Today I decided I am not going to bother Ina. After all in Ubud there are plenty of choices. So I decided to go back to Kardashian Cafe & Spa. I have been there a few time as you can see from the pictures below. Before it has always to have a lunch or breakfast al fresco over the koi pond, with a beautiful view of the rice fields. But this time I went straight to the spa for an hour Reiki Chakra balance treatment. Chakras are the energy centres in our bodies that spin and distribute our prana / chi / essential life force. The practitioner name was Kade. Again I was able to get in a deep state of relaxation. This time I felt less pain and when I turned around, facing down,  that was the best part. I feel so lucky to have found this source of healing.

I came to Ubud just by chance, following Dian’s suggestion and I fell in love with the place almost instantaneously.  The first day we went for lunch to Sari Organik, a quite a popular place here thanks to TripAdvisor. The restaurant is located 20 minutes walk  up on Subak Sok-Wayah, a small path not accessible to cars in the middle of rice field terraces.  Many tourists come to see this area because of the amazing sceneries, the quite surroundings and unspoiled landscape. I came as a tourist too but very quickly decided to move here. I saw a small house with the “for rent” sign and quickly made a deal with the owner and few days later I moved in.  I love the countryside and I grew up in house in the middle of corn and wheat fields, so it brought back some childhood memories. I felt some good vibe in this place and the villa was pretty cheap: only 12 dollars a day. I thought it was the right place to settle at least for a while. I needed to relax and get some peace in my life after what happened in Singapore. I was not in the mood to stay in the crowded and noisy area of Bali and if I missed the beach I could always go there for a short trip.
