As October takes centre stage, I can’t help but reflect on the significance of this month in my life. It’s a time when I celebrate the profound and beautiful energy of the  spiritual world that surrounds us. It’s a month that holds a special place in my heart, as it marks a turning point in my spiritual journey, a transformation so profound, it reshaped the very lens through which I perceive existence. Today, I want to share with you my tenth life highlight that forever changed my connection to the world around me.

Welcome back to Oceans Bliss Portal –  For years, my life quest was to find both God and happiness. I dove deep into the study of religion and culture as I traveled around the world, hoping to find divine meaning, a sense of purpose and to ignite my inner bliss. My journey took me to far-away places, but little did I know that the most profound revelation awaited me in a humble hut on a Balinese beach. 

At the age of 24, I found myself on the beautiful shores of Bali. My first home on Bali Island was a modest hut, it did not have running water, electricity, or even a kitchen. My local friends, Nerni and Wayan, were Balinese Hindus who generously allowed me to stay in this hut in exchange for buying food and drinks from their warung. When I chose this place to stay, I had no idea that this beach held a unique reputation among the Balinese people —it was known as the “beach of the spirits” in Balinese, a term that doesn’t translate easily into English but signifies in Hindu meaning, a place where the spirits of the departed find their rest.

As I settled into my new beachfront hut, I spent countless nights under the stars talking with Wayan. He was from this spiritually charged beach, but Wayan was no ordinary man, he was the head of his village. Our conversations revealed something truly magical—we both shared the ability to see beyond the physical realm, the everyday world. Wayan, who I found out over time was the local shaman, decided to share his knowledge and wisdom with me, and I eagerly immersed myself in the Balinese way of life. It was here, by the beach with Wayan that I finally felt like I had found a place where I could truly be myself.

My days were filled with visits to temples, witnessing sacred ceremonies, and participating in dancing rituals. But it was during the quiet hours of the night, while sitting on the beach with Wayan, that I truly delved into the spirit world. He introduced me to the intricacies of Hinduism, and while we didn’t always see eye to eye on matters of God, we found common ground in our shared understanding of the spiritual realm. With his wisdom and in the simplicity of a life without electricity and constant hustle, I spent many hours at dusk and dawn activating my bliss lens.

As I celebrate the arrival of October and the spirit it carries, I felt compelled to share my Bali treasure that brought me to this point in my sparkly, intuitive superpowered life. My time on the beach of the spirits in Bali, my deep connections with Wayan, and the divine revelations I experienced over my 10 years in Bali were all instrumental in shaping my spiritual beliefs and opening my bliss lens.
