“I feel like I’ve been born again—not in an evangelical way, but as if my soul is more dominant, rather than my ego. I no longer feel the need to swear or get wasted; I am addiction free which was a huge goal of mine, and the deep, deep anger has gone.
I gave a serpent-like creature to the holy man when he was healing me. I drew a picture of it, tore it to pieces, and threw it away. My fear was of the serpent that was inside me. It’s tail wrapped around the base of my spine, and its face with big teeth, sat on the left side of my head. It would terrorise and scare me. I might sound mad, but that’s what I saw and felt.
I have made progress in dealing with the stressors of my day. I can let it go and trust more; the unbearable boredom is gone, and I have developed a healthy detachment towards others. I pray God lets me serve Him more; I have a strong desire to be closer to God, to truly come from a place of peace, love and gratitude all the time.
I am grateful for the peace I now have. I thought it would go away, but it has become a part of me, as a direct result of my experience in Bali.
Please offer my regards to your Bali team, especially the beautiful cleaning lady who showed me gratitude.
You and your work are important.”
