Meditation has been well known for thousands of years to effectively fight worry, stress, lack of clarity and so much more. For this reason, Six Senses Spas across the world are to be launching a new focus on meditation available to guests and hosts alike.

Research from many conventional universities, medical schools and health centres has shown that regular meditation and mindfulness practice have a great potential in improving symptoms of anxiety and depression, reducing pain and instigating positive psychological change.

Six Senses meditation focuses on mindfulness, and has been created around the brand’s philosophy of the six senses - sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and the elusive sixth sense. Research shows that meditation provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day, and by using mindfulness practices, Six Senses aims to lead the guests to a more balanced state of being.  The Six Senses yoga teacher begins by offering a piece of fruit and a drop of essential oil on everyone’s hand and then guides the group through their meditation.

Practitioners are encouraged to “see” their third eye, inhale the essential oil, hear the unheard, feel the earth and focus on the taste of the fruit as they progress through their meditation. The sixth sense is represented by the heart chakra and practitioners are asked to expand their heart, reconnect and feel love for themselves and others around the world. It is only when our hearts open, that we can feel compassion and genuine empathy for others.  

Meditation sessions are offered complimentary and on a regular basis at Six Senses spas around the world. At Six Senses resorts, guests can enjoy guided meditation at the end of group yoga classes. Six Senses resorts and spas have also introduced short sessions before or after wellness workshops and visiting practitioner talks. There is something for every guest keen to deepen their holiday relaxation and tame the monkey mind.  

Six Senses meditation is not only for guests, but also to expand host practices including in spa hosts’ briefing meetings, training sessions and group activities. The goal is to further enhance Six Senses hosts’ skills and deepen their intuition and compassion which are crucial when providing a highly personalised treatment.
