Realizing that I am now embodying most of the last season of Rachel Zoe –- where every five seconds someone turned to the camera and said, “Everything Is On The Line” or “The Stakes Have Never Been Higher” or “It’s All Come Down to This” –– regarding that the novel I’ve been working on forever is soon to go out into the world (pending conference call with agent and producer on Tuesday) …. It was time today to take off and fly the coop.
First I went to Bikram in the morning which was totally fantastic.
After I intensely answered emails and calls for a few hours –– including 40 communications with the film company that’s putting lights on our roof for tomorrow’s all-night shoot.
And then I took off for Osmosis –– a truly awesome experience.
Their signature treatment is that they are the only place in America that does this Japanese thing where they bury you under a ton of cedar and other chips that are organically fermenting –– thus super-warm.
Apparently, I am the only person in their 20 years of operation who asked if they would turn off the music so I could listen to my favorite meditation on my iphone instead … but to their credit they did. And so for 20 minutes –– with 4 scheduled intervention moments where they change your cold compress and offer you a sip of water through a straw, much like in THE ENGLISH PATIENT –– I listened to an Abraham-Hicks meditation and then some Tibetan bells.
The drive to and fro, by the way, is unbelievably beautiful –– endless bucolic country roads where you can speed along at 60 in your new convertible –– and I returned to SF just in time to have dinner with SK(W) and JW(K) at Hillstone.
And now, early to bed since I have a 6 am client and the (W)/(K)s have a 5am trip to the Apple store for new iPhones.
Here’s the view of the Japanese garden where you wait for your treatments, drinking a little enzyme tea before you’re zombified in cedar chips.
[IE, “SERENITY TO THE MAX” –– are you getting that?]
