Pass the Banyan trees, cross the lotus pond, enjoy the warm breeze and listen to the waves breaking on the shore. Serenity.
You just entered a place where everything Bali is about is right there, surrounding you.
And still – there is even more. Whatever trip you take, there is always this journey to the most unknown: your mind.
Like your mind that has it’s secrets, this place provides them, too. Take a look, beneath the trees, inhaling the frangipani scent and moving away from the beach. Hidden in between guest villas with their „aling-aling“ is an old Balinese temple, that was there way before the resort took shape. Although this entire place has a scent of magic, the temple may open another path, an unseen one: your glimpse into timelessness. If you manage to do this step, well…you may simply get in synch with your brain, as it perceives the present moment. It is us who make up the stories of future and past – the brain itself is always working in the here and now.
You only need a few moments to quietly inhale, exhale, take in the special atmosphere and let everything go.
The only question is:
Would you let it happen and where would you want to go?
Here is a suggestion, as this is an unusual place for most of us in daily lives: try and consciously follow your focus.
We have many ideas coming up whenever we hear the word „hypnosis“ – but actually we hypnotise ourselves moment by moment focusing on things, sounds, people, memories. Like the waves beneath you at the shore: one by one, again and again and again….
But as „energy goes where attention flows“ it is worth embarking on this journey and consciously realising where your mind is taking you. At least for a few moments a day.
The frangipani scent – what does it remind me of?
The waves at the beach – what do I long for?
The temple at sunrise or in the evening with nearly no one around: can I just be there and stand still for a moment? Again and again and again….
