Get in Sync with the Coming Changing of the Seasons by Scheduling a Balancing Reiki Treatment

A long winter can leave you feeling tired, stressed, and out of balance with yourself. As new life prepares to blossom around you, the time has never been better to embrace the balancing power of Reiki therapy. We invite you to prepare yourself for the changing of the seasons with a relaxing and rebalancing visit to The Fountain Spa. Read on to learn more about Reiki:  

The Principles of Reiki Treatment

“Reiki” means “universal life energy.” The foundation of Reiki treatment rests upon connecting the mind, spirit, and body to achieve balance for improved mental and physical wellbeing. During Reiki treatment, your therapist manipulates your personal life-energy, or “ki,” by acting as a conduit to a universal energy source. By improving or redirecting your energy, Reiki promotes healing and improved health for your body, spirit, and mind.

What Happens During Treatment

There is no need to remove your clothes for Reiki treatment. You will sit or stand while your therapist places his or her hands over your body. 12 hand positions are used and each is held for five minutes. It is believed that the healing energy enters your body and flows to where it is needed most. During and after your treatment, you may feel more relaxed, calm, and refreshed. You may also feel warmth, tingling, and an abatement of pain or other discomfort.

The Benefits of Reiki Treatment

In today’s busy world, it’s easy for your life to become unbalanced, negatively impacting your mental and physical wellbeing. Stress and mental exhaustion manifest physically as poor health. Reiki refreshes your mind and body by bringing your entire being into a state of homeostasis, or balance. This promotes natural healing and erases the physical manifestations of stress and imbalance. Reiki has proven effective in detoxifying the body, treating insomnia, and speeding the healing process.

Exploring the Power of Warmth in Massage

The use of heat in massage is a technique that dates back to the first uses of hands-on healing. Warmth can be used in a variety of ways to enhance your massage experience. You can discover for yourself the amazing power of heat as a component of massage when you include warm stone therapy as a part of your Fountain Spa experience. Read on to learn more:

Heat for Improved Relaxation

Massage is designed to promote mental and physical relaxation. Studies have shown that the use of heat during massage increases your ability to relax. Cold triggers constriction within your muscles, while heat advocates relaxation and loosening of the muscle fibers. This not only enables your masseuse to more effectively deliver your massage, but it also allows you to achieve a deeper state of relaxation and meditation during your treatment. The specific placement of stones during warm stone therapy is designed to help your body and mind achieve balance and tranquility.

Heat for Improved Results

The application of heat during your massage improves the efficacy of your body work. As the applied heat seeps into your muscles, it lengthens and loosens their fibers. This provides increased pliability and allows your masseuse to manipulate deeper tissues within the body. During a shallower massage, the use of heat can provide deeper relaxation of your muscles while avoiding the need for intensive physical manipulation. The secondary purpose of massage is to promote circulation to treated muscles to aid with the removal of toxins and the replenishment of oxygen and nutrients. Heat improves this process, further increasing circulation to facilitate natural healing and rejuvenation within the body.
