Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Bali to hold int'l yoga festival

"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Bali to hold int'l yoga festival

Ni Komang Erviani, THE JAKARTA POST, DENPASAR | Fri, 02/27/2009 2:49 PM | Bali

The Bali India Foundation will hold an international yoga festival from March 3-10 that will feature some 100 yoga practitioners from Indonesia and overseas, including from India, Germany, Sweden and the United States.

The festival will be spread out over the island, with events taking place in the capital Denpasar, Bangli, Klungkung and Ubud, as well as sessions held at the foundation office.

"Bali is believed to be the best place in the world to practice yoga," Bali India Foundation chairman Somvir said Thursday.

"This event will also promote Bali as a destination of spiritual tourism."

The festival will not only involve yoga practitioners and enthusiasts but also artists and intellectuals who will discuss various issues related to yoga.

Various seminars will be held on yoga-related themes such as the arts, beauty, ecology, health, lifestyle, peace, pluralism and philosophy.

The festival also aims to answer a controversy following a fatwa or edict issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) banning the practicing of yoga that contains Hindu chants.

MUI head of research Salman Harun has already confirmed his attendance to discuss the edict declaring yoga haram (forbidden).

"We will hold a special seminar to discuss yoga from an Islamic perspective," Somvir said.

The festival will kick off at the Bali People's Struggle Monument on March 3 with a yoga parade.

Tourism industry analyst Nyoman Sirtha said the yoga festival would strengthen the image of Bali as a spiritual tourism destination.
