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 March Equinox marks the entrance into Autumn. 

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 Aries season, and the beginning of a new zodiac year. It is a potent time to clear stagnated energy, clarify our vision, spark our creative fire (Aries) 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.

Date & Time: March 19, 5 - 7 pm
Cost
: IDR300,000 (was IDR400,000)

New event - Magic Forest Sound Ceremony

Greg Chambers

Sounds of Nature, Sacred Songs, Healing Frequencies Immersion, Intentional Journey, Herbal Tea, Deep Peace

This is a story about the sacred spaces within you…

Hi, I’m Sunlight, your host on this journey.

20 years ago, I left a busy lifestyle in a big city and moved to a lush forest inside a National Park in Brazil for almost one year.

Retreated from the world, high up in the mountains, I found myself more alive and full of joy again.

Nature’s medicines were like heaven on Earth - the sun, the river, the fresh air, the trees, that peace…

No running against time, no busy agenda, no survival stress… only the present moment and a feeling that was the real me.

My wish is to bring you this same gift through a profound musical journey inside the Pyramid of the Earth, at Pyramids of Chi, Ubud.

The Magic Forest is the sacred force that dissolves illusions and enhances your vision. It’s the safe container where you will clear away the noise from modern life and tune back into your healthy natural state of harmony - the REAL YOU.

Ready to See Through Your Real Eyes?

How is the flow?

Firstly, it’s important to understand this is a musical journey that will spark imagery in your minds eye prompted by guidance from Leo Sunlight. The journey will be received mostly while laying on a comfortable mattress to aid in your relaxation.

Our journey begins with a gentle forest sound & gong immersion, so you will be resting in deeper states of consciousness right away.

From there, we allow our imagination to transport us around the fire. Purify your mind and heart as you offer old limitations to be carried away.

Then, we connect to the ancient tree of souls - like in the Avatar movie. Be open to the guidance and revelations from the Great Spirit.

Next is our water blessing ritual, when we cross the river of change. You are now awakening your inner wisdom and ready for a shift in your life.

At last, under the open skies on the top of the sacred mountain, we will do a quantum prayer. You become the creator. What you see is what you get.

So come. Surrender. Recharge. Remember.

The wind, the birds, the gongs, the songs will be there to support you.

What to expect?

  • Enjoy a special chi-activated herbal tea (caffeine-free)
  • Lie down and be immersed in the soothing sounds of nature and powerful healing instruments
  • Find heart & mind deep peace inside the pyramids
  • Sing with us and shift your emotional vibration
  • Cover your eyes and see with no boundaries!
  • A highly therapeutic and inspiring journey

The Magic Forest Sound Ceremony is a living entity! Come and feel the healing power of the natural frequencies!

Magic Forest Sound Ceremony
5pm – Friday’s
120mins
Rp250k ($18USD)

New consultation - Tibetan Bowl Sound Healing

Greg Chambers

Session schedule = 10am - Tue & Wed / 1pm, 3pm, 5pm - Fri & Sat

This treatment is a deeply relaxing and healing massage of sound, using uniquely hand-crafted Tibetan style Sound Healing Bowls that are placed on the body to deliver their vibrational medicine.

These Tibetan Sound Healing Bowls are hand-crafted by an amazingly talented Balinese priest who chants Mantra into them whilst beating and shaping by hand and once created, the bowls are blessed. Each bowl is different and unique, with its own character specific to a particular chakra. They are designed to be placed on the body on specific chakra regions and when struck by a felt mallet they deliver a deep vibration and resonance. The healing sounds of the Gong, Singing Bowls and Chimes are also incorporated in this treatment. The sound vibrations will gently flow into the body, affecting the structure and health of cells and organs. This sound massage has an immediate beneficial effect to the body as it brings the vibrating cells back to a natural harmonious state.

Being bathed in the harmonious sounds, vibrations and rich overtones takes you into a deep state of relaxation and recovery, where you may gain insights, clarity, and enhanced creativity. The healing process throughout the treatment includes balancing, diagnosing, and enhancing the chakras. The treatment has shown a remarkable and swift improvement in many cases with physical ailments, mental and emotional pain. Pain melts away and the recipient feels that emotional heaviness caused by stress, anxiety or depression is lifted, resulting in a feeling of pleasant lightness. The energy body, the aura, is cleared and refreshed. The treatment is complemented with essential oils to bring you gently back to the present.

As the recipient, all you need to do is lie-down, listen, receive, and enjoy!

You will also receive a follow-up with chakra specific mini-breathworks and affirmations to help with integration. These are sent to you by WhatsApp within 24 hours of your treatment.

Please wear comfortable clothes for the treatment (ideally no buckles, zips etc), and avoid eating within an hour before the session.

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.
