Tulum, Mexico...a quiet Thursday afternoon, my girlfriend Donna and I decide to book a Mayan Clay Couples Massage. We do this all the time, book the couples room, so we can chat, giggle, laugh or whatever. Upon arrival we are taken back to a wooden palapa with no walls but only a mosquito net all the way around and told to get naked, wrap with a towel and sit on the edge of the table....they are going to wash our feet before beginning the massage...ok, sounds great to us!
With freshly washed feet we reposition on the table and relax face down. I can hear the birds signing, the trees blowing in the slight breeze and someone in the distance humming or signing, I can't quite tell. Either way it is heaven.
The massage begins with the back, the mayan clay and a little water. Its cool to the touch and slides easily. In 2 minutes I am so at peace I totally forgot Donna is right next to me. We haven't said a word...usually we are chatty cats, but today there is something in the air, like time has frozen still and all worries are gone away and we are just there in the moment.
As the the massage continues down the body, I notice that the clay is starting to harden in places. The encasing feels good, locking in the moisture. Still Donna and I have not spoken and I think to myself...I'm not sure I could talk if I wanted to - application of the clay on my face has prevented me from moving a whole lot. I start to giggle and Donna confirms through tight lips that she too can't move. The clay is dry but feels amazing on the skin.
After we pull ourselves off the tables, we rinsed off in fabulous outdoor showers. Unter the tree tops, out in the open (well not quite OPEN open but you get the drift)...we feel refreshed, relaxed and fabulous!
I'd have to say...I've had many massages in my life...this one was one of the most amazing. I think Donna and I will make a regular habit of visiting the Mayan Clay Spa...a new tradition begins!! You can check it out here: http://www.mayanclayspa.com/
MAYAN CLAY MASSAGE
This comprehensive treatment begins with our rejuvenating Mayan clay body massage in which, a deep state of relaxation is obtained as the clay detoxifies& remineralizes the body’s organs. It is a unique sensation to be massaged from top to toe with clay; it grounds both body and mind. After removing the mask in the ocean or on site with a warm shower the body is reawakened with a deep tissue or Swedish massage on your back, using a special blend of oils. You can visible see a change in the clients who experience a mayan clay treatment, it is outstanding.
