</div>
Opening up the downstairs with out spa expansion has been an incremental process. We are a small family in a small community, so we can only proceed with what we have available to us at the time. We are very blessed and are so happy to share with everyone our little dream of providing a place for others to retreat from the stresses of daily life.<br />
<br />
So far, we have opened up half of the space to allow for individual sessions downstairs, while maintaining our couple's suite upstairs. To see what went into getting that open, feel free to visit our blog entry <a href="http://therapybythesea.blogspot.com/2017/08/spa-expansion-progress.html" target="_blank">SPA EXPANSION: Phase One</a>.<br />
<br />
The newly opened downstairs space now gives us the ability to offer services of 4 massage tables at one time, making it easier to accommodate groups. It also allows us to have a massage table downstairs for those who have difficulty going to the upstairs suite. We, of course, have more decorating we will be doing with the space to bring it up to the level of what our couple's suit has...but it is now equipped with all of the tools and basic comforts that ensure you have a nice relaxing experience. The reception room for this space will eventually become yet another treatment room once we open the other side of the downstairs space. Feel free to check in here as we continue with that!<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Beginning SEPTEMBER 1, 2017, we will be expanding our spa!</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We have acquired additional space right below our current spa and are in the process of expanding. We will be opening part of the downstairs the week of Thanksgiving with the aim to be complete our expansion the first week of the new year in 2018.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">Book mark this page for updates about our progress with our expansion into our new space!</span></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bob Malone, at SAFE AT HOME, below us has retired and closed the doors to his business in August.This has given us the opportunity to grow our business to now include additional space DOWNSTAIRS. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't worry, we will still maintain our special couple suite upstairs that many of you have grown fond of. This expansion though will allow us to accommodate clients who are unable to make it up the stairs as well as double the number of tables (and therapists) available to better fill the 'kneads' of our clients who schedule as a <span style="font-family: inherit;">group. We are also looking to into adding a Vichy shower, sauna room, other spa services, as well as begin selling products.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are expecting that though we might not have the space completely up and running by September 1st, we will be opening our doors and unofficially beginning our 'store hours' on that day (unless we are running around getting things ready).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our new store hours, after the new year, will be: </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">10 am to 5 pm, Thursday to Monday</span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Appointments for sessions are by reservation only.</b><br /><b>Appointments on holidays may be possible with advance notice.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">8 am to 8 pm, Sunday to Thursday</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">8 am to 9 pm, Friday and Saturdays</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feel free to drop in, when you see us working downstairs, to check out the progress with the space as we turn it into a special place to relax and renew. Our reservation hours will remain the same and all appointments for sessions will still be by appointment only. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
If you are scheduling and see a time slot that is already booked, and you can not work the other available times...PLEASE feel free to call us! Depending on our progress, we still might be able to schedule you in with the newer space.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We met with the local Charter rep and discussed if we might switch from AT&T....and also get internet and TV for what will be out new reception area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We also met with our preferred plumber for a job assessment...only to be told he was 'too big' to do the job. Literally, 6'5" he is too big. The job necessitates some crawling under the building and we needed a smaller plumber to do that. We will be meeting with another plumber on the 5th.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We also talked with the contractor who will be building the walls. He is across country for the holiday and expects to be back sometime next week.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Definitely a bit too busy with the holiday weekend AND Pinedorado...and it is TOO HOT to do much with the space right now, but we did finish off pulling out the flashing, scraping the walls underneath and patched the holes we needed. We did wash down more of the wooden shelves and finished the holiday downstairs with a good vacuum (of which, we are sure will be messed up real good again shortly).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The plumber came in to began tearing out the section of wall he needed to gain access to put in the plumbing we need to install our new fixtures...and found that the leak we were told by the landlady was fixed...isn't. Seems that there is still an active leak going on after all. Plumber says he would need to give the area a few days to dry out before he can proceed.</span></div>

The area in question though is now down to bare bones with the carpet out as well.</span></div>

Once we got there, we were informed they didn't deliver the rest of the order because they didn't have all of the items anymore either. They were short 9 of the tiles. We picked up the tiles they had AND the much needed pocket door frames...and arranged to get the remaining tiles at the other Home Depot...which now has them back in stock! While we were there we also picked up the insulation for the walls and the vent for the hydro tub room. We will be making sure that each room will be soundproofed as much as possible for our clients relaxation!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the meeting, and weighing all possible options, we came to the realization that the space we were going to place the Hydrotone tub was just not big enough to safely operate it in. The height of the lid, and the angle it needs to sit, was the deciding factor we did not account for. We reluctantly decided that we needed re-group and re-plan what we will do with that space. For now the tub will be put into storage, put up for sale, and the space it was going to go into will be put on hold while we proceed with getting the rest of the space open for business.</span></div>

With how we do our sessions, in the past we have had issues with not having enough electrical power to do all of the heat application we 'kneaded' at times. With this expansion, we have taken the time and expense to ensure that that will no longer be an issue.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Just what is a warm towel compress and how can it enhance your massage session?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ecRQvIaq5Ug/VySezuZjYsI/AAAAAAAAAfI/hkoHG8jNUwci8ZuLALzV7-UxxLfhN2JLgCLcB/s1600/white_spa_towels_grande.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ecRQvIaq5Ug/VySezuZjYsI/AAAAAAAAAfI/hkoHG8jNUwci8ZuLALzV7-UxxLfhN2JLgCLcB/s320/white_spa_towels_grande.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Using heat during a massage has many benefits beyond just helping the body to relax. It can also help reduce bruising, soften scar tissue, reduce joint and muscle stiffness and increase blood flow in the areas where it is applied. Using moistened warmed towels is a popular way to achieve this effect.<br />
<br />
There is a difference though between just applying a warmed towel to the body and using warmed towel compresses.<br />
<br />
At Therapy by the Sea, there are two ways we use approach using warm towel compresses in our spa:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Using the massage technique of applied compression with several layers of heated towels as the medium being worked through.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Compression is about applying relaxed weight to an area. This weight, when strategically used, helps to stretch out an area as well resetting the tissue's holding patterns. When combined with moist heat, the effects are greatly increased. The heat helps to decrystallize the fascia, brings blood flow to the tissues and overall helps soften the area for a more comfortable and relaxing massage experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Applying numerous layers of heated towels to an area and then insulating that area with additional layers of heat packs, insulating towels, and blankets. </li>
</ul>
With this type of compress, layers of warmed towels are applied and then wrapped with additional heat packs, towels and blankets to hold the heat in. This method is often referred to as cocooning and acts as a mini sauna to the area being treated. Unlike steam saunas though, where your whole body is immersed in heat, the compresses can be applied to specific areas. While the compress does its work on one area, our therapists continue work on other areas of the body. This allows your body to maintain relative comfort while the localized heat penetrates more deeply and effectively into the tissues. This is especially helpful for those who could use the benefit of added heat but tend to get claustrophobic or overheat too easily.<br />
<br />
The more layers of heated towels used for this form of compress, the longer the compress will hold the heat. The longer it holds the heat, the more relaxing and comfortable it is to receive. How many layers used depends on what is comfortable for each person, but the intended effect is to use the moist heat and added weight to compress the tissue and break a sweat. The combination of massage and breaking a sweat can have a very profound detoxing effect on the body. It can also give you longer lasting benefits to your body long after you session is over. For some two layers is enough, but it can be as many as 5 or 6 layers. To receive the maximum benefit from this type of therapy, the compress needs to be in place for a minimum for 5 minutes. For most each compress is in place for about 15 to 20 minutes of their session. While this form of compress does its work, your therapist will continue to massage other areas.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We break the compresses for the full body work into 5 main areas (or quadrants): 1) back torso region, 2) back leg region, 3) front leg region, 4) front torso region, 5) furthest extremities, i.e. hands, feet, neck. Our face and head massage also make use of specific warmed towels as well. We usually allow 30 minutes for each area. To effectively include compresses into a full body massage, including the belly, a 120 minute (2 hour) session is recommended.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Compresses can be spot specific or used on multiple areas of the body. For many of our sessions we frequently include this service for at least one or two areas of the body. Though there are other variations that can be done with the use of compresses, the most frequent is the back torso region and/or the furthest extremities. The leg compresses are often requested as well.<br />
<br />
A nice introduction to the use of compresses in your session would be try our <b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/singularity-sea-mist/" target="_blank">SINGULARITY - SEA MIST</a></b>. This session uses a compress on the back torso, where most people hold their tension.<br />
<br />
A popular addition to the use of compresses is our <b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/swedish-relaxation/" target="_blank">SWEDISH RELAXATION</a></b>, where both the back torso and furthest extremities receive compresses. The added heat to the furthest extremities pulls blood from the core of your body to the hands and feet, softening dry calloused feet, improving circulation and deepening the relaxing effects of your session.<br />
<br />
The MOST useful, and necessary, use of this form of heat application is when doing deep tissue and fascia oriented massage and bodywork (<b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/deeper-still/" target="_blank">DEEPER STILL</a></b>). When fascia is not warmed up, its structure can be likened to tiny crystals that when worked deeply can actually cause tiny tears and tissue injury. Though you might get temporary relief, you are actually encouraging your body to respond as if to injury which can create a viscous cycle. The more you warm up the tissues of your body, making sure to cover not just the tightest areas, but also the attachments, and also making sure it is a penetrating heat, especially before doing any deep tissue work, the more responsive your body will be to the work and the effects of each session will last longer.<br />
<br />
Using this method, the whole body can be treated with such compresses. Yes, it does use a lot more heated towels than many have experienced, and for sessions that use these compresses, we do reheat and reapply them as needed. Some of our massage and spa services, such as our scrubs (<b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/body-polish/" target="_blank">CAMBRIAN GLOW</a> </b>& <b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/hand-foot-polish/" target="_blank">CAMBRIAN SENSATION</a></b>), Ayurvedic massage (<b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/abhyanga-massage/" target="_blank">LOVING HANDS</a></b> & <b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/loving-hands-in-tandum/" target="_blank">LOVING HANDS IN TANDUM)</a></b> and our popular pain relieving <b><a href="http://therapybythesea.com/salt-of-the-sea/" target="_blank">SALT OF THE SEA</a></b> make particular use of the this method to enhance the effects of the products being used.<br />
<br />
Because of the popularity of this extremely relaxing and rejuvenating method, we have also added a treatment to our menu that specializes in the application of compression massage along with the cocooning compresses called <a href="http://therapybythesea.com/warm-towel-compress-treatment/" target="_blank"><b>CHRYSALISM DREAMS</b></a>. This can be reserved as a rejuvenating stand alone treatment or added on to a longer massage session.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17946197410770290004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9038446419505219511.post-42894440591075776902016-04-14T00:43:00.001-07:002016-09-05T17:05:36.531-07:00About Therapy by the Sea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b class="biggerbold">What is Reiki?</b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z_6M4BpqIik/VKOeZ_cb9tI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/vOTOK4Hi43Y/s1600/Reiki5PrinciplesW.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z_6M4BpqIik/VKOeZ_cb9tI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/vOTOK4Hi43Y/s1600/Reiki5PrinciplesW.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
<i>"The secret of inviting happiness...the medicine for all illness</i>" - <i>Dr. Mikao Usui</i><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
Reiki is an energy healing modality originating in Japan and introduced as a healing practice by Dr. Mikao Usui
through his school the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in the early 1900's. Reiki (pronounced Ray-Kee) can be translated
as <b>Rei</b> - "Universal", "Spiritual" or "Source" and <b>ki</b> - "life force energy".<br />
<br />
The healing process is actually two-way where the trained Reiki Practitioner allows universal life force
energy (<i>Rei-ki</i>) to flow through their hands, creating a safe space for the recipient to receive and benefit from the
healing energy.<br />
<br />
Because Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm.
It always knows what a person needs and will automatically adjust itself to create the
effect that is most appropriate at that time. One never need worry about whether
to give Reiki or not. It is always helpful.<br />
<br />
In addition, because the
practitioner does not direct the healing and does not decide what to
work on, or what to heal, the practitioner is not in danger of taking on
the karma of the client. Because the practitioner is not doing the
healing, it is also much easier for the ego to stay out of the way and
allow the presence of God to clearly shine through<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b class="biggerbold">Getting the Most From Your Reiki Session</b></div>
<br />
One of the things Reiki energy does is activate our natural ability to heal. Ultimately we heal ourselves, so
the degree to which Reiki helps can depend on how much the individual is open to receiving the healing energy
on a conscious and/or subconscious level, and how much they are willing to let go of energy which may not be
serving their highest and greater good.<br />
<br />
What can you do to get the most out of a healing session?
<br />
<ul>
<li>Be open to receiving.</li>
<li>Allow the energy to flow.</li>
<li>Do your best to be aware of how you felt before, during and after a
treatment session and what you may have learned about yourself.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b class="biggerbold">What can you expect during a session?</b></div>
<br />
Your Reiki session will begin with you laying fully clothed, usually face up, on
a comfortable massage table. Any restricting clothing items and jewelry should be loosened or removed. If needed, a robe can be provided. You will also be provided with a blanket, and if you like, an eye pillow. Additional pillows and heated towels are available to ensure you can completely relax and are comfortable. Unless you prefer silence, soft healing
music will play in the background and the lights will be low. Sessions can begin with burning sage. This is done to
"cleanse" the space, and provides a clear and comfortable space
to work in. Aromatherapy, warmed stones and crystals can also be used to deepen relaxation and enhance the effects of the Reiki.<br />
<br />
From
there, your job is to relax as deeply and completely as possible. <br />
<br />
During a Reiki session the Practitioner will place their hands lightly on, or slightly above your body,
moving their hands to the various energy centers on the body, working to clear any blockages or imbalances that may exist. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What might you feel during a session?</b></div>
<br />
During a session you might feel any, or all, of the following...
<br />
<ul>
<li>Heat, tingling, feeling of energy movement.</li>
<li>Temperature changes.</li>
<li>Subtle physical changes such a small muscle spasm or release.</li>
<li>An emotional response.</li>
<li>Sleepy or dreamlike state.</li>
</ul>
It is not uncommon to feel different
sensations during a session including feelings of heat, tingling, and
what some describe as electricity. Emotionally, you may have deep
feelings of love, peace and contentment envelop you as you drift off in a
peaceful sleep or meditative state. It is also possible that the
session will bring up unresolved memories or emotions that are ready to
be released. The treatment room is a safe and sacred space to express
those emotions and is a common occurrence. You are encouraged to give yourself permission to feel and experience whatever
comes up, and then let it go. It is a way for you to release those
things that no longer serve you.<br />
<br />
All of these experiences are perfectly normal as they are simply the way your body is releasing and readjusting
its internal energy. If at any time during the treatment you feel uncomfortable, simply let the practitioner
know, and the session will pause or stop for discussion. <br />
<br />
You may also not feel anything at all, which is perfectly fine. It does not mean that the session
is not working. It simply means that you are not sensing the subtle changes on a conscious level.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What can you expect after a session?</b></div>
<br />
After a Reiki session people report feeling extremely calm and relaxed.
They experience release and balance of energy blockages resulting in more restful sleep, relief from aches and
pains, as well as faster recovery from illness or injury.<br />
<br />
Reiki is an intense energy movement experience and you will likely continue to feel
the effects well beyond the session. It is best to drink plenty of water to
encourage the energy to move. Later, a 30 minute bath with sea salt can also
be a good idea, as it will neutralize any excess energy in and around the body.<br />
