6 Spiritual Ways to Nourish your Soul in Bali

Maybe you've heard word around the street that Bali is a place for self-discovery and transformation. Let me be one of the millions of people to attest to that. If you've watched Eat, Pray, Love, then I'm sure you can catch a glimpse of the common thread that best describes Bali. Of course, we are all unique infinite beings that experience every moment in our own realities that's different for all of us. Yet, that common thread of uncovering peace within talked about by many people must mean there's something special in Bali.

I f*cking love Bali. There's this special energy about Bali that has brought my soul replenishment and a deeper understanding about the truth within me and within all of us. I can say that there was a lot of transformation and evolving during my journey in Bali. I really believe in taking time to do what makes your soul happy.

Do more of what makes you happy.

Everyday the Balinese people devote a morning and night ritual offering where they bless shrines honoring their Gods whether its in their home, work, business, random parts of the streets and jungles. EVERYWHERE. This positive energy is circulated on a daily basis! No wonder there's such a powerful energy out here that pulls people to live here and do their self-discovery journey in Bali.

Here are 6 ways I nourished my spirit in Bali:

1. MASSAGE

(Me to the left ; Bae to the right)

This is the ultimate self-care gift for your body! We were getting massages a few times a week. We went to this amazing spa in Ubud called Synergy Spa. We really made an effort to get our bodies nourished. It has so many health benefits for your body and spirit. It helps get rid of knots in your body, which knots are a sign of stuck emotions. Once that is released, life force energy will be able to flow through and you'll be more aligned with your higher self. Release those toxins in your body and get yourself a few massages! It's super good for your health of your physical body and energetic body.

Cost: 1-hour Balinese massage: 75k IDR, $5.50 USD. + tip = 100 IDR, $7.41.

1-hour Balinese Massage + 1-hour facial: 200k IDR, $14.78 USD, + tip = 250k IDR, $18.48 USD

2. YOGA PASS

I do this as an act of self-love. I practice Kundalini yoga to nourish my spirit. As we eat food to nourish our bodies, feeding the soul (your spirit) is just as important. We went to Ubud Yoga Center. The location was tucked on the side of a mountain covered with green lush jungles that had views of a river bed below. The vibes were the perfect place to practice. One of the reasons I went here was because they had the best class rates and offered a number of kundalini classes. We purchased the 5-class pack.

Cost: 5-class pack: 475 IDR, $35 USD, which is $7/class.

In the Los Angeles & Orange County, California area, it would cost on average about $15-$25/class. MAJOR DIFFERENCE, right? $7/class in Ubud, don't mind if I do!

3. ENERGY HEALING WORK

We need to bring more awareness about our spirit and energy in the Universe! Seriously though... there would be a huge positive shift for all of humanity if we all brought more attention to these dynamics. I went to Sami the Healer in Canggu, Bali. Every healer has their own unique way of healing. Sami's method of healing consisted of body work + spirit work. Him and his partner massage certain parts of the body and find blockages. It hurts so much when they unravel the blockage. And I was okay with that. I knew that the result after going through the pain was going to be beauty. After all, there's beauty in pain. And when you get through it, you feel so good! At the end of the body work, he goes over with you everything. Thank you Sami for blessing us with your healing energy!

Cost: 750k IDR, $55.44 USD, + tip, 800k IDR, $59.14 USD

4. VISIT A TEMPLE

Temples are an easy way to feel sacred, spiritual energy. Being in the presence of a temple has high vibrational energy. We had a 2.5 hour adventure from Ubud heading east to Pura Lempuyang to visit the Gates of Heaven. We rode up a mountain. It is the most highly regarded temple and said to be the most holiest temple in Bali. As you arrive to the gates, you are welcomed and blessed to purify and cleanse your presence. The energy was so beautiful and special. Highly recommend going. It's worth it. The energy was so beautiful and special. Surrounding yourself in all its sacredness made it all worthwhile.

Cost: You are going to have to rent a sarong for 10,000 IDR, $0.74 USD + give a small donation.Sarong rental: 10k IDR, $0.74 USD, + Donation 10k IDR, $0.74 USD

5. NATURE VISITS

Nature has an innate way of healing the spirit. So why not wander the soul to high vibrational jungles with trees filled with wisdom. Let spirit take its stroll in bliss. Some of the places I visited were the beaches like

- Dana Blue Point in Uluwatu

- The rice fields in Ubud

- Waterfalls

- Renting a moped to take you through the country side visiting a temple. Extra spirit-nourishment! You can also visit a waterfall

6. SOUND HEALING

Pyramids of Chi

This place is a dream! There are two giant pyramid buildings where each lie a mini auditorium with laying down mats. In the middle lie gongs, crystal bowls, drums, and other healing instruments. A woman named Dee was the one that gave us our sound healing. She has a voice of a motherly angel that also sang during the sound healing work. The way she works is connecting with the divine and allowing source to guide her with the healing instruments to use. It was powerful. It was just what my soul needed.

Cost: $25 USD

Ubud Yoga Center

They offered a group sound healing class on Wednesdays blessed by Devi Ma, who is also a Reiki Master, Intuitive Healer, with a voice of a white bright angel. She does some serious healing of cleansing the chakras and activating high vibrational energy within us by channeling in the angels, spirit guides, and ascended masters during the sound healing. I highly recommend this class!

Your soul will thank you so much for nurturing it with sound healing.

Cost: One-class 125k IDR to $9.24, unless you get the 5-class pack like me and it'll be $7/class.

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.
