My Healing Journey to Bali ✨🌴

 Ubud – The Heartbeat of My Soul

When people think of Bali, they often imagine beaches, parties, and touristy scenes. But for me, it was something entirely different. I wasn’t chasing a vacation. I was longing for peace, for stillness, and for a space where I could just be — no expectations, no pressure. And so, I followed my heart and landed in Ubud, the spiritual soul of Bali.

A Gentle Start :  Spa & Soul Soaking

The moment I arrived in Bali, the hustle and bustle of the airport and city reminded me why I was here — to escape it all. As my journey took me closer to Ubud, the energy shifted. Though the roads were still a little busy, they felt calmer, more grounded. It was the perfect prelude to the transformation I was about to experience.

I checked into Kiskenda Cottages, a cozy, greenery-wrapped sanctuary just slightly off the main Ubud street — close enough to walk, far enough to breathe. After a quick refresh, I stepped out to explore, craving a good meal and a self-care pause.

Lunch was at Chai of the Tiger, and it was divine. I had the perfect thali and a lime soda that felt like a cool breeze on a hot noon. The flavors, the spices, the comfort — it all hit differently in that moment. 🥗🍋

Feeling full and inspired, I walked into Bali Organic Spa Ubud and booked a 5-hour full-body spa package for just RM230. I asked if I could split it over two days, and they gladly agreed.

That afternoon, I was treated to a foot soak, full body massage, body scrub, body yogurt wrap, and a flower bath — all in the open, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Birds chirping, breeze flowing, and warm hands massaging away every tension I didn’t even know I was carrying. It was pure joy — not just relaxation, but renewal. 💆‍♀️🌸

I returned to my villa that evening and drifted into a deep, soul-resting sleep — the kind that feels like a soft reset from the inside out.

Taman Beji Griya Waterfall: My Soul's Awakening

The next morning came with a quiet excitement. This was the day. The reason I came to Bali.

After a light breakfast, I headed to Taman Beji Griya Waterfall for the purification and healing ceremony. On arrival, I was welcomed warmly and briefed about the sacred process. I selected the package that felt aligned with my intention — a healing journey to cleanse, release, and awaken. (See price list attached for reference).

Wrapped in traditional attire, I began the ritual. Just after the first offering, the skies opened — it began to rain.

But this wasn’t just rain. It was as if the heavens were blessing the moment. I stood in it, soaking — not just in water, but in grace. 🌧️🙏

The journey continued into the cave. The moment I entered, the rain stopped — a poetic pause from nature, as if it was holding the space just for me.

Each stop in the purification process had its own energy. Waterfalls, sacred stones, blessings whispered in chants — I surrendered fully. I wasn’t rushing. I wasn’t thinking. I was feeling. Letting each drop wash away a layer of what no longer served me.

By the time I walked out, I wasn’t the same.

Grounding Back Into Me

I returned from the ceremony, feeling light, almost floaty. I went searching for food but nothing on the menus around moved me. Until I reached RUS Kitchen. As I browsed their offerings, my body leaned toward something plant-based. I ordered the vegetarian rice bowl, and it turned out to be incredibly aromatic and satisfying. A perfect post-ritual meal. 🌾💚

Later, I headed back to Bali Organic Spa to continue the rest of my package. This time, it was a deep scalp massage and spa treatment — relaxing my crown and calming my thoughts.

As the evening approached, I found myself chatting with a few friendly locals outside the spa,  light conversations that felt like balm to the soul. I then wandered into a nearby café, grabbed a coffee, and did some journal writing,  capturing reflections that I knew I’d want to revisit later. That night, I returned to my room and slept deeply again - this time, not just with a relaxed body, but with a beautifully realigned spirit.

Sound, Stillness & the Magic of Being Present

My final morning in Ubud began with a hot soak in the bathtub, followed by a warm shower. I wasn’t hungry, so I simply grabbed a coffee from my usual café, packed my bags, and headed to Pyramids of Chi for my next experience: the Ancient Sound Healing Session.

The 90-minute session was held inside a sacred pyramid structure, and from the moment it began, I was transported. The sound vibrations moved through me, realigning something invisible but important. 🔔💫

After the session, I wandered slowly through the space. I sat facing the Pyramids of the Moon and Sun, sipping on a dragonfruit smoothie and a latte, with The Power of Now in my hands.

The sunlight danced on my skin. Birds sang softly. The smoothie was refreshing. The moment felt whole.

And I couldn’t help but be thankful that I chose the early session — there were only seven of us, allowing for a deep, quiet connection. The next group, I noticed, had nearly 30 people.

After a while, I called a Grab and prepared to leave Ubud.

Ubud — You Held Me Gently

As we drove away, a wave of emotion rose in me. Ubud wasn’t just a place I visited. It was a place that held me, nurtured me, and reminded me who I was. A place that made me feel like I was gently cradled — like a queen in retreat, even without luxury. Just nature, intention, and presence. 👑🌿

An Unexpected Gift: Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

I originally planned to go straight to Seminyak, but as my Grab driver shared stories and suggestions, one name caught my ear — Jatiluwih.

Something nudged me, and I asked, “Can we go there?”
He smiled. “Of course.”

We drove into the hills, where the air grew cooler and the skies turned cloudy. The road winded gently until we reached a place that looked like a living painting — terraced green waves of rice fields, soft wind, and a peaceful stillness that wrapped around me.

There were no crowds, just small stalls with local snacks and a wide-open path. I walked for about two hours, soaking in every breath, every view. Then I treated myself to a fresh coconut before continuing the drive to Seminyak.
