On Feb 15, 2019, exactly 3 years ago, I joined an incredible and life-changing program called Awaken the Divine You (ATDY) conducted by Master Umesh H. Nandwani and organized by The Golden Space Indonesia, a global wellness organization.🔥

Joining this program, classes, and events at the Golden Space has brought many blessings into my life. Thank you for introducing me to MEDITATION, a super powerful tool that I have been using for the past 3 years for healing, transforming, and growing. 🥰

Thank you, Cindy Gozali, for your trust, and The Golden Space Global team for publishing my first writing outside my blog on 2-2-2022 on your website: “The Power of Meditation: Changing Lives and the World by “Doing Nothing”. 🥳

This story is written as a gift from and for the Golden Space (TGS) and dedicated to Master Umesh, all the Masters/practitioners at TGS, fellow students, and the TGS family as a whole. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. I Love You. I Love You. I Love You. ❤️‍🔥

Thank you, my lovely friend and mentor, Lily Manoharan, for sharing about ALIVE FEST! 😘Thank you, my amazing writing mentor and editor, Barry Bearak. 🤗 Thank you, my mentor and special first reader, Bagia Arif Saputra.😘😘

“It all started by “doing nothing”. It all started by sitting down and closing my eyes. It all started with the daily practice of meditation. So, take my hand and join me on this incredible journey. Together we can heal the world by simply “doing nothing”. The nothing that has become everything.”

The Wisdom of Past Lives

  Photo Credit: Canva Although I was registered as a Buddhist, I didn't fully believe in past life and reincarnation. I was so depressed and tired all the time that the idea of having to live again exhausted me. But that all changed when I started seeing a past life in a meditation.    The Past During my first past life regression meditation, I saw myself as a mermaid. I laughed and brushed it off, thinking it was simply my imagination. Mermaids were mythical creatures, so they couldn't truly exist. But something odd happened afterward. After that meditation, I started seeing mermaid signs everywhere. From a mermaid movie trailer showing on TV at the Laundromat when I was in line to drop my laundry, seeing a mermaid book as I queued to pay at a bookstore that I reluctantly also ended up buying, someone at the office wearing a jumper with mermaid writing on it to Nyai Loro Kidul (the mythical Queen of the South Sea) massive billboard on the road. After two weeks of persis...

The Journey to Self-Love

My Wedding Ring “Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.” – Mary Oliver Loving myself was once very difficult. When I was a child, my mom told me that my dad and my paternal grandma didn’t come to see my arrival to this world immediately because I was born a girl, instead of the expected boy, a gender that was highly valued in my Chinese family. I understand that my mom just needed to vent her anger and disappointment. But as a child, the programming that I got was that I was not worthy of love for being female.

But ironically during adulthood, I became a feminist, had a lot of judgement towards men, felt jealous for their privileges, and really struggled living in a highly patriarchal society. Most of my friends were strong inspirational ladies and at one p...

Ahimsa Wellness Sanctuary

  The Flying Golden Warrior  Many times, we let fear stop us from doing what we truly want. When the calling for Ahimsa came to me last year, I paused. Then, I announced to the universe through my writings that I would do it. The new year came, and I hesitated. What if I don’t get any students? What if I can’t pay the teachers? What will happen to Ahimsa if I decide to move from Jambi? What if a new virus stops the operation? Luckily, I remembered excellent advice from Master Umesh H. Nandwani. JFDI. Just Fucking Do It! And so, I do.  On this very special day, 22-02-2022, I am humbled and happy to share my new creation: Ahimsa Wellness Sanctuary.  Ahimsa Wellness Sanctuary shares the sacred practices of Yoga, Meditation, and Qigong. It is a safe space for healing, learning, and growing your mind, body, soul, and spirit using the ancient wisdom from India and China to embrace a healthy, joyful, and purposeful life.  Ahimsa, a Sanskrit word, means respect for ...
