Ilze Madalena Kļaviņa

Hi, my name is Ilze Madalena Kļaviņa and my story begins in a small countryside house in Latvia. I have always been a daydreamer, sparkling and communicative, open to the miracles of life. However, life has not only miracles but also lessons. The question is in our awareness.

Ever since I remember myself I have been spiritual — I could not explain things, but I felt that there is something that is guiding us, call it God or any other name. So I chose to look deeper, becoming a Christian at age 13, reading the Bible at age 20, in order to arrive at a place I call honesty — to follow the truth that is within.

Surely, it's a journey of mistakes, shadows leading us away from the path of truth, fears that make us at times choose what's working against us. However, I believe that all of the experiences are valuable, and the timing is right when we are ready for it.

And so it happened that after half a decade of struggles, I decided to go to Bali. It surely was a turning point in my life, though I could not imagine it would be like it did. On my first trip, while still in the airplane, I felt a strange sensation — I felt like I had landed home.

In a couple of days I had my birthday, and I had booked a session with an energy healer. And yes, it was Hang. A day before my birthday, I received a message from him saying he hadn't eaten for a couple of days and was planning to have some food at a Japanese restaurant, if I would like to join. It was a pleasant surprise. I agreed. That evening we talked about life, he told me his story, while walking in a rainy Ubud.

The next day was my session with Hang, as well as my birthday. I was so nervous, I could not explain that feeling to myself. The session is something I still remember vaguely, though the sensation of "I am breathing!" is something that has stayed, and forever will stay, with me. After the session we sat down and had some tea and fruits, and we just talked — until Hang said: "I am going to India in a couple of days, would you like to join me?" I did not expect that, and felt my fears rising, so I refused.

Days passed, and I went to stay a couple of nights in the jungle. And there, in the sounds of nature, with no internet connection, I heard my loud inner voice saying: "Yes, go to India!"

Mama India, where Hang took me by the hand and put me directly onto the meditation path. Yes, I know what bliss means — not only did we connect as souls who have known each other for a truly long time, but also the path started to open up.

Though it was not as smooth as one would have wanted. After India I returned to Europe, Hang to Bali, and we parted to each deal with our own karmic ties.

While back in Europe, I felt it was time for me to deepen my relationship with myself and leave the continent — yes, the island was calling me to do the work that needed to be done. I landed in Bali in November, leaving behind life in Europe and, in some ways, friends and family too. And a new chapter started.

While Hang was still figuring out his karma, I had a field of inner work to be done. On the path I met my teachers who showed me the "Matrix of Destiny" numerology system, which resonated with me — so later I became a consultant too, and now I share this knowledge not only through consultation but also by teaching consultants to work with this method.

Meanwhile, Hang and I were meant to be. Though neither of us thought it would happen — hmm, maybe he did, since he could see much further than a normal human being can — we became a couple.

Hang was my partner, and together we created this "baby" of ours that is now taking its first steps. It is a very special moment, and I feel Hang gaining more and more peace energetically, as we grow our Cherry Blossom Tea House.
