What if the missing piece in your life was an amethyst crystal? What if the use of a certain colour could balance and cool the raging charkas in your body? Simplistic? No, simply holistic.Ask Vikas Gupta, the Manager at The Grand Ashoks sparkling new, 11,000 square ft spa, Rejuve and he will talk effortlessly about the many ways in which the body can find its lost rhythms.Rejuve recently hosted an interactive session where

alternate therapy masters revealed how food, colour, crystals, meditation and a blend of Eastern and Western massages can heal mind, body and soul. Soorya Kaur, a certified hypnotherapist, a “sylvan specialist,” an intriguing follower of the raw food movement, introduced the concept of uncooked cuisine to Bangalore.“Raw food is becoming a major movement in the West. At the Spa we will initiate people into the benefits of following this specially developed diet for certain periods of time. I will combine the food with energizing yoga and a deeply relaxing hypnotherapy which will help the mind to rid off its shadows and the hurtful messages embedded in the subconscious. Maybe you cannot figure out why you are angry all the time. Maybe it has nothing to do with you but some message that entered your subconscious and told you that your were bad or unloved or worthless. With Hypnotheraoy and visualisation, you will be able to let go off the feelings which may have

haunted you all this while,” said she.She added, “There is so much stress in the world. There are suicides happening everywhere and it is all so needless. All you need is to go back to Nature. All the answers we need are within us and with the right kind of techniques, we can get to those answers.”She also spread out a feast to show that uncooked need not be unappetizing. Many guests sampled a tangy raw mango salad, organic pasta, a fat free chocolate dessert and much more with some incredulity to know that food need not be smothered in fat and spices to taste good.Kaur has developed something called a Cleanse Cafi, a 7-day package designed to get rid the body of toxins and wastes. The food includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts, sea weeds, raw carob powder, cold pressed olive oil, and well-chosen herbs and spices along with soups, salads, pumpkin noodles, pasta, lasagna, desserts, sauces, and ketchups, all presented with a flourish.

“Afterall, fifty per cent of the eating is with the eyes,” says Kaur.Pam Mehera, numerologist, chromotherapist and tarot card reader held forth on the significance of colours in our body and life. She said, “The body is made up of many charkas and each chakra has a specific colour. We will find out what colour is required by a client to balance his or her charkas.”Mehera has a theory about colour affecting energy levels, stimulating glands, affecting the production of certain hormones and she achieves desired results with the help of gemstones, candles, wands, prisms, colored fabrics, bath treatments, and even colored eye wear!The holistic treatment packages also target knotted emotions, extreme mood swings and general stress with something called an Emotional package which uses red and pink crystals, rose and chamomile aroma oils, music and candles to help you relax.There is also a Peace Package, a Healing Package, a Transformation Package

and a Rainbow Healing Package. The treatments and packages could cost you anything from Rs 1,000 to Rs 13,000. To those with a more conventional attitude towards health and well being, the spa offers a state-of-the-art-gym, spa pools and suites, sauna, whirlpool, salon, Jacuzzi, specially developed spa cuisine, a yoga suite, a meditation area and more.However, if you want to add some new age colour to your life, contact: +91-25597078, for more information "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
