We shall be be returning home all squeaky clean after our Bali Cleansing Ceremony at the sea Temple.
As a group at sunrise we were dressed in sarongs and sash and bring offerings of fruit flowers and incense to the temple. Quite the process, whereby the priest washes temple objects using the holy water and sea water, flowers and incense. Then we were cleansed being sprinkled with holy water ready to make our way to the sea side. The offerings are made to the God of the Sea and we waded into the ocean for oppprtunity to submerge, cleanse, release and renew!
Afterwards we sat on the waters edge to have spring water washed over our heads (c c cold) and we drink the fresh water.
Outfit change into dry sarong and sash to enter a temple to receive a final blessing, given holy water to drink, eat a rice kernel and rice was placed on our forehead and throat by priest.
A very nice experience 🌅🌸🙏🏻
