Sound On

“Sound therapy works by using vibrations from instruments like singing bowls, chimes, or drums to resonate with the body’s cells, which are about 75% water,” said Spa Director Agustina Caminos. “These vibrations help release tension, reduce stress, and promote healing by harmonizing one’s energy body.” Treatments like the “Ábrete Corazón” incorporate drums to open the heart, shakers to release stagnant energy, and chimes for tranquility. Singing bowls, placed directly on the body, emit soothing vibrations, promoting deep relaxation. Guests can also experience these sound therapies as standalone sessions including private hammam sessions led by Caminos, or as an add-on to other treatments. “It’s another modality for our therapists to connect and heal guests during their treatment.”

Those looking to enhance their exercise routines at the gym or during Pilates classes can take advantage of the spa’s new EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) suit, which places electrodes on the skin to send lowlevel currents to targeted muscle groups, mimicking the signals the brain sends during physical exercise. This increases muscle activation, making workouts more efficient by engaging deeper muscle fibers. “EMS training is a timeefficient way to improve strength, endurance and recovery,” she said.

This winter, Tierra Santa Healing House will host three day Pranic Healing workshops and a F.L.O.W Spiritual Retreat in January. “We want our guests to disconnect, relax and learn, so they can take home invaluable techniques that will allow them to continue growing and evolving on all levels: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical.”
