Escape Stress in Bali: Exploring COMO Shambhala Estate

The Essence Of Place overview

Sleep for me is not always a relief. When my mind abstracts itself into a mess of stress, my body simply wants to shut down — no reflection or resolution, just fatigue and bad dreams. At home, I’d been having trouble oversleeping. I was even missing alarms to do things I usually enjoy, my needs divided from my actions.

Important details from the source

• When my mind abstracts itself into a mess of stress, my body simply wants to shut down — no reflection or resolution, just fatigue and bad dreams.
• At home, I’d been having trouble oversleeping.
• I was even missing alarms to do things I usually enjoy, my needs divided from my actions.
• In Bali, from the backseat of the sedan, I lose a train of thought to the sounds of my friends crunching lemongrass-turmeric cashews, barking bright-eyed stray dogs and muffled car horns.
• It doesn’t bother me, because we are headed somewhere I should finally be able to escape disruption.
• COMO Shambhala Estate is a resort in a nine-hectare pocket of land between two mighty rivers: Bayad and Ayung.
• Impatient and easily agitated, I reveal myself as the youngest in our group when I childishly ask Arta, the driver, ‘Are we there yet?’.
• He smiles at me in the rearview mirror as he assures us it is ‘Just around the corner’.
• It becomes a running joke as we turn many more corners, weaving deeper into the island interior, and still don’t arrive.
• By the time our stay ends, I’ll understand the strength of a slow reveal — a secret eager to be told, but at its own pace.
