Traditional Balinese Dancing
As part of religious expression among Balinese people, they perform these very ancient traditional dances. Take note as their eyes open really wide and they shake their shoulders.
IDA MAHA RESI ALIT-High Priestess of Bali-Water Purification Iva Miteva
Third part of my initiation: “Whatever you feel, like let it go. Let it all go. If you want to cry, if you want to shout, stomp your feet, whatever.”
Ida Panditha Mpu Budha Mahaseri Alit Parama Daksa, also known as Ida Resi Alit, was born I Komang Widiantri on March 14, 1986, in a small farming village in the central highlands of Bali. She lived as an ordinary girl for the first twenty years of her life. At the age of 20, due to external events, she fell into a deep depression. Ida Resi Alit’s uncle, a village Mangku, concerned for her wellbeing, introduced her to meditation and yoga to soothe her. As she started practicing, the girl who had no previous spiritual training or deep desire, began to have out of body experiences and download information during her practice. She was instructed to perform a special ceremony, the meaning of which she did not understand. At the ceremony she fell into deep unconsciousness. She stopped breathing and her pulse was gone. Her family wailed, crying and reacting hysterically, scared that she had died. Ida Resi Alit has no memory of this time. At 2am she started to regain consciousness, to be able to blink but not to talk. Then she saw a laser, like a bolt of lightning in the sky, and found herself able to fully return to her body. She slept until the afternoon and when she had awakened spiritually. Soon after she was ordained by the highest authority, the Hindu Dharma Council, and she became Bali’s youngest and only High Priestess.
Ida Resi Alit is preparing for the world stage. Other such figures, Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese and of the peace movement, the Dalai Lama of Tibet or Eckhart Tolle, have large groups around them who help spread their teaching and report back to the masters. Ida Resi Alit maintains that all knowledge is available and in every single one of us at any moment, if we so choose to feel it and enjoy our limitless power as we are connected to all.
