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. 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.

The masseuse adds a bit more warm oil, this time the oil is poured down the length of your back. Just as you being to enjoy the warm oils, you sense a deep kneading, “Is she using her fingers, her elbows or her knuckles?” that you do not know, but what you do know is, that you want it to stop. You start to rise, to protest, but the masseuse reassures you in that low, soft, but authoritative tone, you relax back into the bed.

Your muscles are taught, you are actually sweating at the intensity of the experience, the escape of tension from deep inside your muscles. Emotions start to push through, “How? What can that be?” you wonder, this is a physical experience. You surrender to the masseuse’s hand strokes, this new level of force transforms into beautiful softness leaving you feeling afloat as though on clouds. You are in paradise, in so much pleasure, you cannot help but giggle. You feel renewed, you feel that you are reconnecting within your physical body. Slowly the masseuse eases her hand strokes, gradually stopping and finally informing you that the session is over. She covers you, leaving you for a few minutes to relax and reconnect. Twenty minutes later as you dress to go home you coast out of the spa.

Imagine a space, where you reconnect with your inner woman

Imagine such a spa for your soul, a space and time for your inner woman. Imagine a space, where you reconnect with your inner woman. A space where you can reflect, sift and work on the knots of tension arising from everyday life happenings and the major life events that we all find ourselves in at one time or another. Imagine your inner woman releasing feelings and tears she has bottled up. Imagine your inner woman becoming weightless as she let’s go of what she has been holding in, holding onto and holding back.
