Spas at Mandarin Oriental to Launch Music
Programme on Global Wellness Day
(07/06/23)
The Spas at Mandarin Oriental are set to
harness the transformative energy of music with a Wellness Music
Programme.
Set to debut across the group on Global Wellness
Day on 10 June 2023, the programme draws inspiration from ancient
Oriental philosophies and is designed to nurture
guests and deliver a deep sense of renewal.
To create the
programme the group collaborated with MusicStyling, a network of
world-renowned ambient composers. The carefully curated
selections have drawn on global musicians, musical experts, and
themes from historical philosophical texts to give further space
for healing.
The fice playlists can be enjoyed in the relaxation
areas and can be personally tailored and provided to guests
for their enjoyment after their visit.
- Awaken - Spring: Jue relates to Wood and traditionally associates with the
liver
and gallbladder, representing the season of spring and the energy
of youth and growth. This series of music is composed of ancient
verticals and bamboo flute. The Jue sound is clear, melodious and deep
to provide a gentle energy boost and deep sense of renewal.
- Bloom - Summer: Zhi relates to
fire and associates with the heart and small
intestine, representing the season of summer that provides
warmth, and the capacity of love, and enables us to mature and blossom. This series of music uses the guqin instrument in
combination with other silk string instruments. The Zhi sound is
distinct, flowing, soothing and melodious designed to relax and revitalise the body and open the heart.
- Flourish - Indian Summer: Gong relates to
earth and associates with the stomach and
spleen, representing late summer season providing us the ability
to nurture ourselves and others. This series of music is composed
of the gong combined with xun and sheng. The gong sound is
equivalent to ‘1’ in Chinese musical notation designed to stabilise emotions, release stress and recenter the body and mind.
- Release - Autumn: Shang relates to
metal and associates with the lung and large
Intestine, representing the autumn season providing our
capacity to look at what lies beyond ourselves and the power to let go. This series of music is composed of metal instruments such
as chimes and singing bowls. The Shang sound is deep, sonorous,
bright, and powerful, providing a deep exhalation to let go and
restore harmony in the body and mind.
- Reflect - Winter: Yu relates to water and associates with the
kidney and bladder,
representing the winter season providing us with adaptability and
willpower. This series of music is composed of a combination of
struck instruments and free reed pipes. The Yu sound is graceful,
quiet, soft, gentle but warm, like the slight waves of water
designed to provide a time to pause and gather inner strength.
“Caring for mind, body and spirit is the cornerstone
of Mandarin Oriental’s spa and wellness philosophy,” said Jeremy
McCarthy Group Director of Spa and Wellness. “Our Global Wellness
Music Programme is designed to create the right healing atmosphere
for our holistic spa and wellness services. Fans
