Meditation Maze

Surrounded by eighty-four Shiva Lingas, the cosmic pillar that represents the infinite nature of Lord Shiva, the meditation maze is a synergy of spiritual power and nature, best experienced soon after sunrise. As you gently lay your feet on the grass floor within the maze and absorb the early morning dew, the healing energies of the earth and the universe is transmitted to your body, leaving you feeling revived and fresh. The cosmic pillar represents strength and creation. In such a positive environment, nature does its own wonders by helping you establish an inner balance to set you on a positive path for the day. Meditating beside by the maze in the mornings can help deepen your powers of concentration, strengthen the heart and the lungs, relax the body and counter mental fatigue.

Chakra Sound Chambers

One of the central aspects of yogic philosophy and Buddhist medicine, the Chakras are centres of energy, responsible for distributing energy around the body. The balance of the Chakras can be maintained through the use of colour, light, sound, positive energy and crystals, each of which have been integrated into the Chakra Sound Therapy Chamber. Each chamber is dedicated to one of the seven Chakras present in the human body. With optional guidance, you can work to rebalance the Chakras, allowing energy to flow smoothly throughout the body, stimulating the positivity and power within.

Navagraha Vana

According to Hindu Vedic Astrology, the positions of the nine planets (Navagraha) deeply affect our lives, influencing our health, emotions and the level of success and hardship that we face. The Garden of the Nine Planets has captured the vibrant cosmic energies of the planets with a combination of trees, bushes and grass species, which are specific to each planet. The plantation at this garden helps to counteract any difficulties that have arisen from the influence of the planets, giving protection from such forces. Consultation with an astrological master can be arranged upon request.

Body Treatments

The Pancha Kosha Himalayan Spa offers a range of treatments, drawing from the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, Buddhist medicine and the rare medicinal herbs of the Himalayas. Addressing each Kosha, each therapy and massage has been designed to relax the senses and revive the body.

Set in lush woodland, several spa suites have been designed for individuals and couples to enjoy the treatments in complete privacy and comfort.

KARMA

Our actions and activities influence our health, happiness and wellbeing. This cycle of cause and effect is known in Himalayan philosophy as Karma. The lifestyle at the resort includes a range of activities that address and enhance the Koshas, allowing you to explore the connectedness between nature, body, mind and spirit.

Pottery
A speciality of the surrounding area, pottery is both a functional art form and a therapeutic activity. Spending time playing with earth connects you further to the soil, allowing you to feel the synergy between your mind and the universe as the clay begins to take shape. Pottery at the resort can be enjoyed under the guidance of a local artisan.

Meditation

The great sages of Hindu and Buddhist philosophy originally travelled to the Himalayas to meditate and to find the means of achieving a world without disease and discontent. Practiced in the Himalayas over thousands of years, meditation is a technique that can lead to a state of inner quiet and harmony. Surrounded by the natural elements, you will find at the resort a peaceful setting in which to try the art of meditation. Guided sessions will take place every day, or you can try it for yourself – in the sound chambers, the meditation maze or any other tranquil spot.

Yoga

Yoga is both a physical and mental exercise. IHatha Yoga, a gentle form of exercise incorporating the Asanas (postures), Pranayam (breath) and meditation, encourages a deeper awareness of the breath and of the body, leading to improved posture, blood flow and inner balance.

Under the guidance of the yoga master, several yoga sessions will take place every day. Begin the morning with Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), leaving you feeling light and refreshed for the day ahead, and end with the Chandra Namaskar (Moon Salutation) or Yoga Nindra, to encourage complete relaxation and deep sleep. With scheduled and private sessions available throughout the day, there is something for everyone.

FLAVOURS

To maintain a balanced body and mind, we need to be nourished with the right type and the right amount of food. Meals are therefore a key aspect of the resort, and one of its highlights. Each meal is thoughtfully prepared remaining true to the natural ingredients, each with their own flavours, textures and aromas. We use fresh, seasonal and local produce, primarily sourced from our own organic farms, or from other local farmers. Meals complement the treatments and philosophy of the resort, leading you gently towards an enriching lifestyle.

MAKO’S ZEN
Zen Buddhist cuisine is based on the diet that was originally followed by monks in training. The five tastes (hot, sour, sweet, bitter and salty) are combined with the five colours (red, white, black, green, yellow), and five ways of cooking (fresh, boiling, roasting, steaming and frying) to satisfy one’s appetite in a disciplined and nutritious way. Creatively offering vegetarian Japanese cuisine that is light on sodium and other flavourings, a meal at Mako’s Zen is a feast for the senses and easy on the body.
