under warm towels, the massage experience begins. There is a gentle ringing of three chimes, one after another.

I spent time in the relaxation room, reading from the Medicine Cards book to learn more about “the lizard,” which was on the card I had selected. Now, I was hoping I would have picked something cuter, like a dog, or rabbit or something fuzzy, but instead it was something that I jump when I see. To the lizard’s credit, it represents dreams and it was interesting to learn about its influence and tie to nature. Dream interpretation is something that I am curious about, so this made for a nice end to my total experience.
