Bali The Mentor

Here I am in Bali and recovering from a week of intense training to hold my centre no matter what invisible "forces" influence my mind and heart.

Bali, I have found, is full of mischief and wonder - the people live within an inner zone of working with the nature spirits - both negative and positive spirits. They are adept at side stepping the negative by making daily offerings to small household shrines. The "priests" also know how to direct mischievous energy towards unsuspecting humans to guide the results they want.

This skill is usually used to the good of all - and seldom in a negative way, however that too is part of the mix here as with everywhere.

We have stayed with wonderful, generous friends in different parts of Bali - we have found special people who love the "lessons" given by the spirit ambience surrounding everything. One's higher spirit can love this dance with the nature spirits who register any inner conflict and magnify one's hidden unconscious hesitations until they "pop" - and release.

THIS is the essence of Bali - healing.

It has been a great privilege to travel with my partner who patiently held the space, organised the details and survived driving through back-street Balinese villages during major annual street celebrations and lived to tell the tale.

Bali could be our home for some time - it holds secret doors to deep bliss, heavenly heart energy and primordial community bonding. Something western culture seems to have accidentally lost during its voracious rush towards financial wealth.
