Podcast - 'How to Die Happy' with Peter McIntosh

Greg Chambers

If you found out you had five minutes left to live, what ten things would be on your list of regrets?

In the ‘How To Die Happy’ podcast, co-hosts Martin O'Toole and Julia Malcolmson explore humankind's pursuit of happiness, our irrational fear of death, and everything in between.
This week’s podcast features our very own Pyramids of Chi Co-Founder, Peter McIntosh!

In episode 12 of the How To Die Happy podcast, Martin & Jules visit Bali's famous sound healing centre, the Pyramids of Chi.

When Peter and Lynn McIntosh, a retired Australian couple, declared they were building a couple of pyramids in the rice paddies outside Ubud in central Bali, there were a few raised eyebrows. Now, this amazing sound healing centre is a highlight for all Bali visitors and residents wanting to immerse themselves in the practice of sound healing.

Martin & Jules speak to Peter about the mysteries of the pyramids, healing frequencies, and more. The session concludes with an interview and live sound healing demonstration with Pyramids of Chi Sound Practitioner, Jordan Humphries.

New event - Elixir of the Gods - Blue Lotus Equinox Ceremony

Greg Chambers

In Celebration of the Equinox, we welcome you to an evening of intentional ceremony at the Pyramids:

- Receive a blessing with temple incense
- Let go of what no longer serves you, in a fire ritual
- Tune into your heartfelt intentions to create balance in your life
- Taste of & journey with the sacred Blue Lotus flower, served as a ceremonial tea
- Harmonize your energy field through activating the healing vibrations in your voice
- Deeply relax, dream and surrender in a cosmic Sound Healing journey.

Equinox:
An Equinox is one of two days in the year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, meaning that both halves of the Earth are receiving the Sun’s rays equally, and so day and night, light and dark, are of equal length. It signifies a time of Balance and Equilibrium and as such has been revered to and celebrated in many traditions around the Globe.

Depending on what Hemisphere you’re in, and the time of year, the Equinox marks the entrance into either Spring or Autumn. In Bali, the September Equinox marks the entrance into Spring and times on the 23rd at 03.21 am. To not make this a midnight event, we decided to celebrate the Equinox on the preceding evening of 22 Sep 5 -7 pm.

The Equinox is a powerful time to tap into the wisdom of the Earth, the light of the Sun, our profound connection with Source, and the entire Cosmos. This Equinox also marks the start of Libra season in our Zodiac calendar, the sign of Balance and Harmony. It is a potent time to clear stagnated energy, clarify our vision, and make up Balance in our lives. We warmly welcome you at the Pyramids to activate, anchor & illuminate this cosmic potential.

Blue Lotus (Nymphaea Caerulea):
Native to Ancient Egypt, the Blue Lotus Flower was considered Sacred and to represent spiritual rebirth and life force energy. This majestic Flower was used in Temple Ceremonies for blessing, anointing, healing and meditation.

Served as a ceremonial Tea, (a slightly sweet & golden liquid that reminds one of melted amber) the Blue Lotus flower warms your body with a light euphoric glow and allows you to access deeper parts of your subconscious. A gentle Dream Herb and Aphrodisiac, the Blue Lotus Flower has Balancing Healing properties, particularly in the areas of circulation, immune system & reproductive organs. It nourishes, restores & rejuvenates our Chi (vital flowing energy), soothes the nervous system, and opens the pathways to inner vision.

Cost = Rp300k ($21USD)
Wednesday, September 22. 5pm - 7pm

Your host:
This Journey is offered to you by Eva Aourah, founder of True Nature Elements. Eva offers Healing & Coaching Facilitation through Yoga, Nature, Voice, Frequency Therapy and Sound Healing Harmonics.

New event - Sonic Enchantment

Greg Chambers

with Fabio Garces via live-link from Sweden

Sonic Enchantment is a unique sound journey, beautifully integrating sacred sounds, shamanic practices, binaural frequencies, and modern music technology to bring you into a deeply meditative and restorative state of consciousness.

With over 10 years’ experience in the field, Fabio Garces is one of the pioneers of this work and has built a loyal following while creating a truly unique and transformational experience. Now based in Sweden, Fabio will connect with Pyramids of Chi via a live link to transmit his healing frequencies. This unique concept has achieved incredible success at wellness festivals around the globe.

Sonic Enchantment is a live musical and multi-sensory experience which brings listeners on a journey through the mind, body, and soul.

Mixing old world and new world technology, the resulting effect serves to create personal experiences that span a wide range of transformative benefits such as restoration and the re-emergence of balance and inner calm.

Merging a background in music production, sound design and a personal journey with meditation practices from around the world, Fabio Garces has spent the last decade researching and developing this project.

Exploring the field of cymatics, acoustic therapies, solfeggio frequencies and ancient Egyptian, Tibetan, South American, Central American, and shamanic sound healing practices, he has developed an approach combining modern acoustic technology with ancient sound healing.

Fabio’s sounds will be amplified by the power of the Earth Pyramid where guests will connect with themselves, others, and the ever-present magical energy of Bali.

Using ancient instruments such as large gongs, drums, Tibetan singing bowls, Didgeridoo, Native American flute, bells, chimes, and the human voice they will take you on a sound journey that may affect you emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. It is a magical and ethereal experience.

Finally, for those who choose, we will come together in circle to drink a heart opening, ceremonial cacao while connecting and sharing the experiences of the evening together.

So come with open hearts and minds as we connect our communities in this beautiful paradise called Ubud.
