We go through our days unconsciously processing
far more of the information around us than we realize.
For example,
• people’s conversations
• footsteps
• other people’s eyes
• background noises
• bright lighting
Everyday life is full of stimuli like these.
The brain is constantly taking in this information
and judging whether it is needed or not.
So even when your body is sitting and resting,
your brain often is not fully at rest.
Today in particular, with so much information coming from smartphones and computers,
it is easy for the brain to keep working even when we aren’t aware of it.
In fact, even at relaxation salons,
it is not unusual to find spaces divided only by curtains or fabric,
or with walls open at the top so you can hear the conversations and sounds next door.
Of course, that alone is not necessarily a bad thing,
but with outside information constantly coming in,
some people find it easy to stay on edge without realizing it.
At La HEAD,
we place great importance on creating an environment where your head can easily rest.
That is why, in addition to a fully private room,
• the brightness of the lighting
• the quiet of the sound
• the scent
• a sense of space
we take all of these into account in our design.
It is also said that the more secure people feel in an environment,
the more easily the parasympathetic nervous system comes into play.
By reducing outside stimuli themselves,
in addition to gentle stimulation of the head,
many guests find that tension naturally melts away.
In fact,
“I felt calm the moment I walked in.”
“Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.”
many guests tell us things like this.
Relaxation
is not about “trying hard to let go,”
but about whether you can place yourself in an environment where it happens naturally.
Precisely because of the times we live in,
choosing a space where even your brain can rest
may be key to taking care of your condition.
