Valeur Absolue Harmonie Massage Oil is a unique blend of vegetable and essential oils. At each stage of the ritual, it’s recommended to slightly heat the Massage Oil in order to provide maximum levels of pleasure and relaxation to the client.

• Set the atmosphere with the vibrating background music of your choice, with a frequency of at least 432hz.
• Prepare 3 Amethyst stones to keep a soft and constant heat throughout the entire treatment. Pro Tip: Wrap stones in a warm towel or keep them warm inside a dedicated device.
• Purify gemstones by submerging them in organic saltwater for 1-2 hours and cleanse. Or, wrap stones in a mixture of organic argil and water. Once dried, cleanse and rinse.
• Prepare Inhalation Bowl with a mixture of ¼ warm water, 3 drops of Harmonie Oil, and the amethyst crystals in a small bowl. Place in a hot towel cabi.
• You should meditate for a few moments before seeing the client. Free yourself of all invasive thoughts and place your mind in a welcoming state. Visualize yourself in a beautiful, large, bright bubble—your feet flat and anchored to the ground above all.

With a serene mindset, you can now welcome the client into a cheerful space where they will feel completely at ease.

1. 1. Invite the guest to lay on their back on a heated massage bed with a comfortably wrapped blanket, depending on the temperature or climate.
2. 2. Undrape the guest’s feet and wrap each foot with a warm, damp towel that has been enhanced with 2 drops of Harmonie Oil. Perform compressions and then lightly cleanse with the towel as you remove it from each foot.
3. 3. Dispense 2 drops of Harmonie Oil into electric bootie liners and apply the liners and booties onto the guest’s feet. Re-drape their feet with the sheet and blanket.
4. 4. Apply 2 sprays of Harmonie fragrance to your hands, hold above guest’s nose (6" away) and encourage slow, deep, abdominal breathing.
5. 5. Place the smallest amethyst stone to the guest’s 3rd eye chakra in small clockwise spirals, then leave in place.
6. 6. Place your hands on their shoulders, inviting them to relax. Apply stretches to shoulders on exhalation—together, then alternating—working with the guest’s exhalation.
7. 7. Gently sweep your hands above the length of the guest’s body, about 12-24 inches away, in order to take full consciousness of the person’s exterior and energy.
8. 8. Gently place your hands on the face and smooth the skin slowly (per the therapist’s creative preference).
9. 9. Take both larger stones and sweep them laterally across the entire body—along the sides of the body and up to the arch of the foot—in order for this energy to provide an overall effect on the body.
10. 10. Remove 3rd eye stone in small spirals, counterclockwise to the client.

Dry Scalp Massage (To relax the mind, enabling the body to relax)

1. 1. Fully support the guest’s head, with your little fingers touching the occipital ridge, and gently stretch the neck.
2. 2. Turn head to the left, maintaining support with your left hand, and place your right hand on guest’s right shoulder. Stretch and hold for 5 seconds, then repeat to opposite side.
3. 3. Bring head back to center, maintaining contact at occipital ridge.
4. 4. Perform light kneading with fingertips from occipital to crown.
5. 5. Gently activate pressure points from hairline to crown, working entire scalp.

• 1. Uncover abdominal area and gently apply Harmonie Massage Oil on the stomach and sides with clockwise circular motions.

• 3. Retrieve the stones from the client’s hands and perform clockwise alternating circles with the stone edges, being mindful of pressure. Continue with alternating waist pulls using stones. Hold stones on solar plexus and sacral chakras (on top of the diaphragm and 1" below belly button) with static clockwise circles. Finish with alternating effleurages and cover the abdomen.

• 13. In order to harmonize, finish with a complete sweep using the stones. Descend from the shoulders to the lower back, ascend through the flanks, and return to the arms to move towards the tips of the fingers. Laterally sweep the body, starting from the shoulders down to the soles of the feet.
