Bali Healers and Balinese Ritual Purification Ceremonies

126 Comments

One of the most memorable and profound experiences as expressed by our yoga and wellness retreat participants is a session with a Balinese traditional healer. Healers in Bali go by several titles such as Balian, Pemangku, Brahmana, or Pedanda. You may also hear them referred to as Peranda, Dukun, or Shaman.

Due to our keen interest in healing, wellness, yoga, meditation and such, we have been on a mission to meet and study with as many healers in Bali as possible. Over the last couple decades we have met numerous healers and have witnessed astonishing occurrences.

Bali Healer Ritual

A Balinese Healer preforms a Melukat Purification Ceremony

Not all have been remarkable or even worth mentioning, but many have, and certainly one of the most authentic and effectual, has been a certain Balian that does not wish to be publicized. Lets call him Balian Taksu.

A Balian’s primary obligation is that to his banjar or local village. He or she must tend to them first and foremost. In today’s ‘Eat, Pray, Love blogging world’, some traditional Bali healers become hyped and promoted with or without their blessing. Sadly, we have seen this happen too many times. Several years ago a Balinese healer sat in his small compound offering sessions to his neighbors, a film crew happened upon him, put him in a film, and now there are tourist busses lined up outside his home. He can no longer effectively see to the health and wellbeing of his village. We don’t want to see that happen again, so we will not print his name or location and the images have him obscured purposefully.

Bali Healer Methodology

The way Balian Taksu performs his healings is as such. There will be an initial meeting in which the healer will engage a range of techniques to ascertain the well being, imbalances and possibly past lives of the individual. He will study the person’s name, palm and aura. Balian Taksu then enters a trance state and invites Naga (The Balinese Dragon Spirit) to enter him. In a few minutes time, Taksu will SHARE his findings. He may be able to derive significant life events, traumas, past lives, future events, warnings, etc. Many Balinese healers have the ability to derive this type of information. What sets the gifted Balian apart is the offering of a cure or direction~ a prescription, if you will.

Balian Taksu insists that I explain to our participants that he must reveal exactly what is revealed to him and he will not sugarcoat it. Certainly not all of his readings reveal undesirable aspects, in fact many are optimistic, but some may not be prepared to learn what may be transmitted.

One possible initial prescription may be a Melukat ritual. A Melukat is a spiritual cleansing ritual and part of the Manusa Yadnya (Balinese Hindu life events). Its purpose is to purify a human body and soul (as opposed to the cleansing ritual for a building or temple). It is said to wash away turmoil and sickness acquired from negative karma in both this life (prarabda karmaphala) and past lives (sancita karmaphala).

The Melukat Purification Ritual

In order to purify the aura and karma from past lives, align and clear the chakras, and remove disease, Balian Taksu will invite the individual back for an evening Melukat on an auspicious day such as Kajeng Kliwon (a day in the Balinese calendar which is believed to have magical power), purnama (full moon), tilem (new moon), or a variety of others. Based on information received while in trance, Taksu will determine the type and quantity of fresh flowers that will be soaked in holy water (tirtha) for use in the cleansing ceremony.

The seeker will sit on a stool opposite the shrine and vessel containing the sacred water and flowers (top image above). Balian Taksu will enter a naga trance, recite mantras and ask the participant to meditate on a specific concept or god. He will then ladle the holy water and now sacred flowers upon the head of the person seeking purification.

If it is decided that further purification is necessary, the Balian may prescribe a more intensive Melukat ritual that will take place at a confluence of rivers and waterfalls. Another auspicious day will be selected and we will all travel to one of Bali’s most resplendent locations, Jati Juih. I am comfortable revealing the basic location as finding the site is nearly impossible even with good directions. Jati Luih is home to some of Bali’s most famous and picturesque rice terraces.

We hike through Bali’s jungle and rice fields to the river and waterfalls where the purification ritual will take place.

After a breathtaking hike through the jungle and rice fields, we arrive at the river and natural springs. I will not reveal many of the particulars involved in this intricate and profound ritual but I will say after the ceremony many of our yoga retreat participants were brought to tears at the beauty and profundity of the ritual.

There are additional rites and ceremonies that may be undertaken which involve a deeper and more intense trance where Balian Taksu is completely overtaken by the Naga spirit. These rituals are dramatic and can be quite shocking to witness. They are used for extractions and not recommended for the casual traveler to Bali.

Please note: The suggestion of a Balian, Mangku or other traditional Balinese healer to undertake a Melukat is very much like a prescription written by a western doctor. A couple of our yoga and wellness retreat participants were disappointed that they were not asked to partake in the Melukat. Just as a doctor would only prescribe antibiotics for a person with a bacterial infection, a true Balinese healer would only suggest a Melukat for those in need.

  • Another great post, Mikaku! And those images are amazing. I loved the malukat and smelled of frangipani for days. Though I’m not a particularly spiritual person, the ceremony provided me a degree of introspection and reflection, regardless. The cultural experience alone was fascinating.

  • Thanks for offering that Dino.
    The sessions with healers always make for profound and impactful experiences while in Bali and we are so happy when past participants of our retreats tell us how meaningful they were. I just heard from a gentleman who was on our tour 3 years ago and he credits his session with a Balinese healer as a changing point in his life.
    I was so glad that you got to partake in these ceremonies.

      Just a few we had the opportunity to work with a man from Australia who suffers from two debilitating chronic diseases.

  • I would LOVE to tell you the sequence of ‘coincidences’ that has finally led me to find out about Hannah’s experience online and then to Cam’s and of course, your website. i just sat crying earlier this evening, with relief and happiness when i actually read your site. I would dearly love to be healed and to take the time to spend a day with you; under your guidance, understanding and connection with Balians who are true to you and their call). I have shoulder, neck and chest pain (suspected collarbone displacement) although x-ray, MRI, ultra sounds.. did not show anything ‘significant’ to an autopsic surgeon, it was initially picked up by a lovely and unique ‘kiniesiologist chiropractor’ here in Hong Kong, where i am currently living. I believe that i need some emotional healing too. Someone picked this up in conjunction with my shoulder ..a longer story 🙂 At the time, (this pain, as though glass in me, feeling strangled ..) has been since jan/feb on one certain occasion. I always thought that i was ‘one click away’ from getting sorted, at THAT TIME and those few weeks ahead. I am now, though 10 WEEKS PREGNANT ..as we had been planning and just know that i always thought i could get fixed in that time.. until the kiniesiologest.. found what he did when i was 6 weeks gone. I am not concerned about 1st trimester worries, as you may expect (i feel certain of that and can tell you why in due course i hope), i just feel that may throw a curve -ball into things. I hope that you may not unadvised me, at this time, as i feel ‘softer’ healing may even help my shoulder …obviously i would drawer the line at a Balian who may like to walk on my back 😉 Bali is now coming soon for me 🙂 From Hong Kong – my husband, 4 year old twins and I, will be coming out to Bali next Saturday (i can’t wait for numerous reasons), staying for a week in Ubud and a further week in Seminyak. Would it be possible (at what may be a busy time of year) to have a day with you on Monday 21st or sometime soon after? I realise that this day would NOT be taken lightly but deeply respectfully. It’s been a long time coming, that’s for sure. We’ve not been able to ‘visit’ Bali sooner and so i feel a tremendous two weeks ahead ..and the island ‘properly’ calling me now perhaps 😉 I look forward to hearing from you. Sorry this is long but I felt maybe so much should be said 😉 with thanks, M

    Hi Mikaku,

    I am coming to Bali 18th-25th June and was wondering if you could arrange for me to see a healer just like Cam. I arrive the 18th and leave the 25th June so 20th-23rd would be great. I am a spiritual person and feel the need to be healed as I believe I have trapped emotions. Why I do not know, I am very fortunate and blessed in many ways. Yourself and Puta,I would love to meet.

    I am currently staying in Bali until the 16th of Oct and have only come across this website and the abilities of Bali Healers. I realise it may be late notice, but I am interested in a visit to assist with spiritual, emotional and mental aspects of my life.

  • Hello Milkaku,

    Greetings to you. The reason for me contacting you is because I would like you to assist me in finding the right Balians who can help me with my ailments. You see I have been suffering with terrible stomach pains which travels down to my groin area and it is extremely painful. Additionally to that I was diagnosed with Bipolar and Arthritis and this makes my situation even worse. The doctors know what is wrong with me with regards to the Bipolar and the Arthritis but they are puzzled by my stomach pains and pain in the groin and so they cannot help me. Btw, I was told that this is due to spiritual problems which need to be resolved as well as addressing some deep emotional problems in the process. Milkaku I would sincerely welcome any assistance you can provide me in finding a powerful authentic Balian/s and you should note that I would be travelling to Bali within the next few months and this would be for healing only at this present time. In the meantime I do look forward to hearing from you shortly.

    Kind regards,

    Win

    I am a student studying interior design and I am working on a project where I was asked to design a space that “provides empowerment of users to grow intellectually, spiritually, mentally, or metaphysically. The space can be for religious practice, reflection, or public commemoration. After reading your article I was intrigued and was hoping to focus my project on the Balinese Purification Ceremonies. Could yo provide me some more information on what you experienced during your visit?

    Friend, in private after a simple reading that I found and touched an old Egyptian something that he can’t see but this has attached a negative energy from
    My childhood and that I should look to cleanse this. Do I book to see a healer or can I just arrive at the temple and speak directly with someone once there?

    If he is not available perhaps you could point me in the direction of other healers after leaving a negative relationship and horrendous job I feel a bit lost right now.

I would be really interested in having the opportunity for this experience with my mum and my brother during our stay in Bali over the next two weeks due to a very important milestone for us all. Please could you get in contact and I can provide more details , thank you so much again

    • Hello Gabby,
      Greetings from Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat. I have sent you an email as hopefully we can help.
      We hope you are smiling and radiant! Yes, we would love to assist you as this is one of the most beautiful, unique, and profound aspects of Bali.

      I would encourage you to pursue this with great caution as we hear of unfortunate and scary situations almost weekly. The Balians we work with are gifted and sincerely want to help. We have longstanding relationships with them. But there are many unscrupulous individuals posing as healers to take advantage of tourists.

      Thank you and I hope your trip to Bali is all you dream it to be.
