Now Kabbalah followers can get their spiritual and physical pampering at Toronto’s Pantages Spa. The therapists begin each massage session by offering you a glass of blessed water. Next, your body is massaged with oil that has been energized — using shiatsu, reiki and sound and meditation techniques. “People always leave with a sense of well-being — like they left behind some of their worries on the massage table,” says therapist David Yacoub. $150-$190 for 90 minutes; www.pantagesspa.com.
