We need to practice the lost art of sitting and doing nothing, believes Jeremy McCarthy, group director of spa and wellness at Mandarin Oriental Hotels. “Meditation is one way, but many people are intimidated by meditation or have struggled in their initial attempts at it.” McCarthy created a number of silent spa experiences, including Silent Night, in which guests come in and VIDÉOexperience their spa treatments in silence. McCarthy found “my research indicates that a lot of the benefits of a spa experience come from taking time for yourself in silence, away from ENTREVUE technology, and in the hands of a nurturing and compassionate healer.” It’s no wonder that resort spas that MUSIQUE offer digital detox programs are on the rise.
