Hilot vs. Ordinary Spa Massage

Yesterday i started my lesson with a comparative overview between having a Spa Massage vs. taking a Hilot Treatment.

Since Spa Massage is a widely popular relaxation services that can be easily accessed anytime and anywhere in the Philippines; so i started my discussion on showing the stages of accomodation in having a spa massage.

First Stage. Booking

Booking a Spa Massage is either by Appointment or Walk In.

Busy people can make appointment schedule by calling the Spa where they will avail their massage.

The convinience of having massage to a spa is that they could perform the massage session either to their center or to the very comfort of your home.

The 2nd statement is true only when you call and book early for a home service massage. Usually it is advised to make reservation a day a head or 5 hours prior to the expected Massage Session.

Walk In

People who want to have massage can avail it anytime they want if they go directly to the Spa Center. They also have the chance to choose their therapist and other amenities to use.

In this stage either by appointment or walk in, the spa receptionist will just get your basic information such as name and contact number. After that they will ask you to sit down as they will prepare the room where the session will conduct.

Second Stage Massage Session

When you enter the Massage, the therapist will give you instruction to undress and lie facing down. And after you do that in a while the therapist will start massage.

Third stage After Care

After an hour of massage, they will ask you to dress up and offer you tea or drinks. But not all spa do that and mostly they will just ask for the payment and leave you an envelope for the tip.

Fourth stage Send off

Usually this is not really a stage but in every massage there is an ending where you just walk away from the spa and go back again to your regular routinary world.

Now, let us take a look when you take a Hilot Treatment.

First Stage Booking

People who want to have Hilot Treatment is through Appointment only. Here in this stage, the Discipline of Hilot is already applied which is the implementation of the Law of Nature which is the value of Time.

Second Stage Accomodation

As soon as you arrive to the Hilot Center you will greeted by the receptionist with a warm welcome which is a part of Hilot Virtues.

You will be offered with water to give refreshment and cleanse your internal organs as well as a foot soaking to prepare you for a deeper treatment session.

In this stage, two modalities of Hilot are already applied and that is the Hilot Orasion and Hilot sa Tubig.

Third Stage TAWAS or Traditional Alternative Wellness Analytic System (Hilot Diagnostic or method of scanning Illness)

This stage of Hilot takes time like the time spend during the Hilot treatment. In this stage the provider will determine what kind of treatment to apply depending on the result of the diagnosis.

If in ordinary Spa Massage the client decide what kind of treatment to recieve, in Hilot the Provider or Manghihilot decides what treatment to provide for the Client.

Tawas method starts from oral interview or getting relevant information of the Client.

The Manghihilot will ask for the full name of the client and from there the provider will know the elemental composotion and any imbalances in the clients body.

The manghihilot will also analyze not only the physic body of the client but also the emotional, mental, social and the spiritual body.

Activities of the internal organs are being checked also through Pagpupulso.

Upon analyzing the 5 faculties of man, then Hilot Treatment can be determine.

Fourth Stage The Hilot Treatment

Depending on the result of TAWAS, the manghihilot will implement either one or combination of the Hilot Modalities.

Generally, there are Five Division of Hilot Treatment and these are the following:

Halaman

Liwanag

Orasyon at

Tubig

The Hilot Wellness Services can be one or combination of the following:

Fifth Stage After Care

After treatment session, post interview is conducted for feedback. In feedback, the manghihilot will explain his or her findings as he conduct the treatment to client and will give further recommendation.

The manghihilot will provide post care product and make schedule for the next treatment session.

Healing for our Home

Hilot is not just a normal treatment for bodily ailment but i can also be used to treat the place where we live. Just like physical illness, our home also get sick because of the negative energies that develop within it through time.

Through Tawas, we can determine the cause of ailment of the home. After detecting the we tell the head of the household our diagnosis, and upon permission we are going to conduct the hilot ritual for the home.

Hilot for the house consist of diagnosis, cleansing, repair and shielding.

Hilot: Our Natural Medicine

When we feel something wrong in our body such as aches and pain, most of us find it convinient to take synthetic pills for relief. But what we did not know that this synthetic pills we are taking bcan cause more damage to buour internal yorgans than we thought that i give curiie.

Months ago, i have client who complain about her condition of always feeling sick and weak inspite of the fact that she is taking a comercialized natural pills food suplement that promise to boost the immune system.

When i ask her if she see her doctor before buying the food supplement and prescribed it to her, and her response is not.

She bought it because she saw it in TV Commercial and according to the commercial and even on the product label instruction it was safe to use.

But when i check her pulse through our Hilot Scanning, almost 70% of her body organ decrease function after taking the so called natural food supplement as advertised on TV.

The result of my diagnosis alarms me a lot. Though i explain that i am not a western physician but only a Traditional and Natural Physician, i gave her recommendation to stop taking the pills in two weeks time.

And when she come back after two weeks as recommended, all the vital organs is restored its function.

No more diarhea. Headache. And more energy at work.

Here we could say that Hilot can maintain our Optimum Health and Wellness in non invasive and natural ways.

Baby Hilot

Hilot is about life. It is about creating, maintaining and sustaining life within the body of a person.

Newly wed couple could come to hilot and ask for treatment to help them have baby; so as when the baby is about to deliver, hilot is also expected in welcoming the baby to the world.

As the Baby grew, hilot can also help in molding the baby muscles and bone structure. The Hilot masahe stroke will also assist the baby grow not only in terms of physical but also mentally and emotionally.

Common People Medicine

Last July 11 to 15, 2017 we have an opportunity once again to share the knowledge of Traditional Filipino Healing Arts to a FilAm that lives in Los Angeles, California, USA who is in pilgrimage that seeks to be re connected to her ancestral roots. This newly awaked soul is Verma Zapanta.

 

In her Instragram dated Juky 19, 2017, she wrote her experiemce with us that says:

” Last Friday, I finished a five day introductory course on the traditional Filipino healing practice of Hilot in Makati. Hilot is popularly known as massage, but it’s far more than that. (For folks that are Filipino, if an elder has ever given you an intense massage for a fever, pilay, or ailment; that’s hilot!) My teacher Apu Adman Aghama believes that Hilot is a Universal Gift of the Diwata to humanity to maintain optimum health and wellness. I was introduced to traditional and contemporary techniques for hilot, the historical context of the work and most importantly its spiritual essence. Apu also made connections the the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual elements of hilot.
Today, the Philippine government has made hilot the primary care modality in their healthcare system, which is great because it’s retaining our indigenous healing practice. However, they are standardizing its techniques making it appear like a style of massage to relax and fails to acknowledge hilot as a holistic form of healing. The healthcare system is also dismissive of a core aspect of hilot which is Tawas, the spiritual diagnosis of a patient. I learned that Tawas can help people to explore, confront and alleviate traumas that are carried in our bodies through things such as prayer or energy work.
Learning at their academy also served as a form of healing for me. I am so grateful for the intimate sessions and hope to expand on my knowledge of hilot in the future.

Salamat for your knowledge and warmth Apu Adman Aghama, your hospitality Kayoko Yamahata Comon, and for being my practice patient Lakay Magdaag Aghama. Thank you for the photos as well! Thank you Hilot Academy of Binabaylan! 🙏🏾 ”

And on same date se also have an entry that says:

“It’s amazing how healers can see into the most intimate parts of our past, present and future selves using everyday items. On this trip, I witnessed Babaylans take a person’s pulse or simply look them in the eyes to do a reading. At the Hilot Academy, I received my first tawas reading from Apu Adman Aghama and Lakay Magdaag Aghama using paper and an egg. I am so grateful for them facilitating a conversation between my ancestors and I. Their prayers filled me with hope and courage to continue on this very complex journey to self.”

#ahealersjourney #ahealingjourney #tawas #binabaylan #makati #ancestralknowledge @ Brgy Pio Del Pilar Makati City

Again, we congratulate Ms. Verma Zapanta for completing the Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan Training Course as we pray that these modality she now posses in her hands would open up doors that she may get in touch with her ancestral roots.

Trully Hilot is for everyone because as we have shared that Hilot is the Common People Medicine that been given to us by the Diwata.

As we have taught that the Diwata is our first healer in accordance to the Generations of Healers, that followed by the Babaylan who are the care takers of all creation, then the Albularyo or Herbalist, and Hilot who is a Physical Medicine Provider.

Kilubansa Healing

Kilubansa is the Filipino God of Healing. Though there are no written record about his origin, some sources only mention him as the Father of Dihas the Goddess of Medicinal Herbs.

In Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc. we have worked out and revive the beliefs in the old Filipino Gods by making their presence known at this present time through working with their energies.

Since Hilot Academy pay patronage to Kilubansa, thus the healing method named after the God of Healing immerged.

If we look at the name of kilubansa, it is a complex word formed by combination of two independent root words.

First word is kilu which is a word refering to the measurement of weight; and the word Bansa which refers to a name of a country. But meditating on the Word Bansa, it is not only it refer to a Country but to the word Bansag which means name.

Thus Kilubansa Healing is a method of balancing elemental energy that can be found in the name of the person.

It is believed that our personal names carries the energy that the universe has given us and through our name we will determine also our life Purpose. In Kilubansa Healing, we can also determine through our names the elemental ingredients that we are made of.

The whole name of the person represent the Earth element, while the vowels represents the elements of air, fire and water.
