Embracing My Balinese Heritage in the Heart of Newcastle
Moving from the rich cultural landscape of Bali to the serene coastal life in Newcastle, Australia has been a transformative journey for me. While I’ve embraced many aspects of Australian life, my Balinese heritage continues to be the heart and soul of everything I do, especially in my healing practice.
Spirituality at the Core of My Work
In Bali, spirituality isn’t something separate from daily life; it’s woven into everything we do. Growing up surrounded by rituals, offerings, and ceremonies, I was taught that life is a constant exchange of energy between ourselves, nature, and the divine. This spiritual connection is at the core of my healing work here in Newcastle.
Even though I’m far from Bali, I still feel deeply connected to the spiritual wisdom of my ancestors. I’ve integrated practices like chakra healing, Balinese rituals, and meditative techniques into my Reiki sessions with clients, helping them find balance and release trapped emotions. I also continue to perform sacred rituals, like my ocean-based karmic release ceremonies, inspired by the wisdom passed down through my lineage. Keeping Traditions Alive Despite living in a different country, I hold onto the cultural traditions that are so meaningful to me. Simple rituals—like lighting incense in the mornings to honor my ancestors, or offering gratitude to the universe before I begin a new day—help me stay connected to my roots.
In Australia, I’ve found ways to adapt these traditions to my new environment. For instance, instead of Bali’s temple offerings, I create sacred spaces in my home and healing center, allowing the energy of both cultures to flow together harmoniously. It’s a beautiful blend of two worlds—Balinese spirituality grounded in the natural beauty of Newcastle. Sharing Balinese Wisdom with My Newcastle Community One of the most rewarding parts of living in Newcastle is sharing my Balinese heritage with others. I love introducing clients to healing techniques like Balinese massage, energy work, and chakra alignment. These practices, rooted in ancient traditions, have the power to unlock emotional and spiritual blockages, helping people live more fulfilling lives. For those who might not be familiar with Balinese customs, I always emphasize that anyone can benefit from this wisdom. Something as simple as creating a space for mindfulness or setting intentions for gratitude can bring so much peace and clarity into our modern lives. I often share easy-to-follow rituals with my clients, helping them bring a bit of Bali’s healing energy into their daily routine.
The Beauty of Blending Cultures
While my Balinese heritage remains central to who I am, living in Newcastle has also expanded my understanding of healing and community. I’ve learned to appreciate the similarities between the two cultures—the love for nature, the importance of connection, and the desire to live authentically. By blending the spiritual essence of Bali with the grounded lifestyle of Newcastle, I’ve created a practice that honors both cultures. I’m constantly inspired by the natural beauty of this region, which often reminds me of Bali’s lush landscapes. It’s a privilege to bring the energy of my homeland into the lives of the wonderful people I meet here in Australia.
