Now for something a bit different after all the confidence exercises....how to create your perfect sanctuary, without having to pay out for expensive treatments or an overnight stay...
Discover your inner spa...
Can you imagine all the benefits of a spa visit without the paper knickers or having to be coated in a sticky brown substance that has none of the pleasures of chocolate?
What if you didn’t have to think about how to modestly cover up with a towel, or even have to shave your legs and worry about stragglers near your girlie bits first. Where is this magical spa of freedom and pleasure? Can it really exist? Can I buy a voucher?
You don’t need to - this is your Mind Spa and all you need to do is summon up your inner therapist so you can reap the benefits without a blush in sight.
Most people visit spas in the quest for inner peace and relaxation but in reality bliss is already yours and I’m going to show you how.
Relaxing
If you like, you can make your inner spa experience more enjoyable by dimming the lights, lighting a candle and playing some restful music.
Make yourself comfortable and cosy ensuring you’ll be undisturbed for a the duration of your spa visit.
Create in your mind a choice of rooms. Begin with a cool one that you can visit if your thermostat is a little high.
Add a peaceful, sensual and sensory one. The beauty of this spa is that it is exactly how you would choose it to be.
If you fancy deep red drapes with golden sashes in your sensual area so be it. Maybe you like the sound of trickling water while it caresses your skin in your cooling area. Or, how about a variety of colours and textures for your pleasure in the sensory room?
The Inner Massage
Here is a relaxation exercise for you to try. Of course you can change or develop it in any way you please.
Choose your room - you can change it about if you like. It’s all yours, there are no rules.
Take a few slow breaths while thinking about the sensations and feelings that you associate with inner peace and calm. If you have chosen to play music allow it to wash over and through you. If you are revelling in quiet be aware of the silence in your mind.
Spend a few moments noticing where you might have any tension in your body. We can experience tightness for a variety of reasons ranging from anxieties and fears to anger and irritations. Please don’t pay this much mind; it is about casual observation and gentle awareness.
Imagine you are massaging and soothing every part of yourself from the inside out to the rhythm of your breathing and this process will relax away any little niggles.
If you like you can imagine your perfect Adonis (or Adonis-ess) stroking your weary limbs and then lose yourself in a fantasy of bliss.
In your own time rest until you are sated. Each time you visit your spa the experience will be enhanced and, quite possibly there will new rooms.
