Bali is a small island in Indonesia which is often called The Island Of Thousands Temples, The Island of Gods, and Bali Dwipa. Balinese culture was strongly influenced by Indian, Chinese, and particularly Hindu culture, around the 1st century AD. The name Bali Dwipa (“Bali Island”) has been discovered on various inscriptions, including the Blanjong pillar inscription written by Sri Kesari Warmadewa in 914 AD that mentions “Walidwipa”.

Bali is a popular holiday destination place thanks to its culture, natural resources and very positive vibrations that allow you to relax, heal, and improve spiritual competence. Thanks to its popularity Bali is visited by millions of tourists from all over the world every year and most of them always return to Bali for various reasons like feeling the positive vibrations, meeting friendly and modest people, or to enjoy nature and just relax while recharging positive energy. That’s why Bali won the Best Destination of the World award on Trip Advisor and on other sites about traveling.

The inner strength of Bali cannot be separated from its particular history and with a decidedly spiritual imprint. The island of Bali is predominantly Hindu which includes devotional services, picturesque offerings and rituals of gratitude and thanksgiving to the divinity. Ubud is perhaps one of the most popular places in Bali where culture, art, spirituality and history refer to the sacred masters of the past. That’s why it’s the best place to regenerate, relax, recharge and retire.

Ubud comes from ubad which means “medicine”. At the time of Maharsi Markandeva, Ubud’s nature already possessed a curative vibration for all those who were subjected  to various illness. When Maharsi Markandeva and all his troops from Java suffered a mysterious illness, they performed a complete healing ritual of offerings to Ubud that eventually did the miracle and saved the soldiers, although some remained victims of the strange illness. There are various reasons and stories related to Ubud that makes it different from all other places in Bali. But in general the island transmits strong power to those who decide to improve their spiritual strength

Ubud is also very popular for yoga and meditation. We are not talking about a simple lifestyle, but the use of practices to connect our inner self to our spirit. These practices are the holistic package for a happy life. They provide techniques for uniting body, mind and breath and connecting us with the core of our inner being – the spiritual aspect of our lives.

The mind often oscillates between the past and future, causing worry and anticipation. Desires, fear, cravings, aversions are pitfalls for the mind. To abandon these conflicts, it is essential to bring the mind back to the present moment.

Yoga helps to dispel accumulated stress and negative feelings from the mind. Pranayamas bring peace to the agitated mind. With the regular practice of various yoga positions, we can see clarity emerge, increase the balance and flexibility of the body while becoming healthier, stronger and more attentive. “For me, spirituality is about living a happy life here and now, responding to situations instead of reacting against them, taking a step back and reconnecting to my ego to find new answers to situations that recur. And that’s exactly what I get from these practices!”

Yoga and meditation have proved to be a powerful combination and many enthusiasts love to complete their routine with this last one. When the tottering body stabilizes and the disturbed mind reaches calm, meditating we can reach a great sense of relax. Spirituality gives us the inner strength to face difficult situations and keep a smile. Rooted in the ego, inner peace is projected to the outside, making us human beings better, more compassionate, full of love and ready to share.
Yoga and meditation clear every single level of consciousness, leaving us refreshed and regenerated. Do you recognize that something deep does not change? Deepen the practice of yoga and elevate your spirit.

Spirituality is certainly not a game, it is not a question of sitting down and doing things, but of revisiting the truth about ourselves.
