Japanese Garden 2011
Hot Tub Total Relaxation
Copyright (c) 2011 Michael Cahill
Relaxation is one of the primary reasons individuals begin the process of buying a hot tub. Hot tubs are great for putting one into a state of enhanced relaxation. Achieving a trance state through use of a hot tub is not difficult if you involve as many of the senses in the relaxation process as possible. We enter into trance states regularly. This happens when you are a passenger in a car on a long trip you “zone out” causing you to lose track of what has happened during the proceeding time and even the time itself. When we are relaxed and at ease it is easy to slip into this state of consciousness, this state is desirable for physical and mental health.
Using all of the senses is the best way to become fully relaxed. The first sense we will involve is sight. We see certain colors as relaxing, as well as, certain environments. Many luxury spas are equipped with LED mood lights that do just that, set the mood. You also may experiment with tikki torches or candles around the hot tub. A large part of the experience though can be derived from the spa enclosure. The most common spa enclosure is a gazebo, but there are many other choices. The gazebo, if placed into a garden, can supply the necessary mood for relaxation and even trance.
The next sensation we will address is that of sound. Many luxury hot tubs have waterfalls and fountains. The relaxing sound of moving water is a great way to relax. Additionally an outdoor stereo system can supply comforting sounds such as the sounds of nature. To take this a step further you could use a transcendental meditation recording to aid you in full trance. There are many types of music and pre-recorded programs that can be found on the internet to fully involve the ears. The key is to remove yourself from the environment that causes stress by finding sounds that do this.
The sense of smell is very active in relaxation. There are many scents that are known to be relaxing such as sandal wood or lavender. Many luxury hot tubs are equipped with an aroma therapy oil dispenser. These oils are commercially produced especially for hot tub aroma therapy, and can be found on the internet with ease. It is important to find a scent that washes away the feeling of tension. It is important to take advantage of this component of your luxury spa.
Touch is an important part of the process of relaxation. This might seem like the number on reason to buy a hot tub in the first place. The warm water around you will allow you to relax and avoid contact with the outside world. There are both bubbling and massaging jets. In many luxury hot tubs there are various stations to sit in. If you have the perfect mix of jets it will cause you to relax muscles, joints, and the mind. Finding a hot tub with the most jets may be a good metric to decide upon. The most in the industry is 166. As mentioned earlier many of these tubs have fountains and waterfalls, these can also be useful in tactile relaxation.
The environment that surrounds the hot tub is important. The spa enclosure we talked about earlier is an important part of this, but so is the general environment outside of the enclosure. Making sure you are not too near the house, distractions from the world, or obtrusive sounds and smells is important. What you see beyond the enclosure also is important. A garden is something that is good to have around the spa enclosure. The perfect garden, for function, cost, and required maintenance might be the Zen Meditation Garden. It can also be nice to have a Japanese Garden if you have the ability to pay for, and care for it. It is important to carefully plan what will be directly visible outside of the spa enclosure.
Looking for a hot tub with all of this in mind can allow you to fully take advantage of the power of relaxation. Relaxing the mind requires relaxation of the senses. This can be accomplished by being certain you have a hot tub that can support ultimate relaxation. What we did not cover was the sense of taste, you may wish to have a cup of tea, a relaxing herbal tea like chamomile might be nice to fully let go and relax. So you now can involve the senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste into a trance evoking experience, and you will be perfectly relaxed.
