July 2007 - Karma Yoga is Helping Others Help Themselves
...... by supporting Bumi Sehat Bali, a clinic that guides mothers to gentle births both in Bali and in the tsunami detroyed province of Aceh, North Sumatra.
The Goal of Bumi Sehat
is conflict resolution & peace
building,
one mother,
one
baby & one family at a time. This month, Balispirit profiles Bumi Sehat, a local foundation of committed families and international teachers, midwives, doctors, nurses and volunteers working to advocate for the reproductive rights of marginalized, low-income women throughout Bali and Aceh. In Bali the organisation has helped achieve a higher standard of maternal and child health through culturally sensitive prenatal & postpartum birth services and through support for breast feeding. Its Ubud clinic is constant hive of activity, providing much-needed free assistance to hundreds of local women and families each week. Bumi Sehat needs assistance, read what Ibu Robin, founder & head midwife has to say:
"We lost a baby on June 3rd, a first child to a shockingly poor family. As something was very wrong I took him into Neonatal intensive care. X-rays showed he had multiple birth defects of his bones and his poor heart was not strong enough to maintain his life. Little Putu lived 9 hours.... I feel angry at POVERTY.
Our situation at Bumi Sehat is getting a little desperate as we have enough in the bank to support the Aceh and the Bali clinics for exactly 3 more months. The problem with grants is that the Tsunami is not in the news, so no one has the inspiration to fund the Aceh clinic. The bombings in Bali have destroyed the economy here, but no one really feels how profoundly this effects pregnant women and new mothers."
July & August are often prosperous times to relax and enjoy time off; take a moment to see how you can share your gifts with others who are in need.
To make a contribution to Bumi Sehat Bali, see details below.
Blessings from
Meghan, Kadek & the Balispirit Team!

Your mind-blowing Balinese yoga adventure begins when you’re greeted at Denpasar airport and whisked to Ubud, the cultural center of Bali. Your beautiful Ubud bungalow will be waiting for you along with a spa voucher. There you can soothe your jet lagged muscles with a massage, herb scrub and flower bath. Then, you’ll be ready for your ten-day adventure.
Sarah will offer a strong vinyasa flow & movement class every morning. Her style is based on traditional Astanga poses, infused with creativity. Be prepared to see new angles of yourself and move organically. Some mornings we will practice to the birds singing and other mornings to groovy music. Sarah melts her challenging class together so that you feel energized and relaxed by savasana. The afternoon class will be a time of reflection, yin yoga and self-inquiry.
Your co-host Patrick acts as your guide and counselor on the trip. Patrick has lived in Bali part time for the past 13 years. He speaks the language, knows special people and places and treats you like royalty. You are in good hands from beginning to end. This promises to be a fun and life changing experience.

Aug 3-11, 2007- Daily Classes & Individual Sessions
Chrysalis, New Beginnings, is a very unique, wholistic program of vibrational alignment for both emotional and physical rejuvenation through medium of crystal sound.
Crystal bowls composed of silicon quartz are highly effective instruments for sound therapy because they produce pure vibrations of the octave. This complete octave of crystal retunes us to the deep pulse of mother earth that has a natural harmony. It's an acoustic source of sound that helps us arrive into the resonance and memory of our being as pure tone and radiance. Through the purity of this tone we are reconnected to our original pattern of harmony.
Group Sessions US$35, Individual Sessions US$100 for 2hrs.
For more information see: http://www.bali3000.com/crystalsound/index2.html
