Lighten up
August 20, 2024 - Discover new ways to feel enlightened, or simply a little lighter, on a wellness journey into your soul at Six Senses Kaplankaya, your heart at Six Senses Samui, and the jungle at Six Senses Krabey Island.
What does Six Senses mean by out-of-the-ordinary?
By finding new ways to have fun, you may discover something new about yourself along the way. Being blessed with sublime surroundings gives us the chance to incorporate nature in ways that surprise and delight. After all, being in nature is natural for humans, as astronomer and scientist Carl Sagan said, “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff.”
With that in mind, we’ll soon have you dancing around the fire pit, meditating in a cave, and opening your chakras. Before you lift an eyebrow because it all sounds a bit “woo-woo”, feel free to leave the serious side to our experts and simply enjoy the experience. You might find yourself a little more carefree as a result, especially when surrounded by a like-minded community and guided by our fun and energetic Visiting Practitioners. Step out of your comfort zone and into…
Soul sessions at Six Senses Kaplankaya
Nature is our biggest healer if we open up to her. Humans have gathered under a full moon for millennia, using the hyperactive energy of this monthly occurrence to come out of the survival mode we tend to live in, let go of negative emotions and set positive intentions. As part of our commitment to reconnection, Six Senses simply brings you back to your roots.
Each month when the moon is blooming, Six Senses Kaplankaya offers space, seclusion and serenity, Aegean style, and a special soul session beneath the never-ending, star-spangled sky. Gather around the fire pit on our private sandy beach for an immersive Full Moon Ceremony (a little howl is optional).
The evening begins with a welcome ceremony, using sacred water to release your cares and make space for a connection with your internal voice. As you listen out for your own quiet wisdom amidst the noise and clamor of the outer world, you’ll begin to open up to the messages you’ve been trying to tell yourself. You may gain some inner clarity and insight.
Next, you’ll ignite your internal energy by tapping into the power of your breath. Each inhalation/exhalation encourages emotional release, helping to deepen your connection to self and shifting stuck thoughts or patterns. As the flames dance and the fire crackles, your breath slows, and you may just find a moment of calm to set a lasting and meaningful intention. Whether you’re a first-timer or regular mooner, this memorable evening usually promotes a sound night’s sleep, so you’ll wake up feeling lighter and more carefree.
Heart connections at Six Senses Samui
The soft sands and swaying palms at Six Senses Samui frame sweeping panoramic views over the sapphire waters of the Gulf of Thailand in a tropical island vision set to make your heart sing. This inspiring setting is where our Visiting Practitioner Keerana Sripongpankul hosts a new Release Your Worry mindfulness session, specially crafted to balance your heart chakra.
If you’re new to chakra balancing, chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning circle or wheel. Chakras are thought to be the energy or power centers that connect to different parts of the body and hold the key to well-being. There are seven in total, with the fourth chakra, Anahata, or the heart chakra, representing the ability to love and be loved.
The heart chakra is at the very center of this energy channel and, therefore, considered to be the most crucial. If your chakras become blocked or unbalanced, because of emotional or physical issues, this can have a detrimental effect on your physical and mental state. But when your heart chakra is balanced, you’ll feel compassion and empathy – for yourself and others – more confident and connected to the world and surrounded by love and joy.
Over 60 minutes, Keerana employs the healing vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls to help you release any negative emotions and replace them with positive, open-hearted, and healing energy. With over 20 years of experience in her field, Keerana is a holistic healer, Reiki master, sound healing practitioner, and psychotherapist. She also has an innate talent for energy reading and chakra balancing, so you’re in very good hands!
