The Miracle of Bali

A Bali experience…

How does one begin to describe the miracle called Bali?

My seven-day retreat for a tangible experience of the divine started with a visit to Tirta Empul, which is a holy spring water temple. Each spout has a different symbolism and meaning. The first spout cleansing and purifying of the aura, then separate spouts for each of the chakras, then love, gratitude, masculinity, femininity, and an amazing blast of water called the royal flush. As cool holy water washed over my body I felt all impurities being washed away being replaced with pure love leaving me clean, clear and rejuvenated. I experienced meditating at Gunung Kawi, Bali’s 11th century temple of royal tombs carved in stone cliffs. As I took the 210 steps down into the temple I could feel the energy building inside of my body vibrating reaching the base of the temple. Meditating in front of the carved tombs was extremely powerful with visions, colors and intuitive messages coming through me.

Day two was with a renowned Balinese master healer. I felt his serge of energy down my spine as he explored certain points on my body with his physical touch and unseen abilities. I felt different areas of my body respond in pain. He shared with me information regarding my pancreas. “No more sugar” he tells me and off he goes to his garden and comes back with herbs for me to eat. Not the best tasting, but miraculously when he retested the pain was gone!!! He then turns and looks at me …… no …… he looks through me and tells me to let go of my stubbornness!!! Then shares that my complaining isn’t supporting me either. I had nowhere to go, as I knew exactly what he was talking about.

I am in awe of the High Priestesses’ from days three and four. Clearing out all that no longer serves to permit more light and love to come in was life changing. One of the High Priestesses channeled Quan Yin, the bodhisattva associated with compassion as she danced around each of us as we meditated. Her movements were so ethereally graceful. I felt Spirit talking to me through her. “Ok, I am ready and willing to hear you.” I thought, I am truly sorry for all the times Spirit has spoken to me through others and I chose not to listen to the messages. Another High Priestess’ pure chant brought such a high vibration as she poured Holy water on me. My body literally vibrated releasing what felt like years of impurities. In meditation she spent moments with each person offering her angelic touch in the silence. Words alone cannot express the depth and purity of knowing my vibration had shifted, love and more love emanating through every cell of my being. I felt such a calmness throughout my body, so serene.

In the next venture of my tangible connections with the divine, I found myself in a heavenly float, feeling light and one with myself, as the magic of sound healers nourished my soul. So it was no accident when in the sound energy and rebirthing pool exercise my heart cracked open in an instant, wider than I’ve ever felt. Feeling the gap, that no-thing place. Nothing mattered. Pure bliss.

The journey and those I shared it with are forever in my heart. I feel love and joy for Bali as she held me during this experience. I felt I found a home.

I have learned that we are always held in the Divine energy. And everything happens in Divine order. We are not broken and do not need fixing! All the answers are within. My greatest learning was taking responsibility in finding that “I” was in my own way. My greatest gift is knowing that “I” have all that I need to step into my brilliance!
