Auriga at Capella Pedregal has introduced a revolutionary massage treatment to its exclusive spa menu, tuning the body through a healing combination of sound and touch that is individualized to the needs of each spa-goer. The new Art of Sound Therapy treatment uses chimes, along with the stimulation of acupressure points, to align the chakras and create harmony in the various systems of the body. The treatment induces a deep state of relaxation to heal mind, body and spirit, improving sleep and increasing vitality, among other benefits.
Offered as a 60- or 90-minute treatment, the Art of Sound Therapy is conducted in a signature chime room outfitted with pentatonic tubes. Therapists are trained to play particular tones and chords on the chimes, creating rich overtones and harmonies that oscillate and expand the energy field, breaking up negative energies that form in the aura.
“The Art of Sound Therapy is based on the principle that the body’s organs respond to sound in the same manner that our emotional, mental and spiritual bodies do.” said Vanessa Infante, Spa Director at Auriga at Capella Pedregal. “Each organ is composed of particles that vibrate at a specific frequency. When the frequency of any cell deviates from the normal, a state of pathology sets in. This innovative therapy harnesses the power of sound, which travels through the energy pathways of the meridians and chakras, helping the body to tune into its own frequency, removing ‘stuck’ energies that are depleting vitality, and achieving balance and harmony.”
To begin the session, the spa-goer is invited to sit on a table under the chime, and is offered tea or an elixir shot to clear energy in the body. As the therapist strikes each tone, the spa-goer selects three key tones, which together create a custom music chord that is repeated throughout the session.
The treatment also includes a chakra/energy reading through the placing of hands over the spa-goer’s body; the application of a hydrating “passion” and body oil free-style massage; acupressure in the back, arms, legs and face; and a hara (abdominal) massage in which the spa-goer takes long, deep breaths as the therapist restates the sound healing meditation.
To conclude the session, the therapist guides the spa-goer into a power nap, then gently awakens the guest, refreshing him or her with a spray of Osea’s Sea Minerals Mist and a shot of cinnamon tea. The guest is invited to strike the chimes before leaving.
