The pyramids of chi and the power of sound healing in Ubud

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The pyramids of chi in Ubud is more than a wellness center. It is a carefully crafted space designed to help visitors reconnect with themselves through sound, vibration, breathwork, and intentional community.

From the moment you step inside, you can feel the shift in energy. The pace slows. The mind quiets. The body begins to release tension you didn’t even know you were holding.

A vision turned into reality

Founded by peter and lynn, a retired couple who followed a vision they received while traveling, the pyramids of chi opened in march 2017. Inspired by sacred geometry and ancient healing practices, they created two large pyramid structures modeled on the proportions of the great pyramids of giza.

One pyramid is aligned with the moon and focuses on ancient sound instruments like gongs and didgeridoos. The other represents the sun and hosts dynamic sound journeys that incorporate breathwork, rhythm, and deeper states of awareness.

The space is intentionally designed so that sound travels evenly throughout, creating a full-body resonance that affects each guest differently.

What to expect during a sound healing session

A typical session at the pyramids lasts around ninety minutes. You lie down on a comfortable mat inside one of the pyramids while skilled practitioners guide you through a sound journey using traditional instruments.

Gongs, drums, singing bowls, and chimes create vibrations that gently shift your brainwaves, bringing you from a busy, thinking state into deep relaxation or even a meditative trance. Other sounds mimic rain, wind, birds, or jungle sounds, blurring the line between inner and outer experience.

Everyone responds differently. Some guests fall asleep. Others cry. Many report a sense of peace, emotional release, or clarity. All reactions are welcome. The facilitators gently encourage you to surrender to the process and simply observe what arises.

Moon ceremonies and sacred gatherings

The pyramids of chi also hosts full moon and new moon ceremonies. These special events bring together intention setting, sound, breath, movement, and sometimes cacao or fire rituals. They are held in community and are especially powerful for those seeking emotional renewal or energetic release.

The ceremonies help you reconnect to natural rhythms and can feel deeply grounding. They are open to everyone, whether it is your first time experiencing energy work or you’ve been practicing for years.

The café and community space

At the entrance to the center is the pyramids café, a relaxed space where guests gather before or after their sessions. The café offers nourishing meals, herbal teas, desserts, and fresh juices. The menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Ingredients are locally sourced and thoughtfully prepared.

There is no Wi-Fi. This is intentional. The space encourages genuine presence and connection. It is common to strike up a conversation with a stranger, share reflections after a session, or simply sit in quiet contemplation while overlooking the gardens and symbolic artworks that surround the property.

Why visit the Pyramids of Chi

If you are seeking more than just relaxation, if you want to release old energy, feel held in a sacred space, or explore sound healing for the first time, this is a place to experience it. Whether you attend a daily sound journey, a moon ceremony, or simply stop in for tea, the pyramids of chi invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and return to yourself.

Final thoughts

My visit to the pyramids of chi in august 2024 left me feeling clear, grounded, and inspired. I attended both a sound journey and a moon ceremony and found both to be welcoming and transformative.

If you are visiting Bali and feel called to go deeper into your inner world, this is one of Ubud’s most unique and soul-nourishing places to do so.
