Traditional 'Hilot' experience at Balay Hilom Spa

Tweet

Originating in the Philippines, Hilot is a hands-on healing art that involves intuition and massage – from head to toes.

The full body Hilot massage involves a combination of slow moving fingers and hand pressure over various pressure points throughout the back and legs, and relaxing the tension in the head and neck. 

Hilot methods and techniques passed down from generation to generation and known for its therapeutic benefits, Hilot is perfectly suited to the spa, a uniquely Filipino treatment that spas could offer along on their menu of services.

Last Friday, I with my two daughters visit the Balay Hilom Spa at Quezon City to indulge ourselves with the relaxing and rejuvenating massage after the week of work, attending events and projects.

Quezon City Tourism included Balay Hilom Spa as one of the 75 places to visit in Quezon City, out of tens of thousands of establishments in the city.

Balay Hilom Spa's Hilot massage is rooted from the indigenous healing traditions of Philippine provinces. 

Relaxing, serene ambience and with a province-like interior, you will feel relax and releases you from the stress of the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.

The Balay Hilom Spa friendly accommodating staff welcome and offer us with a freshly prepared cup of Herloom Tea.

The amiable staff dip and washes our feet in a warm water for a few minutes before the Hilot session. 

We choose to experience Balay Hilom Spa‘s signature massage which is the Sinaunang Ginhawa: Hilot Balay Hilom - deep tissue massage that increases blood circulation, improves breathing and frees muscles from “lamig” or pulled muscles.

For just Php 450, a 70-minute massage will help you rid of stress and feel revitalized.

Rediscovering our traditions, Hilot Balay Hilom massage is one of our most enjoying great massage experience, we feel de- stressed, relief and relax. We will definitely go back , with our family and/or friends.

And now the Chakra Massage.

Aroma Chakra Healing Body Massage and Indian Head Massage with the help of world-renowned trainor Ranjeet Kour, The new treatment is finally in the Philippines and hopes to address the country’s wellness industry. Chakra Massage is scanning the major seven Chakra’s of the body and then massaging the body and chakras by using the aroma synergy blend by using and laying of the seven crystals chakra stones.  

It’s a healing massage which helps to balance the major chakras of the body and synergy blend helps the mind to relax.

The Indian Head, Neck and Shoulder Massage is focused on tension area of head, neck and shoulder and is based on the first four chakras of the body to release physical and mental tension.

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning “WHEEL.” There are hundreds of Chakra’s located on our body. But we focus on major seven chakra of the body.  Chakra Healing has been practised since ancient times in Ayurveda and Yoga meditations. When our chakras are blocked then the energy cannot flow through the body which may cause blockages and in turn can cause diseases in the body.

If you notice the Chakra’s are located on the same area of our body which is the location for our 7 major endocrine glands of our body.  In ancient times we did not know the endocrine glands but the healers were aware of these specific areas of the body that are so important to human body that blockages can cause certain conditions.

So Chakra Meditations Chakra healing therapies has been practised since ancient times in India and now is widely practised around the world.

The Body has many Chakras, but Chakra Healing Therapy is mainly concerned with the major seven chakras of the body.  Each of these chakras are found next to the hormonal gland of our body. They push vital force energy (also called Chi, Qi and or Prana) through the body to ensure vitality.

Chakra massage is important for everyone to have as it will balance the chakras of the body, and energy called Prana can flow through easily around our body as in general will help the body to heal itself.  We will sleep better,  can cope with stress and have positive feelings within the body. Experience Chakra massage only at BlueWater Day Spa.
