Spa for the Soul

When was the last time you visited a spa? Take a moment to recall that feeling of rejuvenation, renewal and refreshment. You savour the luxurious scent of the chosen fragrances used for your selected treatment. You are floating, glowing!

Getting to this feeling of weightlessness was a journey, though. You had to choose a treatment, for example, Deep Tissue Massage. As the treatment starts, there is that initial luxurious feeling as the warm oil is spread over your skin. The masseuse’s hands glide slowly over your body, reaching the warm heating oils to your extremities, to initially relax and settle you into the massage bed. You think to yourself, “aahhh!”

Somewhere, between the pleasure, the intensity subtly changes, you are not comfortable neither are you in pain. The masseuses’ hands are firm on your skin, digging a little more firmly into your muscles. A different feeling forms; one of release and relaxation. Soon these sensations envelope you, your muscles yield to the new situation. You start to settle back into the massage bed again and a peaceful smile returns to your face. [...]
