Eat Pray Love Your Way Around Ubud

The introduction of the film Eat Pray Love starring Julia Roberts this particular August will certainly begin a lot of ladies thinking about whatever they really want from daily life and if they are happy with the current situation of theirs. The film is a real story based on the memoirs of exactly the same title by Elizabeth Gilbert. Gilbert escapes an unhappy marital life & travels to Italy, India and Indonesia in an effort to find real balance and harmony in her life physically, emotionally and spiritually.


It is in Bali, Indonesia that the story is wrapped upwards - Liz finally finds calmness within herself and after six weeks of self imposed abstinence, finds true love in the shape of Filipe - a Brazilian ex pat who later becomes her husband.


In reality folks have already been turning to Bali for physical and mental relaxation and spiritual enlightenment for the island and many years is the best place for anybody looking for a relaxing holiday balanced with a few real food for the soul. Bali sells everything that you'd expect coming from a tropical holiday destination - beautiful white sand beaches, food that is fantastic and drink, accommodation which range from easy inexpensive bungalows to 5 star resorts and there is definitely no lack of sightseeing opportunities.


Some people choose just to treat the island as an excellent place to get a beach holiday however, it's so much more to offer. The Balinese people follow a devout kind of Hinduism and this immensely important part of daily life is impossible to ignore within the 1000s of temples that dot the island and the daily offering ritual that may be found anywhere on the island. This good culture and religion provides the perfect backdrop for any person searching for a spiritual escape.

As well as attending temple ceremonies and getting to understand the locals (who are much more than pleased to involve outsiders in their culture), visitors to Bali is able to engage in yoga and meditation classes both when they feel like it and even on a full time yoga retreat. There are many yoga and meditation schools across the island but the best selection is usually to be found in Ubud - the same village where Liz spent the time of her in the book.
