I've been to sound meditations before but nothing quite like the one I experienced in Ubud Bali.⁠
Kate Wiese is who you want to see at Taksu Healing Haven.⁠
There were over a dozen gongs, bowls, chimes, and musical instruments designed to relax and clear your body. ⁠
The sound washes over and through your body, trying to create balance and alignment. ⁠
Sound meditation can help release physical tension as well as mental blocks.⁠
If you want to learn more about sound meditation, you can read my article here, http://bit.ly/soundmeditate.⁠
If you want to experience this amazing experience, pay Kate a visit at Taksu⁠

There are many different native dance performances every night of the week in Ubud Bali.⁠
Balinese dance performances often tell historical stories. They're tied to their culture and religion.⁠
Some dances welcome gods, some are dances showing the battle between good and evil, and some are strictly to entertain.⁠
I went to a kecak dance, because who doesn't love a dance inspired by a trance exorcism. This is a hindu dance where the only music heard is by the men in the performance. It's sort of a human beat box as they chant in unison "chak." They use their arms, hands, and bodies for additional noise and slapping.⁠
It's fascinating and indeed trance-like with the "chak, chak, chak" repetition. It's a great show to catch while in Ubud. #balidance⁠

It's a pleasure to see the daily offerings placed outside temples, door steps, and shops in Ubud Bali. Scroll through and you can see the many different arrangements or canang sari as they’re called.
Fresh offerings are placed outside each and every day. They’re a prayer, or gift, for everything from protection and safety to warding off any demons that might be hanging around.
A small hand crafted shallow basket is made from palm or banana leaves. Inside goes the offering of usually bright fresh flowers.
Sometimes there’s a little bit of money as you can see in one of the pictures.
Rice or other food is often included, and I saw more than one monkey take advantage of that.
Then incense is usually burned on top while prayers are said when placing the offering on the street.
It’s been a little tricky navigating the tiny sidewalks that are filled with these canang sari, as I didn’t want to step on any of them and awake a demon!
They do make the sidewalks more colorful and are a lovely prayer and ritual. .

It was so cool to spontaneously pull over on the side of the road in Bali to witness rice being harvested.
This mostly female group were clearing the field in record time (and some had no shoes on!). They used a small sickle to cut the plant and then they whack it into the collection bin where the grain falls off. No machines used here.
You can see that the grains are then double and triple sifted to remove any extra debris.
It’s dried under the sun for several days.
It seemed like really hard work. I was sweating just standing there watching them.
For this group, the rice is just used for their personal use. I was told that the harvesting is a fun, social activity for them to do together. I can imagine bonding over creating and preparing such a staple for all their meals.
I think many of our communities could benefit from such a practice. As close as I get is recommending a favorite product while shopping at Whole Foods!
I know I’ll continue to feel very grateful for the amazing access to fresh food that we have and for the people who bring it to us. #feelinggrateful .

Scroll through to share my experience hiking the beautiful, but steep, Tegalalang rice terraces outside of Ubud, Bali. Trust me, it’s much easier to scroll than to hike!
I was happy to get up early and have the popular rice terraces mostly to myself, and it felt better to hike in the slightly cooler am temps.
The innovative irrigation system has been passed down since the 8th century.
Small farmers manage sections of the rice paddies and are often seen selling drinks or souvenirs. If you visit, remember to bring small change as they appreciate donations and may even get a little huffy if you pass by without leaving anything!
I always love being surrounded by trees and green and this was a great way to get my heart pumping first thing in the morning! #tegalalangriceterrace .

I promise I'll stop taking pictures of all the fresh fruit I've been eating in Bali, really soon. ⁠
It's just so...good.⁠
At all of the restaurants I've seen in Ubud, the drink menu is at least one entire page long, if not, 2-3 pages. And when I say drink, I mean non-alcoholic drink. I'm sure you've seen wine and cocktails lists that are many pages but have you ever seen a juice or elixir list that's more than a small listing at the end of a menu, if there's one at all?⁠
I love all of the drink options here. There's superfoods everywhere and lots of great combinations.⁠
This is a beet-centric elixir designed to help flush the liver. I actually have a liver cleansing beet juice on Tasting Page if you want to jump in on a little taste of Bali from your own home, http://bit.ly/beetgingerjuice.⁠
