From the moment you step into the stone-floored lobby of the Six Senses Kyoto, the din of the city all but disappears.
I sat cross-legged on the tatami floor of Kyoto’s Shunkoin temple, desperately trying to locate my tailbone. Reverend Takafumi Kawakami, the black-robed Zen priest seated in front of me, instructed me to push my breath against it with my stomach and pay attention to the texture , temperature , and aroma of the air flowing through my lungs. But I struggled.
To combat some of the fatigue, Fukuda suggested the signature Ah-Un treatment. It had me paint an ensō circle—a Zen symbol of absolute enlightenment—with black ink on washi paper to clear my mind, and followed with a long-stroked oil massage and a chakra-balancing tuning fork running down my spine.
