Gathering In
So often we find ourselves in expansion mode, stretching to meet all of life’s challenges. But isn’t a relief when the light fades a little and we can loosen up just a touch on the reins? Often, people feel very swept up by spring’s effervescent energy, which will arrive in just 6 short months. But in order to benefit fully from that seasonal fizz, we need to counter with quietude and introspection when the time is right. And that moment is now!
As the days grow slightly shorter, even here in bright and mild Palm Beach, a movement towards cocooning feels so right. We can’t hibernate, but we can use nature’s momentum to guide us towards nourishing and replenishing our inner depths.
At home, that might mean applying a thick pack of Purifying Lucent Masque or Restorative Radiance Masque and allowing all the nutrients and energizing essences of those formulas to absorb, while disconnecting for fifteen minutes of blissful rest. In the same way, at the Spa, clients are enjoying the transformative indulgence of our Botanical Body Wrap, which incorporates a warmed body masque, made with decadent Rose, Jasmine and Lotus flower oils and mineral-rich clays. With both treatments, the physical feeling of cocooning is so delightful, and that conscious gesture wakes up an inner movement of the spirit.
I think you’ll find that turning the attention inward with a loving intention to comfort and to replenish will almost immediately ignite the heart chakra, ushering in both a feeling of groundedness and an uplifting sensation right at the core.
