Bali, I had no idea what you had in store for me but, again, I am so grateful and happy that I listened to my guidance and came here. In January 2016 I needed some sunshine and because three friends of mine (one Finnish, one English-Italian and one American) happened to be in Indonesia, I bought flights to Bali for a short 11-day trip. I stayed in Ubud for 1 night, 2 nights in Gili Trawangan, 6 nights in Lombok and two nights in Kuta, Bali before the flight back home. Fell in love with Ubud so I knew that I wanted to go back there at least. So I booked 9 nights in a beautiful place called Bije Sari Bisma, where I had a room in the second floor with a shower and a bath, big room and enough space to dance and a private balcony. Breakfast was really nice, I had my version of it, an omelette without sausages but a vegetarian version, small fruit salad and a fruit juice (pineapple or watermelon). Then I would either swim in the pool, with or without a mermaid tail - I wanted to practice swimming so I would know how to teach it later, and started creating also mermaid yoga and other exercises before swimming with one (at least kids need to strengthen some muscles beforehand) - stretch, yoga or dance in my room or balcony while listening to music, watch royal "history" - I feel like the series and movies these days are better history lessons than the bullshit that the countries that won had written - in France in the 1500s (The Reign, about the marriage of the Queen of Scotland and the crown prince of France), read a book by Caroline Myss called Anatomy of Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing (BIG thumbs up, explains how not living in harmony with your soul is slowly killing you and how to heal yourself by making the changes necessary) and other spiritual stuff I follow and wrote down thoughts and ideas that came to mind I felt like writing down.
Near the place I was staying at I found a restaurant called Black Pearl (pirates in Indonesia also ;) but that I knew already). A beautiful place with lovely art and I loved the food also, I ate there many times. Monkey forest was also close and the hotel manager took me there with his scooter. I had my camera with me and got some pretty cool videos of the monkeys. There were also many statues that I took pictures of. The art is just so interesting here, based on the statues I'd say that the history of this country is more than fascinating. Dragons, weird looking god-like beings.. I loved being in a forest, even though there were a lot of tourists.. I had a moment with a tree also while watching monkeys "fight" and shout to each other, felt the need of stretching there and I find it very soothing to stretch against trees. I feel that the energy in Bali is somewhat dark, and I hear that there's a lot of black magic here. After the monkey forest I walked back and saw coconuts for sale and I bought one and sat down to drink it there. Was talking to a local guy who was visiting his friend there and he told me about a gallery that had an event the next day where artists were drawing a naked model. Earlier in April I posted on my Instagram a picture of a naked woman and wrote that being a naked model is on my bucket list and I figured well that manifested quickly. I went to the event, but even though I prepared myself to do that, I didn't offer my nudity, only drew the Russian woman that modelled for us. She did maybe six to ten different postures, all about 10 to 20 minutes. But next time....maybe.
I had a fish treatment where the fish ate my dead skin and it felt funny, and I took a full body massage, where the man massaging me placed the towel on my bum many times, just to make sure it's properly placed... Ha ha, he just wanted to see my ass over and over again. Also the massage was supposed to be tension releasing and mostly from the back and neck area, but he spent almost the whole hour massaging my legs and thighs.. Yeah well, at some point I reminded him that I thought this was a back massage and he ended up massaging over an hour, though first he offered that I could buy an extra 30 minutes if I wanted. I told him that I'm sorry but I didn't get what I was sold and he continued a bit. Two days ago I had a much better massage here in Canggu, where I've now been since last Sunday. My friend Laura who organised two yoga retreats in a beautiful villa (last week and next week), wanted to offer me a massage for a thank you for one mermaid tail that I wanted her to have. So Laura, her assistant Amy and I went to have massages and it was sooo good. The lady (thank god) massaged my bum quite a bit but it felt actually really good. She really knew what she was doing. And she was good with the back too, and legs, thighs, arms etc. The table wasn't so good and I ended up hurting my neck, but that's okay, it's getting better after each stretch (though it hurts a lot at times..)
I don't remember what was it that I asked first, but both of these beautiful souls have had some interesting experiences with the spirit realm. Especially Laura, her dreams, astral travel and out of body experiences since childhood were amazing, but scary, and she never told anyone about them because she was scared what others might think or say. She said that she feels if some energy is in the room and can even hear their thoughts. Her local boyfriend too had some interesting experiences, for example he had a dream where he'd fight with an angel. And because of my interest in all these things including past lives, I've read and heard many stories, and I feel that my intuition gives me insight on what these might mean or be. Also I'm so happy that I met Amy, another soul sister for life. She has an amazing life story, horrible but also beautiful, and her history with fashion industry in Paris and vision for the future matches mine so I know for certain we are going to create something together. She's going to move to Morocco that just became my next go-to. There's black magic there as well and the rich-poor gap is huuuge, so yet another country that needs more love and light.
Tried surfing the other day, sunset surf. Was bad. It's really not my thing, at all. Not yet at least, not here. But everyday I do yoga and exercise in the pool, if there's one around. Here in Bali yes, but next week I fly back to Australia, there won't be pools no more. Oh wait, sorry I change my energy, because I actually want to manifest a place to teach mermaid swimming at. Hoping to find a hotel or other place that would be interested in hosting screaming and laughing girls a few hours a week. Before going back to Byron though I'm going to visit Noosa. For a few days. I heard it's beautiful too. Can't wait to get back now hah, it's funny how I'm excited for everything I decide to do. The places I go do their magic, and I'm ready for yet another chapter. Sometimes I feel that I don't have enough time to reflect on my journey, on all the things I've seen, done, experienced, thought and learned during this trip, these past few years or even my whole life, how far I've come from where I was to where I now am.. But then I remember that I have a choice every second to do that if I wish to, and know that I'll do that when I feel like doing it, that I don't have to make me do it or even think about it. And my subconscious knows everything that has ever happened and gives me information by intuition when I need it.
Full moon was beautiful, energetically intense though, for it was in Scorpio. Before that the north and the south nodes shifted from Pisces and Virgo to Aquarius and Leo for the next 18 months, so a lot of big changes in the energy world. I didn't sleep much during that time and woke up early to do some breathing and stretching. It's not easy being an open channel for my body feels the outside tension whenever there is someone else in the room that has lower energy. But what can I do, other than do what I can to release it from my body all over again. Amy and I went to look for temples but they were all locked so we ended up going to the beach and did some yoga and lied down looking at the stars. Was a beautiful moment. After that we had dinner and went back to the villa. One night I had two very weird dreams, as if they were either memories of past lives or actually happening in a parallel universe. In one I figured that a man and a witch-like older woman are trying to kill me and my sister (or friend) and I escaped and in the other I felt like a centaur is going to kill a beautiful man I knew I knew from somewhere the second our eyes met. Laura said that maybe that was happening NOW and he called me because he was scared. I don't know.. Just googled centaur and they were creatures in greek mythology. The man also looked like a greek god, his hair was long and blonde and eyes were blue (doesn't seem greek to me heh, but I think they once looked like that). Greece and greek mythology has always interested me, so I feel that there's definitely something for me regarding my soul's past. I want to go back there as well, with this new point of view.
I didn't know how much I love doing yoga with someone else, for I've done it by myself only except for a few lessons here and there, before I came here and we shared a flow with Laura. She did her own flow, I did mine, but it was amazing and very inspiring. The energy was wild and free with a free spirited music (I need to get spotify so I can follow both of the girls' playlists), and the villa had pillars that I used a lot! Loved them. They were like trees, but straight ones, and I used them for support and massage at the same time. When everyone else went to bed, my flow continued and when I went in my room, it continued with ideas and detailed visions for my future businesses so I took a pen and started writing. I love flows like that, but they don't come that often. At least when I'm not alone. I'm lucky though to have had time to be by myself a lot in the past two years. I love it. Laura asked me if I wanted to be her assistant in Septembers retreat, but it depends if I have earned enough money to fly here again. And maybe back to aus once again before going home for father's day. Now I've missed out on one father's day and one mother's day that's today. I don't want to miss another one. Not in a row at least. And next winter I want to go to Lapland. Never been there so it's about time. Maybe I organise a retreat there, we'll see! 8)
Yesterday I moved out of the villa and to a dorm in a beach house. Already met two of my roommates (Australian and Danish), both young and vegan and we went for a dinner in a vegetarian restaurant. It was really good but expensive compared to prices here, still very cheap compared to Finland (80.000 rupees so 8 AUD and maybe 5e?). The Shady Shack, lovely place outdoors, packed with people. We were so tired and indecisive when we saw the menu, that we barely understood what we read. All of the dishes sounded so good but we ended up ordering the same one, protein bowl. Probably going back there another time. I just had breakfast at the beach house, granola with dragonfruit, banana, papaya and mango and now I feel like coffee. And then I jump in the pool for a swim. Bye for now.
AND happy mother's day <3
