Something to indulge in at the end of a long day: the Reiki Therapy treatment at The Peninsula Spa by ESPA. Originally developed in Japan during the early 1990s, reiki - offered in 60-minute or 90-minute sessions - helps to activate the body's natural healing process and restore physical and emotional well-being.
"Reiki addresses the emotional imbalances that are often the by-product of our stressed lives," says Sharon Codner, regional spa director. "It holistically targets these deep-rooted issues by realigning the energy within us in order to achieve a greater sense of emotional balance and well-being, deeply complementing the properties of each spa treatment."
KT, our resident spa junkie at BACCARAT, checked in for a 90-minute treatment session - here's what she has to say: "The therapist gently placed her hands on my chakras, also known as energy centres, lingering there according to need. While the sensation of having someone's hands placed on my face and body parts felt awkward in the beginning, it did not take me long for me to fall asleep."
