Mexico's Mayan civilisation were masters at mindfulness, constantly observing their surroundings and the stars, studying rhythm and flow of the Universe to understand the meaning of life.   NIZUC Spa by ESPA has launched a holistic treatment menu based around Mayan mindfulness.  Therapies include a Mindful Massage, a Mindful Facial, a Couple's Mindful Journey and a three-day Be Mindful programme that includes a signature NIZUC Thermal Experience, mindful treatments, yoga or meditation, and juicing.

Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing ones awareness on the present moment. NIZUC's Mayan Mindfulness treatments begin with a guided breathing and visualisation session to revitalise and promote wellbeing, connecting the mind and spirit with the body for true holistic wellbeing.  Treatments include:

Mindful Massage – 80 minutes

Designed to unwind the mind and instil a sense of positivity, this deeply relaxing and enlightening experience begins with mindfulness.  A therapist guides guests through a deep breathing and calming visualisation session, before moving onto a full body massage giving special attention to the metamorphic zones on the feet to rebalance.  The treatment finished with a re-energising scalp massage using warm Rose Quartz crystals.

Mindful Facial – 80 minutes

This holistic personalized facial aims to soothe, nurture and revitalise skin and spirit.  The therapist renews energy by guiding guests through a breathing and visualisation technique, before giving a facial massage using warmed poultices to sculpt and tone the facial contours while nourishing and replenishing the skin. The treatment finishes with a choice of a soothing scalp massage or hand and arm massage.

Couple's Mindful Journey – 160 minutes

A truly bonding experience for couples looking to extend their spiritual connection and have a meaningful moment together. The therapy includes a couples guided breathing and visualisation, a deeply relaxing Mindful Massage followed by the nourishing Mindful Facial and concluding with a Healthy Spa Lunch.
