1. Blessings:

Song Saa Blessing:

150 minutes

When the elements within us are in harmony and balanced we feel happy and connected- an inner peace and contentment radiates. At Song Saa, nature is strong and the elements are in perfect balance. This bespoke ritual combines these natural elements with ancient marma massage to bring a beautiful blessing.

A scrub of warmed pure silken sand awakens and purifies the flow of energy in the body and is followed by herbal mud wrap to re-energise and balance the earth element. A scented bath follows to balance the water element and to prepare for a healing massage with hot stones, rich in iron ore, which soothes and restores the nervous system and balances our fire element. The ritual is completed with the balancing of the air and space elements, the pouring of warm oil over the forehead, a head massage and hair mask.

Ananda Facial

60 minutes

Ananda means bliss in Sanskrit. The techniques used in this facial come from Shaman women in Mexico who believe that the energy of light is deeply rejuvenating. Working with marma points to open up the energy centres of the face allows a blissful flow of energy into the body. This is a healing and reviving treatment that brings deep feelings of bliss and peace, as well as beautiful radiant skin.

Rainforest Rejuvenation Facial

75 minutes

The rainforest facial is a rejuvenation treatment that helps promote the regeneration of skin cells at a deep level with ila’s active Amazonian Elixir – plant extracts that give energy and vibrancy to the cells. It also boosts and invigorates the whole body as the deep lymphatic drainage stimulates the immune system as well as the face.

Chakra Well-being

150 minutes

The treatments in the chakra well-being treatments are tailored to each client. Seven blends of essential oils, chosen for their harmonising qualities with the appropriate chakra, form the basis of this exquisite treatment. It involves deep relaxation of the nervous system, sensuous lymphatic drainage, and subtle healing of the chakras, culminating in the pouring of warm oil over the third eye to restore and relax every sense.

The chakra blends are selected for each client following a personal consultation designed to reveal any centres that may be out of balance. It is common for more than one chakra to be out of balance, in which case various blends are chosen.

Each treatment includes a body scrub or bath treatment – where a specific chakra blend is mixed with a base salt scrub – and a marma body massage, where a specific chakra blend is mixed with ila’s carrier massage oil of argan and rosehip seed oil, finishing with an Ananda Facial to bring energy to the face.

Each Chakra Well-being treatment starts with hand, foot and head reflexology to open up the energy fields. Each treatment finishes with ‘Shirodhara’, warm blended oils that are slowly poured over the third eye to bring deep peace and calm. Chakra healing music, created by ila, is played during this time to deepen the healing experience.

Couples Connect

150 minutes

Combining chakra balancing with usage of the three most exquisite oils of jasmine (for stimulating the flow of love), rose (the oil of love) and orange blossom (uplifting the soul with higher energy) results in a beautiful connection of mind body and spirit.

2. Stillness

ila Experience

120 minutes

This blissful experience re-awakens the body and spirit and promotes a profound feeling of calm. Rose and jasmine are the keynotes in this treatment. The blissful body scrub prepares the client for receiving the rose balm massage and the soothing Ananda Facial.

Dreamtime Journey

120 minutes

Our Dreamtime Journey reconnects you to inner stillness and tranquillity. This experience allows you to release and let go of tension and rediscover the grace of sleep and joyful dreaming. Secondary benefits include glowing radiant skin, general well-being and happiness.

Dreamtime music has been created to relax the nervous system at the most subtle level and insight mantras are given for focused intent. Marma therapy, chakra healing and synergistic use of essential oils are the unique techniques used in this treatment.

Dreamtime Journey begins with a relaxing scrub to eliminate toxins that deprive the body of sleep, followed by a soothing body and facial massage to help rebalance the body’s magnetic field, and to restore and relax the nervous system.

Bio-Rhythm Treatment

120 minutes

Travelling, particularly flying and jet lag, disturbs our body’s natural flow of energy. The natural flow of the body’s bio-rhythm is closely linked to the body’s magnetic energy field. This electrical magnetic field is made up of negative and positive ions. Negative ions charge the body with energy and vitality and a feeling of wellness. Positive ions deplete the body’s energy and leave the body feeling drained, tired and stressed. Travelling unbalances the magnetic field and the body becomes filled with positive ions.

The aim of this treatment is to restore the body’s natural biorhythm and deeply relax the nervous
system. The energy scrub and mud wrap contain high levels of minerals in an ional form that, as they
become warm, emit large amounts of negative ions, charging and restoring the bio-magnetic energy field. Then a Kundalini back massage is given to balance and relax the nervous system, finishing with a face marma massage while the client is enveloped in warm blankets.

3. Healing

Manipura (Vital Energy)

90 minutes

Manipura means beautiful jewel in Sanskrit. It refers to the solar plexus (naval) chakra – our centre of fire and sun energy that ignites our health and restores vitality. This treatment starts with a Himalayan scrub to purify and detox the physical and subtle bodies, followed by a massage that stimulates and balances the solar ‘sun’ vitality within us. This is achieved through marma massage, lymphatic drainage and applying Himalayan herb poultices to the 10 petals of the solar plexus. This is a unique body massage combining various techniques to harness and restore the vitality of the body allowing a positive flow of energy.

Metta

60-90 minutes

This treatment honours and respects the ancient Buddhist traditions of healing and loving kindness,
restoring energy and also harmonizing and strengthening the body’s natural free flow of energy.

Carefully selected organic and wild grown essential oils, including sea buckthorn, are used. Traditional techniques are applied to purify the five elements of the body, stimulate the lymphatic system and then, with more vigorous massage, to energise the subtle body and meridian system. This includes cupping, acupressure, kneading, rocking and the application of hot stones and hot poultices.

Karuna Kaya

90 minutes

Showing compassion to ourselves and our physical bodies is an important part of the Buddhist principle of ‘metta bhavana’, and brings with it a lightness of being. This deep and rhythmic body work allows realignment and softening of the muscular system and stimulation of energy flow. Based on Asian traditions and using your choice of Song Saa’s signature blends.

Kundalini Back Massage

75 minutes

Kundalini – a female goddess of awareness in the form of a coiled snake – is the dormant energy in the base of the spine, which, when awakened, travels up the spine to the third eye. This leads to increased energy and spiritual enlightenment.

This treatment is a healing back massage that is deeply soothing, relaxing and balancing to the whole nervous system thanks to the synergistic use of an essential oil blend used in combination with ancient massage techniques and chakra healing.

Marine Algae Facial

75 minutes

This treatment combines a unique blend of active ingredients from the waters around Song Saa – sea lettuce, plankton, sea lavender and bio plasma seaweed – with lymphatic drainage so that the skin is deeply hydrated, re-energised and purified. Any puffiness is removed and skin tone becomes even and radiant. This unique facial combines a new technique called ‘nerve point therapy’, which helps calm and rejuvenate the nervous system by smoothing out the nerves and releasing tension and stress within the face, as well as toxins.

The facial commences with a head massage followed by a garnet face scrub. The active marine algae serum is applied, lymphatic drainage and nerve point therapy given and finally a freshly blended and active marine algae mask is applied.

Marine Flora Wrap

90 minutes

A marine algae scrub rich in active sea plasmas, juniper berry, lavender and Himalayan salt stimulates and detoxifies the lymphatic system as well as exfoliating the skin. This treatment is excellent for reducing cellulite and at the same time improving the texture and hydration of the skin.

A marine gel is applied over the scrub, which is a concentrate of sea lettuce, sea lavender, bio plasma and organic active seaweeds. The body is wrapped for 20 minutes for the absorption of the active ingredients and revitalising of the energy from negative ions.

The active marine plasmas detoxify and stimulate the lymphatic system, protect against free radicals
and help eliminate pollutants from cells. The metabolic function of skin cells is improved

Marine Flora Immersion

150 minutes

Completely immerse yourself in the power of marine flora with scrub, wrap and Metta massage with
a marine infused oil.

A rich vitamin and mineral hair mud mask follows that feeds, strengthens and thickens the hair.

Body Scrubs

60 minutes

Our body scrubs provide a blissful experience that energise and detoxify. On a physical level the scrub stimulates the lymphatic system, aids circulation and eliminates toxins. The scrub is a whole experience in which the client enjoys lymphatic drainage, marma massage and effleurage techniques.

On a subtle level the power of the salt and oils in the scrub cleanse and strengthen the bio-energy field with more light. When it becomes warm with friction the high mineral content of the Himalayan salt emits negative ions that leave the client looking and feeling radiant.

Recommended for both a daily boost and for deeper health issues. A body scrub is an ideal
treatment for cellulite, stress and exhaustion, and can be combined and followed by an ila massage.

Metta Bhavana, comes from the ancient Pali language spoken by the Buddha. Metta means love, friendliness or kindness – hence ‘loving-kindness’ for short. It is an emotion, something you feel in
your heart. Bhavana means development or cultivation.

ila can develop Metta Bhavana as a guided meditation, relaxation and yoga focus for Song Saa
guests.
