9 Ways to Unwind on National Relaxation Day

Give your butt a break with a fanny facial. Offered at the country’s hottest spas, the treatment typically includes exfoliation, extraction and a mask. Smooth Synergy spa in New York City tops things off with a full body spray tan, leaving you calm, confident and rearing to go.

Enjoy an anytime snooze with The Feel Seating System Deluxe. Composed of 120 squishy balls, this oversize piece can be molded into countless positions allowing you to create the chair, lounger or bed of your dreams.

Get a jump on the day at Skyzone Sports where wall-to-wall and on-the-wall trampolines let you bounce with abandon. End your session—and your stress—by taking a leap into one of Skyzone’s giant foam pits.

While scents like lavender and jasmine calm the mind, the aroma of bacon—yes, bacon—creates that warm, fuzzy feeling known as nostalgia. Relax and recollect with Sweet Soap’s Sizzling Bacon Soy Candle, a product that not only smells, but also sounds, like bacon on the griddle.

Release your anger in a safe and insanely fun way with a good old-fashioned pillow fight. While the official Pillow Fight Day has passed, you can still de-stress with two fluffy weapons and one willing foe. As the feathers fly, you’ll be on cloud nine.

Visit an aquarium—without your kids—so you can simply sit and stare. Scientists have found that watching fish swim has the same calming affect on brainwaves as the anxiety drug Xanax. While they inspire angst at the beach, jellyfish are actually most effective at calming the mind thanks to their translucent bodies and rhythmic movements.

Take the day off from gadgets, TV, and the Internet by sticking to a list of don’ts, like don’t visit Facebook, don’t play Words with Friends and don’t watch Say Yes to the Dress (you know you’ve seen every episode anyway). In addition to a slower-paced day, you’ll have extra time for the no-tech activities you used to enjoy more often.

Enhance your chi with the sound of music. Visitors to The Integratron in the Mojave Desert lie on mats in a wooden tabernacle and listen to music made by quartz crystal singing bowls. A 60-minute “sound bath” session allegedly aligns your chakras, relaxes your body and energizes your spirit.

Try out vibration therapy, which accelerates the body’s healing process and increases intake of both oxygen and nutrients. Clients of California’s ChiroMassage Centers say a ten-minute session on the company’s pulsating platform leaves them feeling fit and focused.
