Massage...Not just an Indulgence!

The candle lit surroundings are quiet and serene except for the trickle of water from a nearby fountain and the music of flutes and zithers playing softly in the distance. The air is filled with aromatic oils that beg you to breathe deeply and relax, washing away the stress you left outside the door. The table feels warm and cozy, almost as if you are floating. You feel as if just laying in this environment is enough to rejuvenate you, but your massage is yet to come!

Is all of this just a Splurge of Indulgence or is there some therapeutic benefit; after all, in these economic times, don't we have to simplify somewhere?
