tasks actually bring value to your life?

Slowing down can be hard, and yes we do know that it is hard to say no sometimes. But the reality is that more often than not, when we are over-committed, we are unable to do justice to all of our engagements. So what do we recommend? Do a little bit of planning and time management for a slower paced life. Because in the end, time is what is really important, and we need to make sure we are not rushing through life and letting all the special moments pass by unnoticed. Slowing down is a mindset, so today start the shift and focus on learning how to fully embrace a slower paced life.

let go

Letting go. We all know that it is human nature to become attached to things, memories and people, all of which puts us in our very cozy ‘comfort zones’. And it can be very difficult to let go of these attachments, even when we know that some are not good for us. But there is something important to be learned from the art of ‘letting go’, it is an opportunity to release unhealthy attachments to memories, events, ideas, and possessions. So, what if we asked you: What is weighing you down right now? How would your life be different if you let it go?

Is it the need to be perfect? – You are perfectly beautiful, and beautifully imperfect, and this is what allows you to be you. Perfection is an illusion—it doesn’t exist. Please stop stressing yourselves by trying to be perfect. Embrace your mistakes along the way, as much needed opportunities for growth, like blessings in disguise that make you wiser. If you fail at anything, it doesn’t mean you are failure, because you are not what you do. Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn. We never lose.

Is it the need to be busy all the time?  – We have mentioned this before.. Being in a rush isn’t a sign of virtue. Learn to listen to your body, and release any guilt for sometimes simply doing nothing. Sometimes you just need to recharge the batteries of your body and soul, and you don’t owe anyone any explanation for doing that. Hold space for yourself.

Is it making assumptions about what other people feel, want, or think? – There is no way to know what others are feeling or thinking. Many of us make up imaginary scenarios, and let our minds create elaborate stories. Each time you find yourself thrown off by what a person has said or done, take a moment for a reality check. Examine your thoughts and ask yourself: ‘Is that really true?’  For example, you might assume someone doesn’t like you, when really she’s just having a bad day. Or maybe she’s just shy. Not everyone is the same. The moment you realize that you can’t know what a person thinks, your mind gets clear and you will then be able to meet them with an open heart.

When we let something go that’s been weighing us down, we feel the relief deep in our soul.  No time is better than the present to make a conscious decision to release these negative thoughts so that you can enjoy your life in the moment as it unfolds. And if you can let go of some of the things that hold you back and weigh you down, you might just find that you can float out in this big world stronger, braver and so much happier!

“Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.”
―Ann Landers

design

“Interior design far surpasses just creating a visually appealing space, it’s purpose is to create a harmonic atmosphere that permeates emotional, and physical wellness.”

At The Hundred we believe that an aesthetically pleasing environment is as much a part of wellness as active living and healthy nutrition are. And something that is usually overlooked in the grand scheme of things, is that the spaces that we live and work in are key to our well-being and productivity. Which means that when our external environment is out of alignment with who we truly are, it has a negative effect on our ability to function at our fullest potential. But when our living (or working) space is clear and reflective of our authentic self, our energy is then freed up to flourish with more comfort and creativity. At the Hundred we are constantly re-aligning the space with our mission to accommodate growth of the business – most recently we have redesigned a few of our spaces with help from our talented friends at The Native Bohemians. We do believe that ANY time is a good time to put your life in order to be more productive, happy, and healthy, but the timing is even more perfect now with the quieter Summer days to do some organizing and decorating!

Now whether you are looking to create a home that is more conducive to relaxation and ease, or you are interested in re-vamping your home office so that it sparks your imagination and keeps you motivated, these three tips can help you organize your spaces to make them just right for you.

Declutter – When a space is cluttered and overflowing with unwanted and un-needed items, we sacrifice our ability to bring in the things that could actually serve us today. Choose to release what no longer serves you by either donating it if it is in good condition, or trashing it if it is no longer usable. Everything else must get organized, filed and placed in the most convenient location for easy access when needed.

Make your space a reflection of you – Designing a space that appeals to all of your senses and preferences is key. Its time to start decorating with intention. So bring in the elements that speak to you, and get you genuinely excited about being in that space. We like to play around with elements like color,  plants (we love our Greens!), and artwork (at The Hundred we love beautiful design, and to further give a personal touch we have also used some of Asma Lootah’s street photography) to bring together the full picture of our vision. After the first step above, you are now free of unnecessary items, so you can give your attention to the things that truly speak to you. Note* The goal here is not to necessarily spend money on lots of new items, but instead its about using what you already have in your home or office that represents you as an individual, but rearranging it in a way that feels more aligned with your personality.

Enjoy the process. – This is designing and decorating, it’s supposed to be fun! There is no need to rush or seek perfection. In fact, as far as we are concerned, a space is never ‘done’. Experiment, make mistakes, go back into your inspiration files when you need new ideas, but also commit to enjoying and using your home/office as it is right now.

Continue to give your living space the attention it deserves, and remind yourself of the important role that your environment plays in inspiring and moving you forward. And as we mentioned over on our Instagram…Wherever the space is that you find yourself in, we hope that it is of such a nature that it grounds your heart and energizes your soul. And if you are still searching for a place like that, our doors are always open!

 

energy

“Energy is the real substance behind the appearance of matter and forms.”

— Andrew Weil, MD

tribe

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” — Jane Howard

 

One of the most basic human needs is the need to belong, and to feel loved and accepted by others.  We all want to be a part of something bigger. We all want to experience a sense of community. To have a group of like-minded people that are on the same wavelength, and are on the same page supporting each other sharing ideas, interests and working in harmony — be it professional, or personal.

Your tribe members are those people who accept you just as you are, and who want the very best for you.  They make you feel understood, and they encourage you to go after your goals and pursue your dreams.  The members of your tribe also help you to get through difficult times, and provide you with a sense of community and support. Your tribe is made up of ‘your people.’

At the Hundred we know these ‘people’ and we have been blessed to have our own family/tribe grow slowly but surely over the years. And while many often think of slow growth as defective, we strongly disagree, because the truth is that all good things grow slow—dreams, fruit, businesses and relationships.

Gardeners sometimes like to plant trees labeled ‘fast growing’ for highly sought-after quick results. But here’s the thing —fast-growing trees don’t have deep enough roots to last through storms and droughts. Good things need time to take root and grow. A slower more organic pace will help your roots stretch deep and wide. Trust us it’s okay to grow slow. As a result of our organically paced growth, we have the most amazing tribe and community of  people who share common interests and values and show genuine appreciation and care for each other.

This Ramadan follow us on Instagram as we will share a little more about the heartbeat of The Hundred Wellness Center, our people, our tribe and family!

detox

We are so excited to announce that we finally have our infrared sauna up and running!  For months we have been working hard to bring you transformative infrared sauna services to The Hundred Wellness Centre. Unlike traditional saunas, which operate at extremely harsh temperatures, our infrared sauna is gentle, soothing and it’s therapeutic heat promotes relaxation, detoxification, improved sleep and so much more. Infrared sauna therapy helps you relax and relieves stress while you receive an invigorating deep tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed and rejuvenated after each session.

Whether we know it or not, we are exposed to heavy metals on an almost daily basis through pollution and as a matter of modern life, and left undisturbed, these heavy metals can cause illnesses. Sweating is the body’s safe and natural way to heal and stay healthy. Infrared saunas therapy induces a rise in core temperature that then results in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside.  Infrared heat penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to help relieve anything from minor aches and pains, to even more chronic pain conditions. Athletes also benefit from this therapy as it can help speed up recovery time post training, as well as decrease muscle spasms.

As with all of the services and treatments you will find at the centre, we strive to bring our clients the best of what is in the wellness world to help you meet all your health and wellness goals. So, in addition to pairing the infrared sauna therapy with our in-house detox program (highly recommended), we are also offering individual sessions, as well as packages.

art hundred

Gym, pilates studio, cafe, art space – all these words have been used to describe our favourite spot in all of Dubai –  The Hundred Wellness Centre. With so many wellness services on offer here, it was important that the space itself reflects The Hundred Wellness Centre lifestyle, and anyone that knows our founder Asma Lootah, knows that this centre brings together two of her passions – fitness and art. On the heels of Art Dubai last week we wanted to turn the spotlight on to our centre, and some of the curated design and art pieces you will see when you visit.  The Hundred Wellness Centre is a hybrid concept born from the perfect union between the love for art & design, and a fully functional fitness center. Tucked inside a peaceful villa in the heart of Jumeirah, every little design and decor detail has been thought out, from the chairs in the waiting areas, to the coasters that you rest your teacup on.

The Hundred is definitely not your average fitness studio. The team here practice a holistic approach to wellness, which means they focus on how the three main areas of your life body, mind and soul –  are connected and how they can be optimized to improve your overall sense of well-being. The Hundred has been painstakingly curated to truly help our clients feel at home – and at peace, while celebrating amazing UAE local talents, and the mere fact that a person can get all of these services within a functional art-centric space is truly unique. Each and every piece of art at The Hundred Wellness Centre has a purpose and a story behind it‘s journey to finally finding its home here, and you can read more on the tales of some of the pieces that are dotted around the space by visiting our website, or the next time you visit just ask one of our team!

Here at The Hundred Wellness Centre we offer a variety of services to help you on your path to optimum wellbeing. Including classical Pilates, Super Circuit classes, physiotherapy, yoga – but did you know that we also offer some of the very best, bespoke wellness diagnostic tests that are at the forefront of technology right now? DNA testing is without a doubt one of the most powerful tools we use…

So what’s it all about? Well if you are thinking “I’ve done allergy tests” or “My GP did my blood work” – think again… DNA testing is in another league. And here’s why: Your DNA results will never ever change. DNA testing maps out your genetic code. Which never, ever changes. So you only have to do the DNA test once.

DNA testing at the hundred wellness centre

And why is it so crucial? Well, when your parents “made” you, they each gave you some of their DNA. Your DNA is completely unique to theirs. You have some from your father and some from your mother. Sure, if your parents have a certain health problem it could be possible that you are more at risk for those concerns. But that’s not a definite. You could be completely clear of their issues and actually have a medium/high risk for something completely different…

But let’s be frank here: DNA testing is not scary. It’s not something you need to dread or fob off with “well if it’s going to happen, I’d rather not know…” The tests simply highlight your genetic code and explain whether those unique combinations are benefitting your health or if they run the risk of harming it. We offer four different, unique DNA tests: health, sport, estrogen, and diet. Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting these through our resident, in-house expert, homeopathic Doctor, Dr. Sean and Holly Hollywould – the Dubai-based creative and lifestyle blogger who will be sharing her journey through DNA testing at The Hundred Wellness Centre in Dubai via a series of diaries…

…Stay tuned!

And if you’re already intrigued and want to talk to us about having your own DNA tests done, give us a call on 04 344 7333 or drop us an email here.
