Tranquil Spa Graphics

Tranquil Spa Graphics (also known as Tranquil Serenity or Zen Tranquility) is an aesthetic that revolves around wellness, meditation, and of course, tranquility. This aesthetic can also be considered as a sub-genre to New Age due to them both sharing the same music-genre and focus on wellness/serenity. However, Tranquil Spa Graphics is mostly focused on calming visuals and Zen themes.

==History & Symbolism==

The history of Tranquil Spa Graphics themes can be traced all the way back to the 5th Century, where it had originated in India as Zen Buddhism. Although it had started in the 5th century, it didn’t actually gain much recognition until the 8th century, which was when it had been heavily formalized in China where it became most popular. During the 13th century, it eventually made its way from China over to Japan, and became a very common practice with samurai.
The history of the lotus flower spans back thousands of years ago, with it even being worshiped back in ancient Egypt. The symbolism of the lotus can vary from culture to culture, but in general, it is agreed to be a symbol for purity, strength, and rebirth due to the fact that lotuses can rise from mud without any stains.
==Music==
Music is a pretty prominent aspect of Tranquil Spa Graphics, as it can have a huge effect on one’s emotions. In most cases, the music tends to lack actual lyrics, and instead consists of nature ambiances such as waterfalls, wind, or chirping birds, and occasionally with soft instruments in the background such as the piano. This music is also known as New-Age music, and is mainly used for meditation and relaxation.
Here are a few examples of channels who make this genre of music:
*Soothing Relaxing
*P.P-SleepSerenity
*New Age Music Garden
* Meditation and Healing
*Yellow Brick Cinema
Although Tranquil Spa Graphics music mostly revolves around meditation, soothing ambiances, and rarely ever has actual lyrics, there are a few rare instances of full-length songs that also could still qualify as this category due to their slow and relaxed tempo, or sometimes even the incorporation of nature sound effects, a few examples include: 
*Garden in my room - Merril Bainbridge
*Sinking Stone - Souvenir
*Paradise - Phoebe Cates
==Visuals==
The visuals for Tranquil Spa Graphics feature elements that can be associated with serenity, wellness, and meditation. This usually consists of stuff such as flowers, water, bubbles, nature, bamboo, and stones. Lotus flowers in particular tend to be a pretty common motif as they symbolize purity, overcoming stress, and rebirth. (Read more about lotus flower symbolism here.) 
In more modern imagery, much like Cybercore and Helvetica Aqua Aero, it’s quite common to see CGI be used, which (depending on the context), can sometimes make it overlap into the early 2000s CGI genre. 
In some instances, visuals can sometimes even overlap with aesthetics such as Frutiger Eco due to the highly saturated and luscious depictions of nature/greenery, however, Tranquil Spa Graphics tends to be much more oriental and isn’t commonly associated with tech.
