Energy Work.
I had three treatments done today during my "spa day."
I started the day off at the spa first though with a round of steaming, sauna-ing and then soaking. The spa recommends everyone come prior to their appointments and "purify" yourself. You start off with five minutes in the steam room. Then you hop in a cold shower. You follow that up with some water. Then you head into the sauna for five minutes. And you take another cold shower. Drink another glass of water. Then you soak in the Japanese soaking tub.
It was a relaxing way to gear up for my massage, which was the first of my three treatments for the day. However, because I had drunk so much water, about 35 minutes into the massage, I had to pee really badly. So I had to get off the table and go pee, then come back for another 20 minutes while the masseuse finished the massage.
The next treatment up was my chakra balancing. And that was so cool! I loved it. I won't go into the details as to what kind of energy I was giving off... But the gist of the treatment is: You lay on a treatment table with your eyes closed. The healer goes through each of your seven chakras and places crystals on your body that correspond to each chakra. Then Reiki is incorporated to move some of the energy out of your chakras. Tuning forks are also used. I felt very relaxed after the session. And I noticed some really interesting sensations in certain parts of my body where I have had problems.
The last treatment of the day was the hypnotherapy session. This was cool too. Not as cool as the chakra balancing though. I did "go under." Some people don't. Some people are completely awake when they go through hypnotherapy. I drifted off, as I was laying on a table with the therapist talking in a quiet monotone. After the session, I felt really relaxed. It was a great feeling.
Between the sessions, I laid out by the pool, grabbed a spa lunch (a pizza with only 330 calories!) and read books. Tomorrow I am spending with my family. But I will be doing another relaxing day on Saturday.
I very much like spa vacations. But next time I go on one, I probably will only book sessions of things I can't get done back home in Boston. I had a facial yesterday that was good. And the Numerology session was good too. (I can now do other people's numbers too.) But I wouldn't do a massage the next time I do this. Those I can done back home. And they're not really different or unique form one place to the next.
