| Internal: Sight Cancellation |
Sight cancellation during massage is a simple and effective technique when implemented alone. However, combined with the rest of the system’s components; it becomes a vital link for tapping into the recipient’s subconscious mind, heightening they’re conscious state.

When eyes are closed and light is diminished, the body begins to rest and restore energy levels. It also helps sedate the motor cortex, promotes tissue and cell repair, and assists in bringing the body into a state of homeostasis. Also, the brains electrical function slows down and the electrical current isn’t nearly as strong as when we are awake. It’s in the closed eye state that music is integrated and a more receptive brain captures the music’s worth, all while deciphering the aromatherapy, constant massage matching the music while the music consumes you through the headphones. It becomes an experience.
Another reason we included sight cancellation was due to the response we received from clients regarding various spas they have visited across the country. Though thoroughly impressed with the décor, motif and the achievements made to create the environment they wish to project, the positioning of the recessed lighting in the rooms seem to be fixated directly above their eyes when supine and create shadows when prone.

They have conveyed that no matter how dim the lights seem to be, there was still the presence of light peering down. They also informed us of how the practitioner would be in front of the light creating a sense of darkness enabling them to relax, only to move and the light returning. Many individuals disliked the fact of having recessed lighting directly over the table, no matter how dim. Our own research has also found that our recipient’s tend to relax faster because they do not have to consciously keep their eyes closed during the session. In doing so, the recipient becomes more willing to receive bodywork on both a conscious and subconscious level thus producing a higher quality and more effective massage.
