Enchanting Journey at Velassaru, Maldives
For the past two months, I had the immense pleasure of being a visiting wellness practitioner at the stunning Velassaru Resort in the Maldives. It was a journey that filled my heart with unforgettable memories, meaningful connections, and profound experiences. I am excited to share this incredible chapter of my life with you.
The Magical Island and Its Beautiful People
From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the enchanting beauty of Velassaru. The island’s pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery created a serene backdrop that instantly felt like paradise. The warmth and hospitality of the people I met added an extra layer of magic to my stay. The resort staff, the guests, and especially the spa team welcomed me with open arms and hearts, making me feel at home in this tropical haven.
Nature’s Majesty and the Power of the Ocean
Living on an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean is an experience like no other. The power and tranquility of the ocean were constant reminders of nature’s majesty. I found peace in the rhythmic sound of the waves and the vibrant marine life that surrounded the atoll. Watching the sunset over the ocean each evening was a daily ritual that never lost its awe-inspiring charm.
Meaningful Relationships with the Spa Team
One of the highlights of my time at Velassaru was the meaningful relationships I formed with the spa manager and the entire spa team. Their dedication to wellness and their genuine care for each guest was truly inspiring. Together, we created a harmonious environment that was both nurturing and rejuvenating. Collaborating with such a passionate and talented team enriched my experience and made every day a joy.
Teaching Yoga on the Beach
There is something incredibly special about teaching yoga on the beach, with the sound of the waves and the soft sand beneath your feet. The energy of the ocean combined with the peaceful ambiance of Velassaru provided the perfect setting for my yoga classes. Guiding guests through their practice in such a beautiful environment was both rewarding and transformative.
Full Moon Meditations
One of the most magical experiences was guiding full moon meditation sessions. Under the light of the full moon, guests and I would gather on the beach while sharks and mantas swam gracefully in the illuminated waters. These sessions were a blend of serenity and wonder, creating a deep sense of connection to the universe and to each other.
Connecting with Guests from Around the World
Over these two months, I had the privilege of connecting with many guests from all over the world. Each person brought their unique energy and stories, enriching my experience and teaching me so much. Whether through yoga, meditation, or wellness consultations, I was grateful for the opportunity to touch so many lives and to be touched by theirs in return.
Shamanic Drum Journey Sessions
Another highlight was conducting shamanic drum journey sessions in a treatment room over the water. Surrounded by the most amazing marine megafauna, the setting was perfect for these deep, spiritual journeys. The sound of the drum combined with the gentle lapping of the water created a powerful, meditative state that resonated with everyone who participated. These sessions were profoundly moving, offering a unique way to connect with nature and our inner selves.
A Heart Full of Cherished Memories
My time at Velassaru has filled my heart with cherished memories that I will forever hold dear. The enchanting island, the wonderful people, and the incredible experiences have left an indelible mark on my soul. As I leave this paradise, I carry with me a deep sense of gratitude and a heart full of love for the journey I have been on.
Velassaru, you have been a dream come true.
Thank you for the unforgettable moments and the lasting connections.
Until we meet again.
With love
