Perhaps it's also important for the bed itself to be of same base colour as the towel and stones perhaps? But the flower not... that should be of colour somewhere on opposite side of the colour wheel? Or a particular number of degrees even?

Done with basalt stones of varying size that are heated to a certain degree. I don't do the massage bit, but I've acquired the stones & am adding it to other 'lie-down' therapies simply as a feelgood factor. The main stones are placed along the spine at the chakra points.

Post subject: Spa treatments with pebbles

I have been looking at a lot of websites for spas and luxury hotels recently, and there's various photographs of people lying on their front with a line of pebbles sitting along the length of their spine.

What's going on here? Is this some kind of alternative treatment?
