Beyond the chatic traffic, land exploitation, over population, and other problems in this modern era, Bali is still magical in so many ways, and not just spiritual-wise. The beauty of Bali is much deeper than meets the eye-I believe it is the energy called taksu that makes Bali attractive to so many people.

Bali is not just about breath-taking scenery and white sandy beaches. It is about the people living harmoniously with a strong belief in a life philosophy called “Tri Hita Karana”, a Sanskrit term that means three paths to peace and prosperity.

The belief in a harmonious relationship with God, follow human beings, and the environment. As I recall, Kati Basset, a French PhD of Ethnomusicology and anthropologist once said, “Living happily among the Balinese is easy,not because they are materially well off, but because they are spiritually rich. It is poved in their beautiful smiles, and that’s how they stole my heart.
