Your nudity is encased in a thick layer of dark, sinfully fragrant chocolate. Two trained masseuses are gently caressing your entire body with layers of smooth chocolate. Pure almond oil is massaged into your scalp, to invigorate the roots of your hair. No it's not a dream, but the ultimate indulgence one can enjoy at 'Emerge' the Spa and Wellness clinic in the Wind Flower Resort, Nazarbad, Mysore.

Mysore seems to be emerging as the hub of some of the finest spas in the country. Away from the rat -race that is Bangalore, Mysore still exudes a quaint regal, old world charm which adds to the feeling of relaxation and wellness. Plus and this is an important plus point - it's easier to get to Mysore than to Whitefield today, with the brand new Bangalore Mysore road. 

"We offer a unique and varied bouquet of spa services to help you look good and feel energised, which ultimately leads to a healthier life style. Today both men and women are leading lives of heavy stress and mental pressure, which reveal themselves as illnesses. Here we use a rich blend of Eastern ( Balinese and Ayurvedic) and Western ( Hydrotherapy and Beauty) spa treatments. The Chocolate Indulgence Massage is an advanced Body Works Therapy," reveals Vinita Rashinkar the Spa Director. "We all know that the effects of chocolate are delectably legendary. The unique mixture of pure chocolate and almond oil that your massage consisted of, was meant to replace lost nutrients and imbue you with positive mental energy. Life is more than just the rat race and competition. To stay ahead in the race you need good humour too and that is what the chocolate massage brings back to your life."  But using such a quantity of chocolate sounds wickedly indulgent, and it is. After 45 minutes of gentle massaging, Pushpa helps you off the massage table to the bath. There again it's a sensory experience being submerged in a tub of wonderfully warm water.  Just lie back, shed your inhibitions and let the chocolate coating float off you, with the warmth of the water. The hydration makes your skin glow, but it also removes some body oils. So as a grand finale, Pushpa rubs in some almond oil to replace what the warm water stole off your body.

You can't help but emerge a fresh and tingling, radiant you after indulging in a Chocolate massage.
Emerge offers a Coffee Invigorating massage, which uses caffeine to provide a stimulating and refreshing cleanse. "Caffeine is also a vital ingredient in the treatment of cellulite, so this is a perfect massage for women suffering from unsightly cellulite. This is a condition that affects even younger women with the rich- food- no- exercise schedules of today's world," reveals Vinita.

"We also offer beauty massages like the Javanese Lulur and indulgence bath which is a traditional beauty ritual from the royal palaces of central Java. The Hot Stone Massage uses heated and chilled rocks as therapeutic instruments to stimulate circulation and encourage the flow of blood enriched with oxygen."
Other indulgence massages include The Natural Whitening massage which is supposed to brighten your skin and the Elixir ritual which is the signature spa therapy in the Emerge Spa. " With this massage we combine the health giving qualities of green tea extracts along with the benefits of the hot stone massage to totally de-stress and then relax in an indulgence bath," says Vinita.   

What's great about this spa is they offer indulgences for your man as well. Most men dislike any kind of icky oil massage, so talk to Vinita about the various possibilities on offer for a man. A special facial, pedicure and manicure for the male, is also something he will enjoy quite uncomplainingly. So if you are looking for an indulgent, sinful weekend, book into the Wind Flower resort and Spa in Mysore and give in to the ministrations of the masseuse :
