Time to unwind. It’s National Relaxation Day!
National Relaxation Day is celebrated on August 15th, advocating chilling out and promoting stress relief through meditation and other relaxation techniques. Why is it so important to relax? Well, it boosts many benefits to our health:
- Lowers your heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate
- Reduces muscle tension and chronic pain
- Improves concentration and mood
- Reduces fatigue
- Reduces anger and frustration
- Boosts confidence to handle problems
Taking a break from the fast pace helps to recuperate and rejuvenate our tired minds and bodies and helps prevent many health risks.
A few, easy ways to include relaxation in your life
Either using visualisation, that is creating a mental image of a calming place for you; deep breathing refocusing your attention on your breath; meditating; using mindfulness colouring books to help you focus on the present moment and take your mind off other things; or exercising; find that relaxation technique that works best for you, and make it part of your everyday routine —5 or 10 minutes a day will work!

LAND’S END PAMPERING EXPERIENCE (massage/facial/body scrub)
- PRE-HISPANIC MASSAGE
Traditional Mexican healing wisdom combined with a modern pampering experience and skin care/body technology makes this treatment highly recommended for fearless souls. Going back in time to “Cuxta” (Life in Mayan) this massage is the epitome of head-to-toe purifying experiences. Traditional adjustments with a Mexican shawl or rebozo and herbal oils are just the beginning of this 170-minute journey.
- THE DETOX FACIAL CURE DEEP CLEANSING
An exceptional facial cure that deep-cleans and detoxifies while relieving stress.
This meticulous cleansing protocol is based on thermo-active enzymatic detoxification. Heat is used to open and soften pores, and botanical freshness is applied to close and purify your skin.
A new concept that pampers your skin and provides an immediate state of well-being and a maximum purity look.
- BAMBOO BODY SCRUB
This delicate body scrub uses bamboo micro particles especially selected to massage and exfoliate your skin while purifying and removing impurities.
