Halika Na! (Come Now!)

Have you watched The Avengers Endgame? I noticed that all of the world Super Hero was there except for the Filipino.

When we first saw this movie i thought that Filipino Super Heroes can stand alone such as Darna, Captain Barbel, Pedro Penduko and Super Inggo. But in times that we are in now, i believe all of our Superheroes must come together and work as One.

This is the call for all of us not only the Filipino but also other nationality that has a calling to heal the world. Let us all Come together and awaken our Healing Abilities to heal the world through the Halika Na Workshop in Camiguin Islands, Philippines.

Halika Na Workshop is envisioned by Archimedes Miranda De Leon, Founder of Hanuman Yoga Center in San Francisco, California, USA.
Halika Na Workshop will be a collaborative work facilitated by Indigenous Filipino Healer Mamerto “Lagitan” Tindongan, who is a Mumbaki of Kinakin, Banaue, Ifugao; Lakay Magbaya, a Binabaylang Tala and Hilot Academy Director on Spiritual Healing Arts; Archimedes De Leon, a Certified Yoga Instructor and Fitness Trainer; and yours truly Apu Adman Aghama, Founder of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. and Training Director/ CEO of Hilot Academy of Binabaylan.

Ginger Tea as Immune Booster and Disinfectant

Prevention is better than cure specially right now when there is no cure for 2019 Coronavirus Disease (Covid 19). Since there are no known cure for this new disease but it’s symptoms are already known as it can be found published on the internet and news media.

The Symptoms for this disease are:

  • Runny nose
  • Sore throat
  • Fough
  • Fever
  • and difficulty in breathing (severe cases)

The symptoms are known already so we must prevent to have one of those listed symptoms. World Health Organization have released an advice on how we can protect our selves being contaminated with this new virus.

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public

It is said that cleaning our hands with soap and water or hand sanitizer will kill the viruses that are present in our hands. We must cover our mouth when coughing or sneezing then sanitize again our hands to prevent the spread of contamination.

The main public scare here is when a person sneeze or cough, people will think that you are infected with Coronavirus. And with that Social Distancing of 3 feet apart are advised so that we can avoid contamination.

Again we are warned to distance our selves to the persons with cough and fever. So at this moment, when you have cough and fever you will be likely a scare bomb to the public. With this we must take care of ourselves and strengthen our immune system so that we do not get sick.

Our Ancestors have taught us simple techniques on how to strengthen our immunity and that is through drinking Salabat (Ginger) Tea. It is believed that drinking Ginger Tea will help you in the following areas:

  • Relieve Nausea
  • Improve Stomach performance
  • Reduce Inflamation
  • Fight Respiratory problems
  • Improve Blood Circulation
  • Relieve Menstrual Discomfort
  • Strengthen Immunity
  • and Relieve Stress

Aside from drinking Ginger Tea, we can use the infused rhizomes of Ginger as disinfectant. So there is no need to panic buying on rubbing alcohol or hand sanitiser because we can use Ginger Tea to disinfectour hands to kill viruses.

Natural Disinfectant

Due to Covid 19 outbreak worldwide, people around the world do panic buying and hoarding disinfectant such as 70% rubbing alcohol and sanitizer.

But did you know that mother nature provides natural cure and disinfectant? Yes, it does! But how?

Many Filipino cook rice. And as we prepare rice we wash it. And many of us throw to the sink the washed rice water.

But did you know that we can ferment the rice water and become a natural disinfectant. We do this by adding salt and sugar to the rice water kept on a tight cap bottle. After 24 hours it will become a Lactic Acid Bacteria that we can use for disinfectant.

Meeting with the Mumbaki of Brgy. Kinakin, Banaue, Ifugao

I am hearing his name since 2017 and from that time I follow his wonderful works. He have been love by many Filipino Americans in the States and have connected with the World Indigenous Shamans from different culture and tradition. I feel unworthy to be in his presence but through a friend and by universal will, our realms have met and do a ritual together.

Past to present

Most likely if people work on memories, we only hear them through stories in the present time. But experiencing the moment of the past in the present days are different. It channels the past to be move in the present day to make the past alive. These process of making the past to be alive in the present are known as restoration such as an old model of car fixed so that it can be used today.

Hilot is the medicine of our ancestors which we advocate today in studies and treatment experience that people in the future will still experience the wonderful healing effects of this modality in Healing.

Healing Pain

Since last night as we practice the Body works of Hilot we encounter to experience pain as we apply pressure on their body. This pain is a good pain which we can embrace because as we apply pressure to the body part it will gradually fade away.

Pain is an indicator that we are healthy enough to sense or feel that we have problem, and through Hilot fix the part of the body that has problem or issues.

Rewarding Effort of Revival

Today is the 3rd to the last day of Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training that we conduct at Tagaytay Tropical Green Subdivision which is the house of Lakapati Filipinas Inc. that is our participant and volunteer for this class. For the whole month of February we tirelessly work on sharing the Ancestral Knowledge of Filipino Healing Arts and Science to our Kapwa that comes from different part of the world, and this time Angelica Kai comes from Glendale, California.

Introduction to Plant Medicine Spirits during Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training

The Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan is an 8 days intensive training that is divided into two parts. The First part of the training focuses on the Mind/ Spirit workings that will orient you to the Ancient Filipino Indigenous Spiritual Beliefs and practices such as in the belief to the Anito, Diwata and Enkanto; the 7 souls of Man; The Filipino Concept of Life, Health, Illness and Wellness; Tawas or traditional method of Diagnosis or Divination; and the importance of performing ritual in healing to affect cure.

Tawas sa Papel as a diagnostic and divinatory tool

While the second part of the training focuses on Body Works or the application of necessary actions to affect cure such as in performing Suob/ Palina Ritual, Pagpag- Pauli Ritual, Dagdagay, Bentusa, Pagsasala and Hilot Pahid. It is important for our Manghihilot or Hilot Binabaylan to be proficient in both aspect of working with the spirits as well as in performing body works as we believe that our life comes from the spirit and life blessings comes from the spirit.

Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan is offered all year round and can be arranged by reserving a schedule with us. For more information you may contact Apu Adman Aghama by sending us an email at hilot.binabaylan@gmail.com or at whats app at +639480177571.

Hilot leads us to our life journey

Our feet is given to us by the Divine so that we may learn how to stand for our self and to walk. As we walk we journey life to see all what the world has to provide. We see and experience all the good things and bad so that may learn from it.

As Manghihilot we stand and walk in between the world to learn and share our life experience in this journey thus helping other to be aware also of the blessings and challenges of life has to give.

It is also our feet allow us to move on specially in going forward to achieve progression and success in our life. Treating our feet with Traditional Filipino Foot Massage which is known as Dagdagay Kulis help our feet to be healthy and in good shape.

Hilot makes us happy

When we are sick it give us pain and loneliness. Our situation make us worry about the future and many what if’s of our life. No one likes to keep the pain and suffering thus we want to take it off in our system and be well. This is what Hilot is bringing you and that is to stop the pain and suffering by giving you relief and happiness to enjoy your life.

At first we see pain as indicator that your mind is responding to an external stimulus. Since we determine that there is pain, we can work out that pain and remove it by smoothing it out through application of our healing oil and herbal supplement. Indeed you will feel extreme pain while we perform the treatment but after that you will feel relief.

As Manghihilot we are the bringer of Happiness to our patients by relieving them from their pain and suffering. We provide them inspiration to motivate them living their life to the fullest with optimism and trust in their own ability that everything will be okay.

Jamee and Julz journey in learning Hilot

This is what had happen when we start our class of Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training this year. We thought that people will not come due to the event of Tandang Taal Volcanic eruption. At first they were hesitant to come and ask if it is safe to go here in the Philippines. Originally our class was scheduled from the 17th of January 2020 but it was moved on the 24th of January.

We welcome our first batch of trainees on the 24th of January 2020 and they are Julz Bolinayen of Hawaii and Jamee Pineda of Washington, DC. They were accompanied by Julz cousin sherwin and have a short orientation and give them a view of what to expect during the training. After the orientation we do our first activity on activating the hands energy centers though the paper folding exercise as facilitated by Lakay.

Our student were amazed knowing their power hand and have enjoyed discovering their inner abilities through the exercise. Indeed that our Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training is more about self discovery of our own abilities through communication with our inner selves and channeling the message of the spirit to our conscious mind.

Lakay have shared his knowledge on the 5 elements and on how it affect our lives. By knowing the elements we become an alchemist that balance the flow of each element in our lives by determining its functions to our body. By sharing our techniques we allow each of them to practice their acquired skills in Tawas which is our Hilot method of Scanning or Diagnosis which is also a form of Divination. 

Let us hear now what Julz have to say to her partner Jamee on his egg tawas divination.

As she is done reading, we ask her how she gets the information in reading Jamee’s egg.

Now Julz have done her part, its now Jamee’s turn to read the Egg tawas for Julz.

Lets hear Jamee on how he attuned to the Egg Tawas.

After they have done performing the diagnostic ritual of tawas, we invite both of them to come to our Shrine to receive their Binabaylan Name. The ritual was facilitated by Apu and Lakay in Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. Lot 79 Phase A Francisco Ave., Brgy. Francisco Homes Narra, City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, Philippines.

As Hilot Binabaylan, we are not just working with the Physical Body but as well as with the patients emotional, mental and spiritual body. And we do not just heal the body it self but we also do heal the environment where the person lives. This is the main difference of the Traditional Medicine Practitioner to the practitioners of Modern Medicine, we care and treat not only the illness but also the entirety of the person.
