Based in Bali

I know I know...I still need to write a practical guide to Bali as well as update my photos including captions on Flickr...I've been floating in a vortex of magical synchronicities lately and have fallen behind on my writing and connecting.

Since climbing Batur things really ramped up. Actually, what's been happening is life has become seamless. One thing gracefully flowing into another without effort.  I had to move homestays because I wasn't able to stay in the one I was in for as long as I needed to.  I moved into one that is in town and much much cheaper and just as nice.  Some friends of mine where already staying there so it already felt like home.

Since moving here, I met a traditional Balinese healer by the name of Dewa.  This man IS a miracle and empty vessel that transmits perfect Life Force vibrations.  Since seeing him I now have feeling and strength in both my legs and I feel full of energy and love.  The energy he has is very palpable and feels like cool water rushing through my body cleansing and revitalizing me.  I can actually FEEL again!!!!!  Between Dewa, yoga, raw food, great friends and well Bali's special energy and warmth I'm feeling quite whole again.  There is still work to be done but I'm making progress every day.

Meeting Dewa has been a blessing.  Not only is he healing me, he's teaching me how to heal myself and control the energy.  Also, because our relationship has been really easy and smooth (we actually new one another from a past life) we are talking about opening a healing centre together.  He has land just outside of Ubud, near a very sacred river.  Healing is best practiced when in connection with nature  so it's perfect.

Many people come to Bali, specifically Ubud for healing.  However because the healers here are powerful and the energy of the land intense itself, most westerners do not know how to integrate the healing into their daily lives.  The often get energetically opened up and then sent on their way often feeling confused and lost.  This can be very dangerous for those who either don't work with energy or who are new to it.

Because I've done quite a bit of work in this field I've been helping others understand what is happening to them and how to integrate it.  Because there are many people in this situation, I've decided to start a support group to help people navigate their spiritual paths.  I've already started a meditation group within the homestay and I'm now looking for space to run a support group.  In the near future, I will be organizing ceremonies and trips to holy springs with Dewa and other people to help them heal.  In a way it's bridging a gap between Eastern healing and Western practices.

So, I'm off to Singapore tomorrow for a couple of days so I can renew my Indonesian Visa for 6 months.  I'm also going to start learning to speak Indonesian so I can work with both locals and Westerners.  I'm not sure where this is all going and I don't really need to.  Everything is effortlessly unfolding as it should and without much planning. I'm just following along where I'm being led to.  I've finally decided to fully show up in my life and I feel fantastic!

More to come...

Quick Check In

I was suppose to fly to Bangkok on March 25th.  Quite a lot has transpired in that time.  For one, I'm still in Ubud, Bali and I have no idea how long I will be here.  It looks like my itinerary is significantly going to change. However, I'm just not sure what that will look like right now.

I'm not going to stay to much as to why I'm still here. One of the reasons is my body said "NO" to moving on.  I will say that sometimes Life put's me in the places I need to be in rather than the places I want to be in.  Not to say I don't want to be in Bali right now, it's a very easy place to be, however, I didn't think my trip would take a sharp right turn.

I'm safe, and comfortable and doing ok.  Sorry to be so elusive right now.  It will take me a while to write what's happening.  Plus I'm still writing my "practical guide to Ubud".

I'm ok, and it's all good.

Thanks for your patience!!

What's Up???

I was on my way to yoga today and rolled my ankle.  Ubud's sidewalks, when there is one, are not the most even, flat surfaces, and there are usually 2x3 drainage grates every 10 feet that one can easily get stuck in if your not watching where your going.  I was in a hurry for my class and caught a loose stone off the curb.

I've been keeping it elevated and staying off of it, however I can't ice it as ice doesn't stand a chance in 100 degree heat (no exaggeration with the heat).  It is feeling a bit better but still can't put to much pressure on it for long. So I may be held up in Bali for a while.  I'm doing alright and the family I'm staying with is great.

Then I just found out that my safari in Africa has been canceled due to unspecified reasons...

Ohh Universe....what are you up to???
