Consider lighting and music. The lighting in the massage room should be dim, but not
dark, to promote a soothing but not sleepy atmosphere. Turn off the overhead lights
in the room, and if the sun is bright, close the shades as well. Consider lighting a few
candles around the room. If you want to use music to help the person you're
massaging feel relaxed, choose peaceful instrumental music without a steady beat.
Help the person you're massaging get comfortable. Invite the person into the room
and show them the bed or spot on the floor you've set up for the massage. It's up to
you and the person you're massaging to determine what the person wears during the
massage. If clothing is worn, it should be thin and lightweight, so that the massage can
be effectively administered through the fabric.
Let the person know that he or she should lie face down on the bed or massage area.
You may want to leave the room for a few minutes so he or she has time to get
comfortable before the massage begins.
