We just learned that the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay is offering new innovation in spa therapy. The Chakra Balance Massage with Aura-Soma® is a sensitive, 90-minute treatment at the resort’s award-winning Healing Village Spa. Aura-Soma® – which literally means ‘light body’ – uses the vibrational power of color to rebalance the body’s seven main chakras or energy wheels. Seven designated Aura-Soma® chakra oils containing the living energies of plants, essential oils, gems and crystals each target a specific chakra, and combine with sound, breath and gentle massage to induce a meditative-state that enables emotional and physical release to happen.

The launch of the unique treatment follows intensive training of the resort’s Balinese therapists by Aura-Soma® certified practitioner and teacher, Patricia Grace. “Sometimes the lightest of touch can assist in releasing the deepest pain held in the body. It is about connecting to our energy centers, pacifying the nervous system and allowing a flow of energy through the chakras,” explains Patricia.

The focus is on touch and connection rather than muscle manipulation, said Luisa Anderson, Regional Director of Spa for Four Seasons Resorts Bali. “This is an incredibly powerful treatment. I joined the training and we had therapists who themselves experienced emotional release, even as they learned a new method of healing,” said Luisa.
