Private Yoga and Watsu with Bellinda Mann

Taken from:

http://queenofretreats.com/five-elements-a-health-wellness-retreat-in-bali/

..................................................

The days that followed were a lovely flow of holistic sessions ranging from massages, beauty treatments, yoga and meditation to sacred arts (such as Aikido and Somatic Therapy) and (the best) a watsu water massage – each one designed in a careful sequence, said Janur, to help me let go a little more each time.

Highlights included a private session with Made, a talented yoga teacher who has developed his own style of Tantra Healing yoga. His skill in perceiving my energy levels and where I was ‘at’ put me at ease straight away, and we began with a meditation before commencing yoga. He noticed the slight scoliosis in my back, and we worked on yoga postures and stretches to help release and then strengthen certain areas along my spine. He even incorporated massage in the session, using a combination of Thai and Shiatsu.

It was the prefect prelude to my watsu, a water healing massage that, the therapist explained, was especially designed to help you let go. A watsu can bring up old traumas, emotions or just make you feel decadently free – as was the case in my experience. It was easily one of the most beautiful healing experiences I’ve ever had...............

Healing Massage Testimony, by Shelly.

Shelly J. Darcy: 

October 13 

"Truly appreciated your Zen Thai Shiatsu Massage. I truly felt your true practice of the art of healing, your compassionate intent of the healer. I read about Thai Massage, "It is a combination of influences from Indian, Chinese, Southeast Asian cultural spheres and traditions of medicine. The Buddhist spiritual practices associated with Thai massage cultivate humility, awareness, and concentration. This compassionate state of being is termed "Metta", which usually translates as "loving kindness"."This is not easy job at all, this may only true from people who has sincere willingness to help and kindness.

THUMBS UP to you Made Agus Wirayasa."

Zen Thai Shiatsu

What is Zenthai Shiatsu ?
Zenthai draws from the respected healing traditions of Zen Shiatsu and Traditional Thai Massage whilst using proven Osteopathic techniques.  Mindfulness and heart delivery are highly emphasised throughout the experience.
The Yoga Therapy and Osteopathic techniques which also are heavily emphasised within the program allow the practitioner another set of effective tools for their healing practice.
Zen Shiatsu (literally meaning ‘finger pressure’) was founded by Shizuto Masunaga over 100 years ago. Based around the Chinese Meridian System it is an in-depth healing art of how we can utilize Ki (life-force) to keep our bodies and minds in a state of equilibrium.
Our day-to-day interaction with our internal and external environment can create blockages or leave deficiencies.  Zen Shiatsu is based around using Ki and the principles of Yin-Yang to sustain a balanced state that leave us vitalized, alive and free beings.
TTM (Traditional Thai Massage) is an ancient form of healing that draws its roots from India in the time of the Buddha (776 BC). Performed in a meditative, pure state it is a magical dance that involves stretching and aligning of the energetic and structural body.  Similar to yoga it draws its roots from the most ancient healing practice of Aruyveda and often leaves clients with a renewed vigour and clarity.
Mindful touch offers an experience like no other. Within it are the seeds for deep transformation and awakening..this is healing.  Memories and traumas stored within the body are able to be accessed to allow the return of freedom back to our energetic and structural bodies.

“Life is energy. Without it nothing moves… nothing rests. Without energy, matter is inanimate. When we see energy we are seeing spirit. Each spirit is a manifestation of the Great Spirit, Tao.??  Therefore, we must not make negative judgements about anyone. Instead we must marvel at the creativity of God, or Tao.
As Oriental Medicine practitioners, our only desire is to facilitate the movement of energy, with ourselves and each person we encounter – to bring forth our own inner being, as well as the inner being of those around us. By acquiring this wonderful knowledge, we have it in our power to serve such a purpose: to move energy in the direction in which it already wants to go. What a great way to live.”
Ohashi

A paradise Mads couldn’t leave (Kim Nightingale)

They warn me it will be cold, but I am warmed by Sanskrit chanting and the ringing of a small bell. That does not last – it is cold, yet walking back to my room in my sopping wet sarong, I feel energized, renewed and ready for whatever comes next. What comes next is a handsome, young, yoga instructor with the posture of a marine who takes me through a flowing sequence.

The private session ends with him guiding my limbs through a Tai Chi-style stretch that throws me into bliss, so of course I laugh when he says, ‘Now time for relaxation.’ A short closing meditation and I’m off to a breakfast of yogurt and goji berries.

The week flies by filled with bodywork, massage, colonic hydrotherapy, Somatic (dialogue and movement) and water healing (please try this – it will move you in more ways than one), and oh yeah, did I mention the award-winning food?

Ultimately, the remote location enables you to take time for yourself, a partner or creative work - without diversions. “This is why we don’t have televisions in the rooms” says one of the owners Chicco Tatriele. “We have enough screen time; the focus is on reconnecting with your authentic self.” No matter which direction you look in, everything is alive - in turn, you become more alive and peaceful.

Three Night Retreat at Fivelements, Puri Ahisma, Bali

Day Two
8:10am? Oh no! I had slept through my alarm and like a woman with my hair on fire I leaped out of bed, threw on my yoga kit and ran to meet Made Agus Wirayasa, my Tantra Healing Yoga instructor for this session, with 12 years experience under his belt. Although I was furiously throwing my hair up into a ponytail and rattling off apology-after-apology for being late, he calmly smiled and told me not to worry. He carefully removed his shoes, as I furiously kicked mine off, and we walked up the steps into Mandala Agung together like an apple and an orange on totally different wavelengths. This structure was built to resemble Gunung Agung, Bali’s highest and most revered volcanic mountain. In the centre, there is a double spiral formation that symbolizes people from all walks of life and the top allows a channel of light to extend downward.

Made started with some meditation including chanting Sanskrit and I did my best to concentrate. Meditation has never been my ‘thing’ but I was willing to try. Made explained that Tantra Healing Yoga is to expand awareness and bring attention to our consciousness. “Ultimately, we aim to create peace and harmony within ourselves”, said Made as he approached me. He took my hands and said “now we are going to breathe together and give and receive energy”. I wasn’t sure how to exactly give Made my energy and figured he wasn’t expecting me to dig into my pockets and pass it to him, so I did as instructed with my eyes closed and started breathing with him. I soon realized that Tantra Healing Yoga is very different to what I am used to at my local gym during a rushed lunch break. You share a moment with each other; a moment with a stranger who wants to offer you the appreciation of life and its simple graces that they know. Made took me through yoga poses, followed by stretching and massage. At times he would be right behind me with his strong, calm voice reminding me to breathe and focus. If only I had Made by my side during the normal course of life and the curve-balls often thrown my way. We finished with some more breathing together and meditation. This was the perfect way to start my day and I walked out of Mandala Agung calm, relaxed and slightly enlightened. I’d like to think I left more inline with Made than how I scurried in, but at least knew I was appreciative to have shared time with him and I think he understood I was grateful.

Day Three
I didn’t know when I woke up that today would be a day I would remember for a very long time. After some fresh fruit and a morning walk, I again met with Made Agus Wirayasa for a Water Healing Dance in the Watsu (hydrotherapy) pool. The treatment was explained to me as being gliding gracefully through the water while having massage applied and stretches that are also assisted by the water. I was told my body would unwind and through free movement I would be inviting healing, both mentally and emotionally. Well, it was all this and more. Made and I sat together poolside for some mediation and breathing first. Made explained he would put floats on my arms and legs and we would be close in the water. He would help me float, move me through the motions and at times I may experience emotions of sadness or happiness, for example. Made was very gracious and left to get changed while I de-robed and hopped into the Watsu which was warm, inviting and had music around and under the water. The Watsu had a sheer curtain surrounding it and vibrant petals around the outside. I didn’t think I was entering the pool with any worries or baggage, but I certainly came out feeling lighter and free. My eyes were closed throughout the treatment and at one stage, Made was assisting my body to glide and twist to the music and I actually felt like an Egyptian princess standing in a room with white silk curtains floating and blowing behind me. I have never felt so connected with myself and my surroundings and to think 90 minutes in a hydrotherapy pool would leave me feeling like I felt after watching an inspiring dancer on stage was just phenomenal. At the end Made said he knew I had experienced something and I was utterly lost for words.

Tat Tvam Asi by:Gwyn Williams

 

Shanti Agung Zen Thai Shiatsu Retreat 2012

Tat Tvam Asi

When Tat Twam Asee (translation … I am Free) is discovered to be the base mantra Of Balinese Spirituality it felt like we were simply being reminded on the Core Teaching that sits within each each day. Maybe there a unified reason that brought this group to this sweet, small Traditional village on the East Coast of Bali for 12 days of Zenthai, Yoga,and Culture.. The Power Mantra asks us not to continually be reaching out for Something …that is ‘already sitting deep’ within each and everyone of us ..FREEDOM..

AS RUMI BEAUITFULLY SHARES …’A place between rightdoing and wrongdoing…let’s meet there..where the soul lays in the grass and the world is too full to speak.

Towards final days , the group scribe their focused intentions onto a piece of paper which is wrapped in Balinese batik to be carried to the summit of Mount the Agung days later, where the power of words and thought word merge with the Sacredness, Light and Divine Power found in the eye of the Mighty Agung. The package of words are sealed with a final piece..the  Mantra ..’Tat Twam Asee..

A Team of 11 set off at the completion of the retreat for the trek to the top.  The twelve days beforehand are full of deep realisations, challenging sheddings of the old and beautifully unique,sweet, group connections. Beginning at 3am in the morning we arrive for sunrise, as the sun is blessing the pit of the great volcano. I throw the bandana of intentions into the Heart of Agung ..as we chorus internally together ..’Give Yourself up to Source’..The updraft from the centre take the paper pieces into a flying whirlpool of wind..let them them go!! Some down, some up, some around, not for us to decide !!

Half an hour later we begin the descent..Twenty minutes into the trek I step upon a lone piece of paper …one of the 35 that had been let go into the volcano an hour before. Here, was one that had obviously been thrown into the upward current and now found it’s place at my feet. I pick it up and read the words ..Tat Twam Asee.!!

I turn to friend behind with paper in my hand held high in the air.” Tat Twam Asee” I exclaim…in a mixture of disbelief, honoring and recognising of the Great Unfolding.. WE all take a deep Bow..Giving ourselves up to the Source..

I Thank all for being part of this wonderful unfolding with me. May your expanded being now paint the wonderful reality in your days. The paintbrush is in your hands.

Yoga with Christine Stafford (Post surgery rehabilitation for Arthritis – 10 days)

 Yoga with Christine Stafford (By Nyoman Wahyuni)

                This early August, I got opportunity to had yoga session with Christine Stafford  at Nusa Dua Bali, an amazing lady from England. She had surgery on her feet for arthritis that made her suffered for long time. She does yoga as the part of her rehabilitation.

                The first day she arrived here, she was still has many difficulties to move with her legs and feet, because it’s so stiff and tight. We start to do yoga with focusing on her legs, stretching and strengthening so she can move easier for other postures. We used strap and ball for the helping tools.

                The stretching was work, on the second day her legs much more feels comfortable and stronger. We continued work with the legs with some simple standing poses. Gave more stretching with head to knee posture (using strap to help her legs straight).

The next days, we start to work her feet and toes that was so tight, she even couldn’t bend it. We did more posture using the toes to support her body and hold the postures longer day by day.

Christine was getting better and better, she work really hard for the postures and got an amazing result for her effort. At the end of our 10 days sessions, she could move very easy from pose to pose, get stronger and more flexible for allover her body. She even could do head to knee posture perfectly without the strap! She plans to continue her yoga program when she get back to England.

                She was so amazing, goes beyond the expectation because of her strong determination. So much inspiring. Wish her getting better day by day.

Yoga With Students From Singapore@ Aston, Bali

          Menyambut liburan sekolah ada dua hal yang sering menjadi bahan pembicaraan dikalangan pelaku pariwisata terutama di Bali. Hal pertama yaitu bisa dikatakan sisi baiknya, wisatawan berbondong-bondong datang ke Bali, baik dari Indonesia maupun wisatawan mancanegara. Tentunya hal ini yang bisa membangkitkan gairah bisnis pariwisata di Bali. Namun hal buruknya yaitu seolah-olah Bali tiba-tiba menjadi sangat kecil, jalanan semuanya macet, Mall Mall semua penuh, orang-orang menyemut di pantai apalagi saat sunset di pantai Kuta. Sampai-sampai saya saat ini anti dengan pantai Kuta karena identik dengan macet dan keramaian. Tapi tentu saja bagi mereka yang tidak pernah berkunjung ke Bali, ini merupakan hal yang masih bisa diterima. Namun disela-sela isu kemacetan dan padatnya wisatawan di Bali, tentunya ada tren baru di dunia pariwisata yang cukup menghibur dan membesarkan hati yaitu "Yoga". Untuk mengisi kebosanan shopping, stress karena jalanan macet dan antri di mall, yoga merupakan pilihan yang jitu. Selain memberikan manfaat yang sangat banyak terutama untuk kesehatan secara menyeluruh, fisik-mental-spiritual, Yoga juga bisa dikemas sedemikian rupa sehingga mampu menjadi sebuah cerita yang sangat berkesan dan mungkin tak akan terlupakan. Bayangkan saja, disaat semua orang belum berangkat kerja sekitar jam 6 pagi, yang artinya udara masih segar dan jalanan tidak macet, kita sudah santai dipinggir pantai melakukan yoga sekalian menikmati suara ombak dan kesejukan angin pantai, tak terlukiskan! Lalu melakukan gerakan yoga yang lembut sambil menyambut terbitnya matahari di pagi hari, sekalian merasakan sinar matahari pelan jatuh menghangati sekujur tubuh kita, wow!!! memang inilah aura Bali yang sesungguhnya. Misteri keindahan Pulau Bali hanya bisa dirasakan oleh orang-orang yang mau bangun pagi dan ber-yoga. Ayo selamat beryoga kawan!

          Terima Kasih buat adik-adik pecinta Yoga dari Singapore yang telah berbagi yoga dengan saya pada tanggal 29 Mei 2012, dan juga semua gurunya yang tidak lupa dengan wajah saya (karena kita sudah melakukan yoga sebelumnya di pantai Kuta, saat liburan yang lalu) dan juga terima kasih buat teacher Ananda Deva, Komang Sudana dan Vinz yang sudah mensuport kegiatan ini, dan rela bangun pagi. Ditunggu event selanjutnya ya...Namaskar.

TedX Ubud 2012@Fivelements-Bali

TEDxUbud’s event on May 26, 2012 is themed around Threads of Change. You’ll hear new ways of thinking about coffee, you’ll learn about breakthroughs in treating anemia, empowering local communities, and harnessing a bird sanctuary’s power. You’ll be motivated by entrepreneurs who are accelerating innovation in Indonesia and improving the lives of its citizens, and you’ll be amazed by artists who use music and movement to inspire us all.

Think of TEDxUbud as a day of intellectual adventure with 300 of your smartest, curious, and most inspiring friends. A full day to explore new ideas, be moved by visionary thinkers, and learn about things you may not have ever seen before.

This will be the second annual TEDx event we’ve hosted. We say “hosted” as we deliberately schedule generous breaks for conversation over catered snacks. The day is all about our attendees and the connections they make during the course of the day and the collaborations and friendships that come out of these connections.

Since we first founded TEDxUbud, our goal in mind has been to cultivate a community of people who would be inspired and motivated into action. These talks can inspire – they can be the spark that ignites new ideas and positive change.

Keindahan Yoga di Ubud,Bali

Pagi itu saya harus mengajar 2 kelas yoga yang letaknya berjauhan. kelas pertama adalah yoga privat yang memang terjadwal 2 kali seminggu di rumahnya yang ada di seputaran Renon, Denpasar. Dan kelas kedua sudah book via email yang akan dilakukan di salah satu Villa di Ubud. Saya sudah menduga bahwa saya akan ngebut di jalan untuk bisa sampai ontime di ubud. Dan hari itu sepertinya nasib baik bagi saya, jalanan tidak macet dan tenaga saya masih prima. Setelah menyelesaikan kelas pertama saya, langsung deh saya meluncur ke Ubud. meskipun agak ingung-bingung dikit cari alamat Vilanya tapi akhirnya ketemu juga. Tamunya udah menunggu saya di restoran kecil yang lokasinya dekat ruangan yang akan dipakai yoga. Begitu datang saya langsung disapa dengan senyum ramahnya. Dia langsung tahu saya karena sudah lihat foto-foto saya di web ini. Lalu kita langsung menuju ruangan yoga. dengan berbekal pengalaman saya bisa menebak bahwa calon peserta yoga saya sudah mendalami yoga dengan baik. Vibrasinya beda. Diawali dengan interview singkat maka saya lebih yakin keadaan peserta yoga saya dan saya bisa mendisain yoga sesuai dengan apa yang diharapkannya. Meditasi, Pranayama, stretching pose yoga dan relaksasi kita lakukan dengan baik dan proporsional. Konsepnya yaitu yoga untuk kebugaran. Dia menikmati sekali flow 1-1yoga kita, apalagi ditambah dengan profesinya sebagai praktisi balet maka lengkap sudah private yoga kita. Selama sesi yoga, temannya asyik mengambil gambar kita dan itu menjadikan kenangan yoga yang indah selama liburannya di Bali. Thanks SK for yoga with me. Namaste.

Saya bagi fotonya ya, keren kan?

The moment devotion is aroused, the love of God comes.

That which makes the mind soft and strong and strenuous, so it may keep itself in a balanced state even in the condition of pain, that which perpetually creates a pleasant feeling within is called love. Devotion is identical with love. The moment devotion is aroused, the love of God comes.

Love and Devotion

LOVE

That which makes the mind soft and strong and strenuous, so it may keep itself in a balanced state even in the condition of pain, that which perpetually creates a pleasant feeling within is called love. Devotion is identical with love. The moment devotion is aroused, the love of God comes.

DEVOTION

is that bridge which connects the unit with the Cosmic Consciousness. Before crossing the bridge of devotion one feels, "You are That Supreme Consciousness." But while crossing the bridge, he feels, "I am That."

Bayangkan bila Anda hanya boleh menyantap makanan mentah selama seminggu. Tapi koki dan presenter, 31 tahun, sukses besar. Dia menyantap menu olahan dari bahan mentah saat mengikuti program detoksifikasi di Ubud, Bali, pekan lalu. "Hasilnya, saya merasa lebih bugar, pikiran tenang, dan emosi lebih terkendali," kata ibu satu anak ini.

Dua hari pertama Farah hanya boleh minum jus buah dan jus sayuran mentah. Hari berikutnya, dia boleh menyantap pizza, spaghetti, es krim, dan cake cokelat. Tidak ada satu pun makanan itu yang dimasak. "Tapi rasanya enak sekali," ujarnya. Terapi ini dijalani bersamaan dengan pembersihan usus besar dari kerak makanan yang mengendap bertahun-tahun.

Farah juga wajib mengikuti yoga, somatic treatment, dan meditasi. "Bukan hanya tubuh, pikiran juga harus dibersihkan dari racun atau pikiran negatif," katanya. Di sebuah tempat tenang yang sangat eksklusif, Farah pun dikarantina dari dunia luar. Demi mengembalikan energi tubuhnya ini, dia harus menguras kocek US$ 5.000 atau Rp 42,7 juta untuk program selama sepekan.
