I really love being on the road, it’s one of the best things I do. It connects me to Source and Presence. It activates my masculine energy; I get clear, and a lot of insights come through. I feel free; it really feels exquisite.
Coming to Sebatu temple was really interesting, it’s a very beautiful temple with very beautiful energy. I feel them more strongly now than I did when I was here last time, 6 summers ago, but I don’t really know if that’s true, but it’s how it felt. I don’t remember noticing the stillness and the silence this well. I do remember the first time I came, I could kind of feel like I was being greeted by the nature spirits, forest entities. So I could feel the vibrancy of the place back then. Now I could feel the holiness and the stillness much more, the potency of that. In the waterfall, there was such a strong release in the body. I think I also had those six years ago, but it wasn’t as clear to me back then what all the shaking was about, the fascia release.
There’s always a contraction, hesitation that comes up when I’m sharing myself, and it’s interesting because I really want to share things, and I would really like people to be interested in some of the things that I have to say. And then there’s this hesitation around it, and then I start to talk about it. But on one hand I don’t want to share about my hesitations, and on the other hand I feel like I kind of need to, and then I think, yeah, but who’s really interested in my insecurities? I guess on some level I know that some people might be interested about that, because I do know for myself how it can be interesting to listen to people when they’re a bit vulnerable, and open up about where they feel small, or frozen, or helpless. When people drop all their masks and are not performing—that is, if they want to be honest.
After saying that, and kind of letting it land, I noticed that I’d love to share with people the beauty of the places that I go to, like the beautiful energy of Sebatu. And at the same time, I’m hesitant because it’s a place that I hope will not become a tourist destination, because it’s really sacred. Unfortunately, that may be too late already—judging by the people I see coming here now.
I’d love to share more about my journeys—what happens on the road. There was an impulse to do that years ago—and it would have been a good idea. And I didn’t—I hesitated. So we’ll just have to start now. Maybe a bit late, but still.
For me, the Balinese temples are by far the most tranquil ones. I’m not sure if I want to say powerful—they are powerful, but what stands out is how peaceful they are, when it comes to peace and stillness, and the overall positive nature of the temples. Temples in Egypt are very powerful, as in there is so much energy, one can feel physical stones vibrate—and then the body is vibrating for up to 24 hours after. They often feel very fiery but more so electric. But there can also be a lot of distortion there. Graves where it’s clear that the pharaohs were on the negative path. So that kind of power—power for power’s sake—activation, but not necessarily peace or balance, like it’s here in Bali—so it does not always land beautifully. Here there is always so much peace, beauty and stillness—and the statues feel so alive. Literally, you look at it, and you see it’s alive—like nature is.
