Tranquility Day Spa was recently mentioned in an article entitled "Handle with Care" in  the The Boston Globe's Sunday Magazine May 4th edition.    The subtitle of the piece is    "What's with all the New Age sermonizing? All I want is a massage!     While we are happy to be referred to as "....one of the top spas..." along with the prestigious Canyon Ranch Spa, I feel we need to clarify some items that were written regarding Tranquility.

The article talks about some therapists subjecting clients to unwanted preaching about their own spiritual beliefs while providing services.     The article did not say that Tranquility or any of our therapists engage in such things, however, our in house spiritual consultant was referred to as a "spiritualist" and the Tibetan bowls energy work was described as a "ritual", both of which I feel needs correction.

A spiritualist is a religious system with beliefs in communicating with the spirits of the dead.    Our spiritual consultant is one who understands the spiritual link to physical healing.      Our energy services using precision calibrated tuning forks and sound healing sessions with Tibetan singing bowls are not any religious ritual or ceremony used as a means to sermonize or proselytize any particular belief system.      Every organ, bone, tissue, etc. is in a state of vibration and therefore putting out a frequency.   When some area of the body begins to vibrate out of harmony with the other parts of the body, it becomes out of balance with itself.  Much like acupuncture, these ancient techniques serve to produce vibration and sound that affect the body’s Meridian and Charka energy systems whereby unblocking pathways to the affected areas of the body to restore harmony and balance.    Although we don’t consider the process a spiritual one, clients have reported the feeling of a lighter spirit and having a clearer sense of self; all without a word from the therapist.

Using her naturally intuitive abilities, our gifted therapist offers readings to clients as a separate service by request only and serves to provide guidance to a happier, healthier life.
