1. The Garden as a Sanctuary.

There are unlimited opportunities to relax in the garden surrounding once everything is setup for it. The process of putting everything together will take time, but there is no doubts the process itself and the result after will bring authentic emotions to its designer (You!).

When you have answers to these questions a picture of your own Spa will appear in your mind!

The garden needs to be planned to grow herbs for use in your spa remedies, of course, but more than that, remember that you are creating a space to experience the hand blended treatment for yourself! This is your outdoor spa, the sanctuary of healing and restoring. Be selfish. Your sanctuary will be a place to read, eat, sleep, bathe or shower. Make it personnel. Pick plants and materials thoughtfully, relying on your and only your preferences!

When designing the garden take into consideration such factors as security, privacy and protection from the elements. Position your space very purposefully.

2. Indoor Temple.

To create a personal sanctuary inside your home choose a relaxing area where you can feel separate from the usual activity of the home. If you liked the interior of a spa center or any place that made you feel relaxed go ahead and recreate this experience at home! Objects from natural wood, plants, earthen tones, the fragrance of fresh herbs, light - all of that, when arranged exactly in the way you envisioned it, will stimulate your senses and help you to relax! Create a playlist that is used just for the spa time. Music is a memory trigger and targeting the right kind of music or sounds to your spa time will encourage calm and relaxation.

Another important component of your spa at home experience is aroma! The power of fragrance is legendary, from the use of crashed fragrant plants in ancient history to the alternative therapies of the modern world. Whether it is your favorite burning aroma essential oil, ointment or a candle the outcome of aromatherapy is rewarding.

Creation of a spa retreat at home is definitely an inspiration and motivation to dedicate time to relax and create a pleasurable, deeply beneficial experience. Having the spa experience in your own home brings a special degree of relaxation and complements the author for the idea and personal touch! After the relaxed time you don't have to get in the car and then drive back home. You are at home! Simply relax, go to bed, meditate in your own space. What could be better than that?
