As their name suggests, Spa Chakra subscribes to the chakra belief system: in order to be "well" and "whole, " a person must address all aspects of their body holistically-mentally, physically and spiritually. Chakras are referred to in many of the world's oldest healthcare practices and religions, and are believed to be the seven spinning wheels of energy and light aligned along a person's spine. Each chakra corresponds to certain components of a person's physical, emotional and spiritual being. Spa Chakra believes that almost all physical ailments have some connection to emotional, mental or spiritual issues, and have designed a range of treatments with this philosophy in mind.

AN AMBIENCE OF SOLITUDE AND PEACE ALLOW THE OUTSIDE WORLD TO SLIP FROM SIGHT AND MIND
The Spa and Fitness Centre, Four Seasons Hotel, Sydney
Stress is costing the business community bill ions of dollars in skills loss and replacement each year as people succumb to the physical and mental effects of stress-related illness. Consequently, the corporate market is having a dramatic effect on the spread of spas. City spas in Australia report an increase in executives booking regular massages, companies bulk-buying spa gift certificates and conference organisers who prefer to book venues with spa facilities.
Located in the heart of Sydney's central business district and a short stroll from many of Sydney's major tourist attractions like the Art Gallery, Opera House and historic Rocks area, this spa is popular with locals and visitors alike. The thoughtful ability to balance the needs of busy executives and holidaymakers is evident on the spa menu where packages like The Executive Express and The Stress Buster are found alongside Seduction of the Senses and Island Indulgence.
Moss-green marble and slate, cedar, polished chrome and frosted glass are used throughout. Eight treatment rooms double as massage or wet rooms and the largest contains a double jacuzzi, combined steam and shower room and twin treatment tables. Comfortable changing rooms are fitted with a "suit mate" that dries swimsuits in five seconds.
Besides hotel guests, the spa is open to casual visitors. A range of 15-and 30-minute express treatments, like the de-stress scalp massage, express facial or neck and shoulder massage, are perfect for those in need of time out. Clients are encouraged to fully utilise the steam rooms and saunas.
The signature treatment here is very special. The intoxicating journey through the four seasons begins with brushing the body with tea tree oil to prepare the skin for further delights. Warm oil is drizzled, then massaged over the back using the nurturing Hawaiian Wave technique from toe to fingertips, followed by Reiki Chakra balancing and penetrating hot stone massage for deep relaxation. A potent Japanese silk protein treatment is then applied to the face, promising total renewal, and rejuvenation is completed with an arm and hand massage and mask.
The Four Seasons' Spa offers a sanctuary in the city, where an ambience of solitude and peace allow the outside world to recede from sight and mind.
