New Wellness Lunar Massage Poolside at Grand Velas Riviera Maya
Spa Experience Taps Into Moon Cycle & Personal Intentions At the Luxury Mexican Resort
Riviera Maya, Mexico (December 29, 2022) - Guests at Grand Velas Riviera Maya are now invited to experience a special energy empowered by the lunar force in its oceanfront Spa Cabanas. The new Wellness Lunar Massage (90 min/$191 USD) uses aromatic oils from the Mexican wellness brand Agave Spa that tap into the powerful benefits of herbs, flowers, spices, and roots. In addition to a designated aromatic oil selected for each lunar phase, spa therapists apply individual oils to each location on the body based on its intention.
The spa experience begins with Grand Velas' signature Mayan welcome ceremony based on the Earth's four elements - water, fire, earth, and air. Then, in accordance with the moon cycle, the spa therapist provides aromatherapy from one of the Agave Moon oils. As the moon grows, its strength and power increases. The phase of the moon changes four times per month and the treatment will be adjusted according to the phase of the moon. The current crescent moon cycle phase is a seductive energy, emanating power and sensuality. The crescent moon scent contains orange, which attracts positive, prosperous, and joyful energy, pomegranate which attracts prosperity and helps fulfill desires, and nutmeg that is a great anti-inflammatory agent and natural relaxant due to its incredible aroma. Finally, in accordance with the intention, different aromatic oils are used on different parts of the body. The oil Here and Now consisting of geranium and marjoram is used on the head to help understand that the moment is now. Love consisting of rosemary, jasmine, black pepper, and red pepper symbolizes goodness and compassion in the human being is used on the chest and the heart. Passion made with madera de cachemira and almizcle is used on the stomach area. Prosperity which is a mixture of relaxing, laurel and hierbabuena reduces fear, depression, and anxiety is used on the legs. And finally Protection, which is a healing herb blend of mejorana, orėgano, cilantro, anís, and pimienta negra is used on the back.
