Still many people think that Hilot is a form of massage, even Filipino’s think that Hilot is just a Filipino Traditional Massage. But Hilot is not just massage and there is a big difference if you take authentic Hilot and massage.

So what is the Difference between Massage and Hilot?

Ok Massage according to medicinenet.com is the therapeutic practice of manipulating the muscles and limbs to ease tension and relieve pain. It uses touch manipulation of effluerage, petrissage, friction, tapotment, vibration for hygeinic, aesthetic and therapueitc purpose; while Hilot is a Holistic Healing Arts that uses not only massage for diagnostic and therapuetic purposes.

Yes let us say that Hilot uses also massage, but the big difference of Hilot to regular massage is that hilot is not just following procedures and sequences, but prior to give hilot the therapist must know first the condition of the client by conducting examination and evaluation of the client through TAWAS (Traditional Alternative Wellness Analytic System) which if applient properly would lead to the right treatment of the problem thus obatining satisfiable result of Hilot.

HIlot does not only give massage if they learn the clients problem or concern they may employ other modality such as bentusa or herbal treatment to deal with the clients condition.

The success and effectivity of Hilot treatment relies on the knowledge and competency of the Hilot Provider not only in application of massage but also in his/her ability to determine the cause or reason why the client is suffering disorder.

And having the ability/ skills to read and analyze the clients pulse will help the hilot to provide a successful treatment.

Remember, Hilot does not only treat the body; it also heals the mind and emotion of the client by doing Hilot.

To learn more about Hilot, i want to invite all my readers to attend our Pulse Reading Workshop on November 6, 2016 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Brgy. Pio Del Pilar, Makati City, Philippines.

For more details, you may text and call me Apu Adman Aghama at (+63995) 2467040.

I am a Hilot Binabaylan. I do tawas or spiritual diagnosis before giving any treatment modality of hilot. It is important for me to understand first the cause of discomfort of the client so that we could properly address and implement cure to the illness of the client.

In Tawas (Traditional Alternative Wellness Analytic System), we see the cause of illness not only due to the limited movement of the body, but also in the mind and emotion as well. As Binabaylan, we become a channel to the voice of your inner self by interpreting the result of tawas through divination.

Divination is an art of seeking knowledge of the unknown; thus we have develop methods of gaining information through tawas. In the process of tawas i use, we employ fresh egg that i run around the persons energy field and break it in a glass of water to read the formation of its albumen. Through that we observe the yolk and the formation of albumen into distinctive shape and analyze it and synchronize to the persons current situation. With this, the binabaylan opens up conversation with the client and let the client tell his/her current situation in life.

Today during a Binabaylan Hilot session, my client open up to me her problem about marriage life. I will not give details of her problem but will just make an insight of what marriage means to me.

Since the Month of August is also one of the auspicious month in getting merried, be reminded that Marriage is about Love. It is an ultimate of expression of Love. It is also about starting to have a family and taking up role as husband and wife as well as becoming a Mother and Father. If we put some Math on the topic of Marriage; Marriage is about addition and multiplication and not subtraction and Division.

In Marriage, the one becomes two and the two becomes one. Two becomes one does not signify that only partner should dominate, but the two should share power as one. And actually, joining the two as one will give opportunity to multiply by having a children as a testimony of their love.

And aside from that if you are a female, in marriage you do not necessarily remove your name but instead you just add to your name the name of your husband; with this you dont become less but instead abundant.

In TESDA Training Standard and Regulation of Hilot Wellness Massage for National Certification, Orascion or Oraysyon was mentioned as one of the Healing Concepts in Hilot together with the employment of massage and application of herbs.

So in teaching Hilot, TESDA Accredited Hilot Trainers formulated an acronym to define what is Hilot.

H stands for Herbal

I for Init or the use of fire

L for Langis (Oil)

O for Orasyon (Prayer)

and T stands for Tubig (water)

The definition that you read in this blog is my modified version to the acronym of Hilot which on its original version “H” stands for Hangin (air/Wind); “I” for init or the use of heat L for Lamig or cold; “O” for Orasyon or prayer; and “T” for tubig or water.

I made the change of meaning to the Letter “H” and “L” because Hangin/Air/Wind and Lamig/ Cold is a form of malady that needed to be treated by Hilot. So in maintaining the therapeutic sense of healing, i carefully choose the appropriate words in accordance to the traditional practice of the ancient healing arts and science of the Filipino People.

But this post is not about to discuss the definition of Hilot but rather i want to highlight one of the modality or concept of healing which is Orasyon.

Orasyon are prayers. Filipino Traditional Healers uses brocken latin prayers which are Roman Catholic in Origins. Mostly those who use orasyon in healing are Christian Mystics that now-a-days popularly known as LNK Groups.

In modernizing Hilot and bringing in Science into the craft, i have thought of revising the the definition of orasyon as therapeutic communication rather than to the commonly known Prayer.

Since the goal of Prayer is to communicate in order to achieve certain desire; the Orasyon in Hilot is to open up communication in bringing change to the person from having illness to wellness.

In communication, we use words that we speak out to have sounds. By speaking out the words, we could hear clearly what is in the mind of the person. Some hidded thoughts will be released so as it could help to define our inner emotion.

Literal prayer address to the Divinity helps us tap to the subconscious to the super consciousness of the client that will clear up our thoughts and emotions from negativity.

Hidden emotions such as anger, anxiety, fear, etc. gives the person an easy feeling thus making him/her to be sick. Releasing those feeling and thoughts will help to clear the energy and be restored to health.

So in giving Hilot, we are not just dealing with the Physical Body of our client but we are also giving care to their emotions and to their mind.

In Philippine Traditional Health Care, elemental balance is essential in living an optimum health and wellness. It is believed that as human beings, we as a creature of the Divine are created with the use of the 5 elements which are the element of the Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.This concept of creation has been explained clearly in my Book which is the Hilot ng Aghamang Binabaylan that is now available at the Academy.

Since we are all made up of Flesh and Bones which represent the Element of Earth, we must also need to balance all other elements which is also essential in living our life in optimal health. The lack or excess of one of these elements will give us illness not only through our body but also to our mental, emotional and social body.

The 5 elements also corresponds to our 5 aspects of being as mentioned which are the Physical, Mental, Emotional, Social and Spiritual; these aspects get illness too which needs to be healed.

In the practice of Hilot Binabaylan, we are also treating not only the Physical body but also the Mental, Emotional, Social and spiritual body of man, thus we also prescribed some traditional medicine to cure such other elemental excess of lackness.

Kilubansa is the ancient Filipino God of healing. Diwatang Kilubansa was channeled by Apu Adman on the 16th of December 2011 in Imus, Cavite during one of Apu’s nightly devotion and from that night, Diwatang Kilubansa was resurected from the land of the forgotten gods and actively working  now as a Healing God.

As a Healing God, Kilubansa taught me to detect illnesses by determining the presence of the elements in the person. Lack, Excess or Absence of the Elements in the Person will surely cause illness in the persons life not only in the Physical Body but also into the mental, emotional, social and spiritual body of the person. Thus Kilubansa Healing deals with all aspects of man and provide cure in order to restore health and wellness. The process of restoration of health and wellness is what being done during the Binabaylan Hilot Session, and as a home care treatment, Diwatang Kilubansa has prescribed me to formulate a medicine which could attract and cure the missing, exess or lack of the element.

KILUBANSA MEDICINE

AIR MEDICINE

FIRE MEDICINE

WATER MEDICINE

Taking this medicine with you attrack the element that lack or missing to balance with the other element that is excessive in your life. TAKE NOTE: you can not just take any medicine without a prescription of a Binabaylan Hilot becuase the medicine might not work properly or will just agrevate your condition without prior consultation.

To take this medicine, you must need to have a proper consultation to a Binabaylan Hilot. The Binabaylan will conduct the Traditional Alternative Wellness Analytic System (TAWAS) to determine which element are excessive, lacking or missing.

For example, exessive water element in your life makes your earth Body to be muddy. Since too much water on earth will make mud. In this case your body will experience lose bowel movement, diarhea, hypertension and even moodiness. Excess of the elements will need to be balance by other elements and as for this case, it needed to be balanced with fire. So taking the Fire Medicine will balance the water excess; but this also depends on the presence and condition of other elements with you.
