A new month, a new life highlight. My life highlight no4.

Welcome back to Oceans Bliss Portal! Today, I want to share with you a story about my life in Bali, Indonesia during my late twenties, where I created a business for myself in health and wellness. 

After ten years of studying, exploring and discovering new experiences in different countries, I developed a guide that focused on healing treatments and implemented it into several spas across the island. The guide was an authentic reflection of myself and my passion for health and wellness.  I was extremely proud to share it with others.

One of my favourite spas was nestled in the beautiful rice patty fields of Ubud. I had the privilege of working in an open wooden bale surrounded by terraced rice
patty fields and lush jungle. The bale was designed in modern Bali style, with many comfy lounge pillows and floor mats. As the gentle warm breeze blew through the area, the white curtains would gently sway, allowing me to soak in the magnificent jungle scenery.

To reach this secret bale, you had to stroll through the back courtyards of the boutique hotel and go past an infinity pool that offered breathtaking views of the rice paddy fields. After descending down the rock steps into the fields, a short path would lead you to the bale. The area was surrounded by lush greenery and you could hear the gentle rush of a small waterfall. The air was filled with the sweet scent of tropical flowers such as frangipani, plumeria, and jasmine, which added to the dreamy experience. It was my secret Balinese garden with palpable pure energy.

Grey bush monkeys would come and watch me while I gave treatments to clients, but one day, a monkey up in a tree caught my eye, and we stared at each other for a long time. His golden eyes were curious, big and bright, and we just stared at each other for what felt like an eternity. The connection with that animal in that space and the energy it created between us is something I will never forget.

The purity of raw, organic nature resonated deeply with my soul. During my time in Bali my connection with my spirit deepened and I developed a profound understanding of the energy present in nature and my desire to understand and preserve this energy. I taught myself how to access this ancient energy for my treatments, which became the cornerstone of my business. And one of my key missions is bliss-preservation, to preserve this energy for the future. 

Everything is energy, and different cultures have different names for it, in Bali, they refer to it as ‘Prana’. During my travels, I developed a keen interest in learning about the various ways in which cultures perceive and express their awareness of energy. 

In Japan it’s called ‘Ki’, in Hawaii, they call it ‘Mana’, and in China, it’s known as ‘Chi’… I’ve also heard scientists refer to it as ‘bioelectromagnetic energy’.

No matter what it is called, one thing is certain – energy is alive and present in all forms of life. We can learn to become aware of this energy through developing our consciousness of it, which is a crucial step towards understanding and harnessing its beautiful power.
