The Samadhi Massage

Service Description

This Samādhi Massage is an exclusive 120 minutes session designed to bring you to a place of utter peacefulness, awareness and connectedness with mind/body.  Samādhi (समाधि) may be described as a state of meditative absorption whereby training, focusing, cleansing and calming the mind facilitates the nature of reality being finally known and seen just as it is. Whilst actual Samādhi requires long term practice and studying, this massage was designed to be a tool for self awareness of body and mind with the guidance of a massage and Yoga therapist.  This sensory mindful treatment starts with a process of yogic breathing to centre you in the room and allow the stresses of the day to begin to slip away. This is followed by a head to toe massage (including head and face) done with a warm, fragrant, grounding and nourishing Ayurvedic oil and Saffron based cream*. Throughout the massage you will be encouraged to connect with your breath to allow you to sink deeper into relaxation. Although sleep may happen, it is recommended that you try to remain aware of your body and your surroundings during this session. ​Your experience will complete with ten minutes of Shavasana posture, where you will be placed in a completely relaxing position and your eyes closed in a darkened environment. This is to allow for the experience of the last two hours to really sink in, be processed and assimilated. A gentle gong will be sounded to bring you back to the room.  *Please note all my oils are imported from India and only use natural ingredients.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice and 'no shows' will be charged at 100% of the treatment cost. This is because I may not be able to fill your appointment slot and still need to cover my costs. Please cancel as soon as possible if a foreseeable event is likely to prevent you from attending, for example, illness or adverse weather conditions. If you need to cancel your appointment at short notice, because of a long-term medical condition which varies from day to day, then we shall discuss the cost implications on a case by case basis. An invoice for any cancellation / ‘no show’ charges will be sent to you by email for payment by bank transfer within 7 days. Following a cancellation, payment must be received before any further massage bookings can be taken. It is important that our agreed appointment time and duration is adhered to. I appreciate that sometimes things happen and that you may arrive a little later or need to leave a bit earlier than planned. This is fine, but I cannot make up the missed time by overrunning or adding time to subsequent appointments.
