Hello dear readers,

We would like to share with you a few thoughts on a concept that inspires us every day; The Slow Movement.

It all started around 1986 when Carlo Petrini, a political activist, took part in a campaign against the fast food chain McDonald’s that was opening a new branch in Rome. He then founded the International Slow Movement in response to the growing fast food culture.
First, the movement was focusing on the food culture, but it quickly reached other areas of our everyday lives; arts, design, fashion, urban planning and so on.

“The fast life is all around us – fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, and fast holidays. We may be living great lives but we aren’t ‘there’ for them. We don’t take the time to linger over food, over friends, over our family etc. We are not savouring our life and are starving of the real connection to our life.” This quote found on the Slow Movement website (www.slowmovement.com) truly captures the essential elements behind this philosophy: Slow down, enjoy the present fully, and feed meaningful connections with yourself and others.


We know how it all sounds so straightforward and simple, and yet when it comes down to practice, we all struggle to find the time to enjoy the benefits of a slower life pace.
How many times have we all whished we had more time? More time to go and see that exhibition, more time to read that book, more time to go and see that film, more time to hang out with friends and family… We all seem to crave time!

What How To Spa suggests is that you try and make it into an everyday habit to free your mind and become genuinely available for yourself and others.
It can be taking the time to meditate once the kids are in bed, even if it’s only 5 minutes, or taking 5 min at lunch break at work to book those tickets for that exhibition, or answering friends and family’s messages on the bus and enjoy a meaningful chat, or simply day dreaming and enjoying the present moment while on public transport.
Wellbeing professionals make of this slow pace a priority. It is a philosophy they all share and implement in their everyday work to help you disconnect from your worries and busy life and enjoy a moment of total relaxation that leaves you energized and at peace with your body and mind.

This philosophy has inspired us to create relaxation tutorials that will help you make your very own spa at home moment with self-massage guidance, tips and products suggestions to make the most of this slow time you allow yourself. You can spend 5, 10 or 20 minutes with HTS’s tutorials, so feel free to download a free leaflet or purchase our new video tutorials that will make it even more relaxing as you’ll just have to let the voice and music guide you.

Don’t rush, take your time and indulge yourself. Regather the way that suits you and enjoy the precious moments of life.
