In-the-Room Tips

Our top tricks for mind-melting into the moment.

Okay, you're here! So now what?

• If you like to gab, go ahead, but if you don't, a good therapist will take the cue from your silence.
• Breathe deeply to focus your mind, enliven your spirit and relax your body.
• Visualize knots coming loose, tension melting away and ill thoughts releasing from your mind.
• Let go and don't help the therapist lift your arm or turn your head.
• If there was ever a moment to live in, this is the one. Focus on the present.
• Once your treatment is over, take time to reflect on your experience. Lie back in a lounge chair, still in your robe and slippers, with a glass of water or juice at your side. Savor the relaxing or invigorating benefits of your spa service. If possible, plan your day so you can nap after your treatment.
