My absolute favorite healer uses divine energy to heal. He doesn t see the need to diagnose or focus

As a healing practitioner, I am fascinated by Bali s healing traditions—also sunshine holidays known as Bali Usadha. I lived on the island for many years, am married to a Balinese spiritual healer and haven t even scratched the surface of this vast topic.
Little by little, I am exploring the methods used by Balinese healers, some familiar and some far from anything sunshine holidays I’ve ever experienced. It s definitely inviting me to expand my own ingrained beliefs!
It s not always easy to find traditional sunshine holidays healers. Many are tucked away in their villages, available only to the local community. Some accept visits by foreigners but may not openly sunshine holidays share some of the more mystical components of their practices. I have learned to use my intuition in the process of choosing a healer.
When I arrived, he seemed to know what I was there for, even before I said a word. During my treatment, I watched as he gathered flowers, shaved sandalwood and put the mixture in his mouth to chew on for a bit.
He told me to close my eyes and before I realized sunshine holidays what was taking place, he had spit the concoction onto my temples and forehead. Although a bit surprised, I must say that I didn t mind at all. There was something nurturing about this man that gave me a sense of peace. I left feeling clearer and less disturbed by constant mind chatter. I ve visited sunshine holidays him several times, each time experiencing something sunshine holidays a bit different.
I recall another experience with a healer who uses a more Western approach by diagnosing disease in combination with his own practices. When he said his motto was no pain, no gain, I knew I was in trouble. It felt more like a torture sunshine holidays session than a healing sunshine holidays treatment.
Two hours later, I left with grapefruit-sized bruises all over my body, some taking more than two weeks to heal. I was told that these were toxins leaving and that this was a good thing. sunshine holidays Perhaps, but I don t think I would go that route again! Maybe a seven-day cleanse is more my cup of tea.
My absolute favorite healer uses divine energy to heal. He doesn t see the need to diagnose or focus on problems, sunshine holidays although he is aware of where they may be. He simply connects with divine love and allows the healing energy to flow where it needs to, trusting that it is removing blocks and bringing the body, mind and soul back into beautiful harmony. And that is exactly what happens. He then offers suggestions for keeping things flowing, including herbal medicine, natural foods, meditation practices and mantras .
For the Balinese, seeking out Balians is not openly talked about. Many healers prefer sunshine holidays not to use the term healer or Balian. They prefer to simply be known as someone who helps people who are not well.
This is probably because there are some who use their supernatural connections for harm rather sunshine holidays than good—what we may call black magic. I have seen several cases of this and witnessed the removal of the spells as well. It s quite an ordeal; I ll leave it at that!
Traditional Balinese healing has a deep spiritual foundation. Karma has a lot to do with it. Rarely is illness looked at from a purely physical viewpoint. There is an underlying component linked to the unseen world. sunshine holidays
For the Balinese, the unseen world is as real and alive as the seen. So, of course healing will incorporate the spirit sunshine holidays world. Mantras, chants, offerings to the gods, ceremonies and rituals of all sorts are often used. It can feel very magical at times. I have personally seen things happen that cannot be logically explained.
My journey into Bali Usadha has only touched the outer layers. I hope to learn much more about this ancient wisdom. In no way do I pretend to understand it. What I share is only what comes through my personal sunshine holidays filters. It is something to be respected and viewed with an open mind and heart.
This sacred island is now experiencing the less-than-desirable effects of tourism. It is important for all of us to remember to tread lightly here. The roots of Balinese culture deserve to be respected and preserved. I can only hope that I will be able to do my part. It is an honor to be welcomed here.
