Stones are heated in a water bath and tested before use on the body to ensure they are the correct temperature. Oil is used to help the stones glide smoothly over the skin and increase the sensual experience. The stones are of varying sizes with larger stones used on the sacrum and abdomen and with smaller stones used to target key areas such as around the neck.
Both the stones themselves and the therapist’s hands will be used to deliver the massage. The hardness of the stones allows the therapist to address specific problem areas with more detailed work or deeper pressure in way that cannot be achieved with traditional massage methods. Stone massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you to let go of all the stress that is held within your body.
Hot stone massage can provide a more intense experience as the heat of the stones penetrates the body warming the muscles. This can be contrasted with cold stones to create changes in blood flow and have a toning effect. This contrast is particularly good when dealing with chronic problems as it helps reduce inflammation in the soft tissues. The stones are thought to absorb and remove negative energy from the body. If requested your therapist can use the stones to help work on your charkas and restore inner balance.
