I use sound bowls (sometimes a tuning fork) to unwind with my kiddos. Sound therapy works with more subtle energies of the body like the tissues and nervous system. Rest in peace to the one pictured here—my son is still learning his strength.

I appreciate how thoughtful Greg Maruki is with his practice. Before grabbing the needles, he begins with acupressure to help loosen the muscles. Here, he is adding electric stimulation, also known as electroacupuncture.

Alongside the physical benefits, massages help release energy stored in our emotional body. This is one of my preferred ways to treat myself and help my body purge. The best massages have left me levitating afterwards.

Our colon is the same length as our height! So there’s about 5-6 ft of intestinal walls that need to be well-cleansed. Hydrotherapy is supportive of healthy bowel movements, clear skin, immunity boost, parasitic detox, improving digestion, and increase in energy.

This is otherwise known as sensory deprivation. Float didn’t make it into my top 3 experiences but it’s worth mentioning because it can help relieve those with chronic pain, enhance creativity, and relieve stress. Now some spas offer a variety of float tanks (some larger or smaller) to help induce a meditative-like state.

My first experience with yoni steams was at a spa in Santa Monica inside a room that was covered entirely in jade. Since then, I have created my own herbal blends and do self-treatments at home. This practice is great for detoxifying the body, reducing the potential of fibroids, maintaining a healthy odor, and offers emotional healing through cleansing and rejuvenation. Men (especially those who suffer from hemerrhoids) benefit from steams too.
