Returning to Sacred Balance

by Jack van den Berg

In Bali, healing is not merely physical — it is energetic, spiritual, and deeply interwoven with the harmony of the seen and unseen worlds. Authentic Balinese Energy Healing draws from ancient wisdom rooted in Balinese Hinduism and animistic beliefs. It honors the truth that illness, misfortune, or imbalance often arise from disruptions not only in the body, but in one’s energy field, relationships, or spiritual connection.

At its heart, Balinese energy healing is about rebalancing — restoring harmony between the individual and the cosmos. This is achieved through prayers, mantras, ritual purification (Melukat), sacred offerings, and the intuitive guidance of a Balian, a traditional healer.

Who Is a Balian?

A Balian is not just a healer, but a spiritual intermediary. Some are born into the calling, others chosen through signs, dreams, or spiritual inheritance. Their role is not self-appointed; it is often said that the healing energy works through them, not from them. Each Balian may work differently — some use trance states, herbs, massage, or energy transmission through the hands. Others receive messages from ancestral spirits or divine guides. What they all share is a deep reverence for the spiritual dimension of healing.

The Energy Behind the Practice

In Balinese understanding, energy (tenaga dalam) is not abstract — it is real and tangible. When disrupted by negative thoughts, karmic residues, or spiritual interference, a person may feel fatigued, emotionally unsettled, or even physically ill. The healer seeks to clear these blockages, restore alignment, and reconnect the person with the divine balance in Bali known as Tri Hita Karana — the harmony between humans, nature, and spirit.

Emotions, Mind, and the Soul’s Alignment

In this worldview, emotions are not random or accidental; they are a natural part of human experience. They can be seen as the soul’s mirrors. Joy reveals alignment; sadness, stress, anxiety, or depression may reflect deviation from one’s truth or purpose. Yet between soul and body lies the mind—the interpreter, the filter, and sometimes the interrupter. The mind can shape beliefs that color our emotions, suppress feelings to protect the soul’s vulnerability, or analyze sensations until they become disconnected from meaning. True healing invites the mind to soften, to become curious, and to return to its rightful place as a servant of deeper awareness. When mind, emotion, and body are realigned with the soul’s steady light, healing flows naturally.

REFLECTION

If you can accept or believe that healing is the work of one's body/mind and that the only ability that a healer has is to somehow being a catalyst to ignite a healing process within the client, would you then be open to experience a treament like this. Because accepting or opening up is a prerequisite for result.

Universal Spiritual Wisdom: Ancient Teachings Beyond Borders

Universal spiritual wisdom often begins in a place — shaped by the land we walk on, the language we speak, and the stories passed down through generations. But there is also a kind of deeper knowing — one that doesn’t belong to any one culture. It lives in silence, in symbols, in dreams and moments of strange coincidence that seem to guide us. This quiet wisdom can be felt across the world, echoing through time, gently reminding us that we are all part of something greater.
