Water Energy From Afar – Leaving Bali

This morning, in an effort to not get hooked on caffeine via iced chocolate and iced matcha lattes, I opted for an iced tarot latte (from Cafe Coach in Canggu) and I have to say it is divine. Even just marveling at the gorgeous deep lavender color makes me feel joy. Being that food/beverage is currently such an important part of my sensory experience, I am apprehensive about heading to a different country when here there is anything I could possibly want, all within my dietary preferences and all deliverable. In how many places can I have a gorgeous, delicious almond milk iced tarot latte delivered to my door in 20 minutes of pressing a button on an app? This is luxury.

At the same time, I think most foreign people come here for that very luxury, and in it is a disparity compared to local people, who mostly cannot afford the same lifestyle. It doesn’t feel good on a deeper level to be in that energy dynamic. The island herself, the waters, the land, the nature, is so rich with love and power, but the road noise, pollution, and foreigner-based development and foreign-local benefit gap leaves me knowing that even though I have enjoyed these lovely pros, I could not live here permanently and it is time to head somewhere else for a while.

With my upcoming departure to Thailand, I felt like I hadn’t done “enough” here and what I realized was that I was being called to see a bit more of the island. Yesterday, I went to Sanur and it was touristy but far more laid back than Canggu. I walked along the coast and came to a T-shaped jetty, went to the end, down the rocks, and sat in the water. I ended up sitting there for an hour (the same that I can done a couple days before at Dream Beach in Uluwatu) to connect with the water.

Asking if there was anything she wanted from me, anything I needed from her, we connected. I wanted to know if I was complete with Bali, if heading to Thailand and not returning was my next step. On the way to Sanur, I saw a yellow butterfly and it felt like, “yes, you are coming to completion.” In the water, I felt connection, appreciation for the island, healing. I asked high beings with greater light to come and offer me wisdom and healing. I felt what I can only describe as angel energy, or light being energy. And, then, at the far end of the jetty, two people released flower petals into the water, and they flowed along the current to me. As I sat there, colorful petals floating by, I felt the message, “Yes, it is time, we are complete.”

Vibrating and feeling joy, I also realized that there was another message. I started recalling all the waters I had connected so deeply with in my life. Beginning with little me, who always ran straight to the water when we arrived at the beach, and stayed there for hours on end not wanting to leave. And so many others, the port of Cassis in France, rocky edges of the Mediterranean, cenotes of the Yucatan, the Caribbean, Grassi Lakes in Alberta, and so on. When they flashed into my mind, I had a felt-sense of the energy and connection. The water was telling me that even when I leave Bali, I can reconnect with that energy and communicate with it.

I believe we can connect across time and space without coming into physical contact with something, but being that I am having a physical experience here in this plane, having already physically been to a place, makes it especially easy to connect, reconnect, and communicate with its energy.

I draw such comfort and power in the newfound knowledge that I can connect with those places of power across the planet and engage with them in energy work and communication. Perhaps this is part of why I have been led to travel to specific parts of the world. I feel so grateful for the waters and how they help me on my journey. I am so appreciative, as the power, healing, and wisdom they’ve brought me is profound.
