Rekan-Rekan yang Berbahagia: Saya FWD-kan artikel menarik mengenai spiritual insights mengenai Bali yang diperoleh oleh penulisnya Annie Franjie Pannie, seorang Australia yang sekarang menjadi WNI, dan telah menetap di Bali selama puluhan tahun.
Buat Vincent Liong dan saya, Annie Franjie Pannie adalah Ann Sinclair, sahabat lama kami dengan rumahnya yang asri di Sanur, Bali. We call her Ann. Terakhir kali kami mengunjungi Ann di Sanur pada awal tahun ini, Januari 2006. Tetapi pengalaman paling berkesan dengan Ann adalah waktu kami bersama-sama menghadiri Musyawarah Nasional Forum Komunikasi Paranormal dan Penyembuh Alternatif Indonesia yang diadakan tahun lalu di Jakarta. Karena Ann adalah satu-satunya penyembuh spiritual yang asli bule di acara Munas itu, maka TVRI Nasional langsung mewawancarai Ann yang berbicara dengan Bahasa Indonesia yang sangat fasih itu. Tapi dengan saya Ann selalu bicara Bahasa Inggris. Ann is very clairvoyant. She has a very keen Third Eye. She once told me that in my previous life I was a female prostitute; not too spiritual a profession, eh? So be it. But the vestiges were stilll with me then that, according to Ann, I still exuded the resentment of having become one. For me, that was the most clear and straightforward pastlife reading that I have ever had until now. Sehari-harinya Ann melakukan praktek penyembuhan spiritual melalui meditasi dan pembacaan kartu tarot di rumahnya di Sanur, Bali. Kadang-kadang Ann juga muncul di Jakarta untuk mengunjungi para pasien dan sahabat-sahabatnya.

This third Chakra has played a very prominent role in life on earth since time began. Life has, through the ages, evolved up from the first, or Base Chakra - that of instinctual basic survival, safety and support systems and has stepped through the second, or Sacral Chakra that of creativity, co-creativity and procreativity - into this, the third, or Solar Plexus, Chakra that of emotions, control, courage and fear. The Solar Plexus is, to date, the largest energy vortex of our bodies and of Mother Earth. In this third dimension we are in complete alignment with the solar plexus - the third Chakra. As we are also the third planet from sol, the sun, the number three becomes a significant aspect of life, as we know it. Bali plays an important role on the planet as it is situated on Mother Earth in the male/right sided aspect of the Solar Plexus, just as the liver. (N.B. The shape of the island is akin to that of the liver attached to Nusa Dua, the gall bladder). The liver deals with digestion, interpretation and purification of foodstuffs of course, and also of feelings and emotions, including physical and bodily sensory input. Being positioned on the right/male side of the body, the liver has the function to actively filtrate all five of our sensory messages that enter from the receptive left/feminine portals, the Islets of Langerhans, (vortexes, shaped like fingernails on a long hand) in the spleen. Emotions are the driving force behind all magical and healing happenings, in this way we see why Bali is known as the island of the gods, full of the spirit of magic. This magic occurs through the use and/or abuse of emotions, because the emotional body is closely connected with the spiritual body; emotions rule spirit. Low tone emotions such as anger, rage, hatred, jealousy, lust and greed are the forces behind what we call black magic, or more simply put abuse of power or spirit. High tone emotions such as unconditional love and compassion are the force behind all white magic, which we recognize as healings and miracles or more simply put, correct use of power or spirit. The function of the liver in our body - and Bali on Planet Earth - is to recognize whether a substance, experience or feeling is either nourishing or toxic which can then be dealt with accordingly; whether this be a fat, a sugar, a protein, a carbohydrate, an enlightened or unenlightened entity, a positive or negative element or frequency. Being the largest vortex, the Solar Plexus is a two-way channel for a vast amount of substances, sensory experiences, feelings and spirit entering and exiting our bodies and Mother Earth - all to be determined and purified through the function of the liver. If recognized as nourishment it will be retained in the body, or planet, but if recognized as a toxin it will be transformed and disposed of as a harmless by-product. It is for this reason that we need to respect and take great care of our liver, and hence of Bali. As both have the purpose of determining what is nutritious and what is noxious. Is it not evident then that if we numb the function of the liver - its ability to discern - we allow toxins and waste to languish around in our body tissue and our blood vessels, in our gardens and our rivers? Remember that to feel is to heal; if we can feel it we can heal it, at the source. It is through the liver we can distinguish, and should it be less than delightful then we have a responsibility to do something about it, just as the liver does, if alert and healthy, by transmuting it into productive waste. When we sense that something is delightful then we should celebrate it, appreciate it; do a little dance; sing a little song! If its less than delightful then we should elevate it. Celebrate or elevate are simple choices, and we do always have a choice. The more we respect our liver, and our island, the more we are prepared to feel. To feel that which is our responsibility to feel without running away from, or numbing, those feelings by damaging the liver. Sources of numbing the liver could be the consumption of coffee and alcohol both common sources of liver damage - and a general emotional numbness that would include fiery reactions to feelings. It is best to save alcohol for killing negative bacteria topically - and for cleaning. And, if you like coffee, just keep the package on the shelf and inhale the fragrance. It is the aroma that is the best part after all; doing this will greatly improve the general well being of your liver. Many of us who now reside on this magical island came innocently, seeking a warmer climate, some romance; others came to just rest - seemingly earthly reasons. Over the years, many have also come to realize that our purpose is somewhat more involved than that. Life in Bali takes us on a spiritual journey, through emotions offering wondrous and even at times fearful experiences, to our destination of ultimate awareness of the need for self-discipline. Remember, in the solar plexus, control is the issue here and self-control is the key. Those of us who have magical strains in our blood are either on Earth in service to life or in service to Self - the rest of the planet is filled with the audience - this basically defines whether or not we will use Spirit or abuse Spirit. Those beings in service to life will use Spirit for the greater good of the whole, whereas those in service to Self will abuse Spirit for their own personal gain. A simple distinction, and an arrangement made between both parties in some previous existence. Bali is challenging all of us who are drawn to this mysterious island, whether born here, living or visiting, to become conscious filters - likened to molecules of healing light, energy and intention - within the liver system, in order to bring about a sure and positive transformation of Mother Earths being through our very own Being. So be the best you can be. In love and light Annie Franjie Pannie published by Sophie Digby The Yak Magazine Jl.
