The Healing Touch
The vibrations of so-ham fill the empty space as a deep, calm voice playing out on a quaint Marshall radio set recites the chant on loop. There’s something inherently cleansing about the process as one submits oneself to the therapist, the peaceful chant spilling over. While most hotels and resorts today have adopted the spa as a necessary tool to draw city-weary people, having one that has a distinct identity helps in separating it from the hordes. At Narendra Bhawan, Bikaner, the recently launched Clinic Spa is, as the name suggests, is therapeutic and much depends on your emotional state as you opt for a ritual.
The treatments use a mix of conventional healing wisdom, natural Bach flower remedies that help maintain emotional balance, and Bemmer technology which helps improve micro circulation, hence promoting better overall health. The two treatments that really stand out are the physical and emotional regeneration therapies. The first comprises a 90-minute session where using pure oils (you can choose from a selection) and kansa (three metal) wands your therapist literally kneads the toxins out of your body. The emotional regeneration therapy is longer, (120 minutes) more intense, and involves a deep tissue massage coupled with a focus on marma points or energy centres on the body where there are negative blockages so as to generate self healing. The novelty at the Clinic Spa lies in the simple yet effective treatments that are less about beauty and more about helping harness one’s own energy to heal oneself. The signature rituals use a combination of oils distilled in house (sandalwood and jojoba) and one comes away feeling balanced and ready to take on the world.
