Balinese bird This blog begins on the first morning of a 3-week visit to my home in Bali.

Space Clearing is a complete way of life here on this beautiful island, which has often been called the purification centre of the planet. I've learnt so many things in the 16 years I've lived here that wisdoms from Bali are liberally sprinkled throughout my workshops, books and articles, and no doubt will feature in this blog too.

Having spent a lot of time in Sydney this year, my etheric has had to make some adjustments to living in the West. I had forgotten just how etherically blissful it is here. I'm not exactly sure whether a part of my etheric shuts down when I'm in the West or a special part of my etheric activates when I'm here in Bali, but whatever it is, the contrast is remarkable.

For anyone reading this who is not sure what I mean by etheric, I'm talking about the subtle body of energy we all have that is sometimes referred to as ‘chi' or life force energy. At its most basic level, it's the part of us that feels energised at the beginning of the day and depleted and tired towards the end of the day. Medical science can't measure it but we can certainly feel it. I've spent many years of my life awakening and developing my etheric body so that it has its own know-how and intelligence. It's foundational to many of my space clearing skills.

So here in Bali, where the land is drenched in ethericity and just about everyone has a degree of etheric know-how, it's not surprising that it's possible to experience levels that are rarely felt in the West.

Take the sweet chirpings of early morning birdsong in my garden. A dawn chorus sounds wonderful anywhere in the world but here it has a special quality. I don't just experience it as sound; I also feel it in the outer layers of my etheric, like tiny kisses in my energy. Sometimes on a still morning like today, it's so quintessentially vibrant that I receive the sounds in my energy more like incandescent starbursts, bordering on orgasmic (yes, I'm still talking about birdsong).

What's so different about birdsong in Bali is that the whole island is presenced. The 20,000 public temples and millions of private shrines that are all maintained on a daily basis make it the most vibrant spiritual culture and sacred space I've found anywhere on Earth, and it's this that the birds express in their song. Being very sensitive, they feel the land energies rise up through their bodies, and the sounds that we hear are what spills joyfully out of their beaks. Imagine what it feels like to have so much high level energy passing through you that you make such sounds!
