Sitting here at Clear Cafe nourishing my mind with a little reading, I also listen to the conversations around me. The energy of Ubud is like no place I have ever experienced before. The people that are drawn to come here are unique in themselves, enhancing the energy of this magical place. I am sad to think that I have to leave in two days, and a little part of me wishes that I could stay here forever. Everyday I meet new and amazing people. We share our experiences, and tell our stories. Last night at the Bali Buddha I met Funae from Belgium, who has been traveling solo for 7 months now. She spent two months in Sumatra where she fell in love with the country, and found a new love. Tonight I met a couple from Montreal and we chatted about the wonderful massages Ubud has to offer. Earlier today I met a table tennis professional player from Hollywood. As I'm sitting here enjoying my raw vegan mudslide pie I hear conversations in many languages, many which I cannot recognize. People from all walks of life come to enjoy this wonderful town, and each bring a little something special to the mix.
If you stay in Ubud you have to eat at Clear Cafe and the Bali Buddha. Maybe attend a yoga class at Radiantly Alive or The Yoga Barn. Make sure to rent a motor bike and just take the day to get yourself lost around the many little side streets in Ubud. Today I did just that and it was fantastic! I absolutely love riding around and exploring, no more riding on the back of someone else's bike. :) At first I was terrified to face the Ubud traffic, and didn't think I would be able to do it. But as soon as I got on that bike and made the first turn all my fear was lifted with the rushing wind. I felt such a sense of freedom and accomplishment! I had done it!
Tomorrow I will rise with the sun and head out to Anand Asrham for a morning meditation and kundalini yoga class. Then maybe venture out on the bike through the rice fields. Who knows what the day could bring...I just know that I am so grateful to be in this place at this time in my life. I could not wish for anything more, especially because with every breath I take in Bali I feel more nourished in every aspect: body, mind, and soul.
