    It relaxes the face, smoothes wrinkles, opens energy channels in the head, and releases stagnant energy throughout the body. The "third eye" area over which the oil flows is, in Ayurveda, deeply connected to the functional centers of the brain that produce particular chemicals within the body, including serotonin, which stimulates in us the sense of pleasure and that of relaxation. 

    Upon request, Kayasekam massage, complete whole-body oiling with warm oil and related holistic energy massage, can follow. Performed by two practitioners, this treatment is deeply purifying and "rejuvenating," improving blood circulation and strengthening tissues.

Kayasekam massage 

Like Shirodhara massage, it is part of the Indian tradition and is performed by two practitioners at the same time. It is the complete oiling of the whole body performed with a very fast and warming technique. Mostly frictions and kneading are done and the recommended duration is 30 to 50 minutes. 

  • Find out more

    The oil used should be quite hot. After a few minutes of very fast technique, one slows down with light, alternating movements and then energizes with a sudden increase in speed. One completes the treatment by also applying drainage techniques with rather light lengthwise passes. Immediately after the Kayasekam, the patient takes a long, relaxing hot shower to remove the toxins and negativity that have been released. This type of treatment serves to take the mind away from the body as the different energies felt by the patient and the continuous stimulation give the body a jolt. For this reason it is one of the most suitable massages for the person in need of energy. It is also recommended for hypertensive and nervous individuals and for those suffering from high blood pressure because the latter, by the very effect of the massage, is lowered and a state of gentle and pleasant exhaustion arises that induces relaxation.

  • Kundalini Chakra Massage

Kundalini Chakra Massage

This particular type of treatment represents a unique sensory experience. It is derived from an ancient Hindu doctrine that is primarily concerned with rebalancing the person on a spiritual and energetic level, amplifying all energies, with the purpose of leading to a very powerful sensory experience for meditative purposes, listening to the Self, increasing our ability to perceive, our contact with Universal Energy and our spiritual elevation.

  • Find out more

    The real purpose of the treatment is to rebalance the energy channels and Chakras and in this way to make the Kundalini Energy flow freely along. For this purpose, the massage will be performed at the level of the physical body and impositions of the hands at the level of the etheric body; the massage is carried out with the use of a lot of warm oil, with extremely long, slow and felt manuals, very enveloping, to induce the right degree of relaxation that will allow the person to increase the ability to listen and sensory perception.

    The hands glide softly lingering on certain points that correspond to the most important Chakras with rotating movements that aim to reactivate them and awaken the energy, removing any blockages, and thus being able to make it flow freely along the energy channels.

    It involves every area of the human body, physical and etheric, consequently the reactions to this unblocking can be multiple and subjective, depending on one's personal experience and sensitivity, depending on one's ability to perceive.


    The person who performs this kind of treatment, (the practitioner), must be able to feel, to perceive, as if instead of her hands she had very powerful sensors, capable of transmitting and receiving, giving Prana Energy and absorbing negative energy by discharging it through well-determined outgoing movements.


    The person receiving this kind of treatment must also be able to feel and sense; it is in this way that he or she will fully enjoy the positive and balancing effects of this truly unique treatment.

    For those who are approaching this kind of treatment for the first time, which is also made up of meditative techniques, the purpose will be precisely to be able to train themselves to listen to the Deep Self, learning to perceive more attentively each of our capacities, not only physical but also sensory.

    In the Chakra Kundalini massage the manual skills become almost a ritual, a caress made of the feeling that is the desire to transmit warmth, Prana Energy, closeness, well-being, the sweet passion of giving: it is the true feeling!

     

Berber ritual

It is a type of treatment that respects the ancient Berber tradition by which brides in the week before their wedding benefited from these purification rituals that are performed on them to cleanse, nourish and relax the skin of the entire body, achieving incredible skin softness and a total relaxation of serenity and harmony.

  • Find out more

    It is particularly relaxing and soothing as it makes use of three different phases of execution: 

    1) Argan oil body scrub massage performed with a quick manual technique that on the skin achieves an extremely effective exfoliating action for a purifying action of the epidermis. Followed by a gentle cleansing of the skin performed with savon noir, a natural vegetable substance that is obtained by mixing oil and crushed black olives, left to macerate with cold and totally natural methodology.   

    2) Application of Berber mask based on "rhassoul," a clay powder rich in magnesium, silicon, iron oxides and calcium, used as a natural antiseptic and remineralizing agent. Mixed with rose or Zagara water, a very soft cream is obtained that, when applied to the skin, absorbs and removes excess sebum, eliminating all impurities. 

    At the end of these first two phases, the client is wrapped in a cartene on top of which is placed a warm fleece blanket, useful to rebalance in a completely natural way the right body temperature, with 20 minutes of complete rest accompanied by gentle background music. After this phase of complete relaxation, a vigorous and very hot regenerating and rebalancing shower is carried out, useful for removing all traces of product, leaving the skin perfectly cleansed, ready for the final phase.

    3) Berber massage, delicate and enveloping, based on Argan oil, obtained from a valuable and very natural cold pressing of the fruit of the Argania Spinosa, a tree that grows exclusively in Arabia whose fruits, similar to our nuts, possess truly unique properties, of relaxation but also of nourishment, hydration and sebaceous rebalancing, leaving the skin with an incredible sensation of fragrant and velvety softness.  

    Each phase and each maneuver is carried out with the specific purpose of inducing the individual into a dimension far from everyday thoughts by making him or her feel enveloped, pampered and fulfilled, as considered a unique and unrepeatable being, leaving the person with a sweet feeling of light, enveloping and complete harmony.
