This full body massage incorporates the use of ancient basalt (lava), chakra gems and artistically carved marble stones to achieve true balance in your massage.
The basalt stones are heated to just the right temperature. When ready, they are lavishly massaged into the muscles of the upper & lower back, arms, legs
and feet, for a deliriously relaxing body treatment. Facial stones are chilled to a perfect temperature and used with essential oils to create a cooling and
blissful facial release. What an excellent antidote to the stressors of today’s hasty tempo! It is the ultimate in pampering! Rhythmic movements to ease muscular tension and balance the spirit. The chakra gems that are believed to be filled with
vitality and energy and are placed on chakra points. They are semi-precious crystal stones used to place on specific points for balancing energy during the massage.

A rose quartz wand is then used to achieve balance. The basalt and marble rocks are massaged gently & smoothly along the body with oil/oils of choice, creating
a deep dimension of Relaxation, Health & Well Being for Body, Mind, & Spirit. You will become balanced at all levels of Emotional, Mental,& Physical Energies as well as soothing sore muscles. The stones are placed on specific acupressure
points on the body to melt away knots, tension and stress.

The hot stone experience relieves pain, promotes harmony, balance and peace. It is believed that “these stones are filled with vitality and energy of the water that flows over them in an eternal stream.” The marble stone set is diamagnetic. Diamagnetic stones are weakly repelled by a magnetic field. By adding the diamagnetic marble stones to paramagnetic basalt stones and you have a truly unique combination that will gives a stone treatments a new dimension. When we see the beautiful dark, dense and glossy basalt next to the white, glistening silklike marble, we instinctively get the picture of opposites: yin/yang, white/black,
cold/hot, negative/positive, feminine/masculine, diamagnetic/paramagnetic. Relax your body at its deepest level.
