| Interneral: Ambient Noise Reduction |
When using The Lotus System™, music becomes more than a comforting tool. It becomes the driving force that turns what’s thought to be “just a massage”, into a journey and experience. When the recipient is fitted with a sanitized, ambient noise reduction headset, only being able to listen to the music and the CMT/LMTs’ voice when needed, their state of mind enters a place most have never gone before. It provides a place of total relaxation and unison within themselves, powered by the music and the massage linked as one.
In the field of massage, music is supposed to be used as a tool to help the recipient relax and feel comfortable. Ambient noise between the music and the recipient has never been recognized or considered to be a hindrance, but it is in so many ways. In reality, it becomes ambient noise.

We conducted a research study involving spa enthusiasts regarding what noises interrupted their massage. The results were interesting to say the least. There were answers of something suddenly being dropped. Passing aircraft, automobile traffic outside and the sound of a toilet flushing were mentioned. The ones that were mentioned more often than not are hearing other individuals walking and talking just outside the room, phones ringing through the wall, squeaky wheels on a linen cart, ventilation systems, cabinet doors closing and doors being accidentally slammed.

The minute notes and tones of music and sound hold the key results a practitioner could use to produce a better quality massage using this system. Neither the practitioner nor the recipient can pick up on these minute sounds when the speaker is some distance away.
All New Age, massage oriented and other genres associated with cerebral stimulation record while transferring back and forth between the right and left channels, or speakers. The recordings are meant to be heard through headphones. Using the system, the recipient’s mind flows with that transference while the massage is flowing on a mid sagittal plane, or more plainly, right to left and vice versa. This assists in sustaining the vital connection of massage with music.

If there is a “break” in that relaxation, even a momentary “break” because of ambient noise, the body and mind has to reset itself. This causes subconscious and conscious stress to the recipients’ nervous systems and mind, thus affecting the body. The recipient begins thinking about things not related to the massage and has to make a conscious effort to clear their mind, again. It takes time for the mind to clear, the body to relax and for the recipients’ heart rhythms to sync with the brains’ energy pulses, or synapse output. A perfect example of this would be just starting to relax as a recipient ten minutes into the massage session and you hear a phone ring through the wall, then the person’s conversation on the phone. Without distraction, when the recipients’ body and mind react to music wearing headphones, they become more willing to receive on a conscious and subconscious level faster than normal. This paves the way for a more effective and efficient massage.
