My Bali Journey and my Gratitude

A New Beginning Out of Love – My Journey Back to Myself

Sometimes, life leads us down paths we never could have foreseen—paths filled with realizations, love, and challenges. My journey to Bali was exactly such a path—not just a journey to sacred temples, but a journey deep into my own inner self.

From the very moment I first met Ida Rishi, I knew this was an extraordinary encounter. I clearly remember how he greeted me with a warm smile and confidently said "Jai Hanuman." In that instant, I felt seen—not just as a traveler but as someone who carries a deep connection to Hanuman's energy within. This meeting touched me to the core, as it reflected what I had long felt inside: strength, devotion, and the willingness to walk my path with courage and love.

As I traveled through Bali's sacred temples, I became increasingly aware that there was something I needed to let go of. I realized that I needed to step away from my previous business—not because it was wrong, but because it no longer fulfilled me completely. The ceremonies, deep meditations, and encounters on this journey helped me accept this truth. It wasn't a decision of the mind, but a decision of the heart.

Yet amid all these realizations, one thought constantly accompanied me: my wife. I thought about how she has always supported me on my path, even when it wasn't easy for her. How she gave me the space to grow and evolve, even when it meant that I had to change. She has accepted me with all my highs and lows, has strengthened me, and given me trust in moments of uncertainty. Through this journey, I became even more aware of how deeply I love her, how profound my gratitude for her is, and how important it is to never take this love for granted.

Bali has shown me what truly matters: love, gratitude, and the courage to stay true to one's own path. I am not just returning from a journey, but I am stepping into a new chapter of my life. I am letting go of what no longer belongs to me so that I can fully dedicate myself to my true calling—my practice, my work as a therapist, my mission to help people on their path.

This decision is not easy, but it feels right. It comes from the deepest source of my being. Because, in the end, it's not about what we own or achieve—but about whether we follow our hearts.

And on this journey, my heart has shown me the way.
