Hilot Online Training Not Available

Year 2023 is almost about to end and up to now, there are many people who inquire about our Hilot Online Training and unfortunately we have stopped providing it as the world is operating again normally after the Covid Era.

Our Hilot Online Training has been helpful to us as Training Institution as well as to learners in Diaspora who was confined at home during the Pandemic Era of Covid 19. And we are proud to say that we have successfully produced Non Contact Hilot Provider which focusses on the Spiritual Diagnostic Method of Hilot thus making them as Psycho- Emotional Therapist and Adviser. Since this method of Hilot does not require physical touch to the client and the client is not required to be Physically present in front of our Manghihilot.

Such as, during the Pandemic Era, the Conventional Medicine practitioner also devised a diagnostic method through Electronic Consultation which people can download an App or go online to talk with a Medical Doctor and tell them their condition. The Pandemic of Covid 19 have changed a lot of things to the world, even that the world government imply quarantine and social distancing, but through Internet and Social Media, almost all the people around the world seems to draw even closer.

Since January 16, 2023- Hilot Academy of Binabaylan have resumed its normal operation on accepting students who wish to learn Hilot Binabaylan Techniques and so far since January up to September we have produced 10 Hilot practitioners from different parts of the world just to learn our Hilot Techniques.

  • Hilot Binabaylan of Concord California USA
  • First Hilot Binabaylan in Ontario, Canada

As we move forward, Hilot Training will be maintained in person and face-to-face specially on its treatment methodology which requires in person and face-to-face actual touch. But we will still offer Webinar occasionally and as well as recorded video lessons on the topic of Tawas Spiritual Diagnostics, Kilubansa Elemental Name Energetic Balance Analysis, so as with Sibulan Adlaw Tala Baybayin Mystic Oracle. And before this year of 2023 End we are going to make update to our website and add a Book Store where you can purchase our Ebooks and Video Lessons. But in learning the treatment methods of Hilot, we firmly encourage you to learn it in person with us here or you might want to invite us there in your area to conduct Hilot Binabaylan Training whether local or International.

Do you know your Body Parts?

All the time our body speaks to us but how do we recognize on which part of our Body speaks to us? In western medical studies, Human Anatomy and Physiology is being taught at School but in Hilot Academy, do we teach Human Anatomy and Physiology? The Answer is Yes. We may not be teaching the exact knowledge and information about the Human body but our ancestors have taught us on how to care and treat on the body parts that they think is Vital. It is the same thing how our organs and body parts have names in Filipino, because our ancestors remember the name of the organs or body parts that is relevant and at work all the time. It is just like in everyday of your life, you are dealing with a situation that always happen in a day, you will become a master on it, as you can deal the situation in every angle that it will come.

Now, in the body position, you will notice that the suffix -an is added at the end of the word such as Ulonan pertaining to the upper part or on the area of the head, Paanan pertaining to the lower part of the body belonging to the area of the feet, Tagiliran or side part, Harapan pertaining to the front and Likuran pertaining to the back. Other words that has a suffix -an that pertains to a region or place are Hilagaan (North), Silanganan (East), Katimugan (South), Kalunuran or Kanluran (West), Kaitaasan (Sky World), Kaibabawan (Surface or Middle World), Kailaliman (UNderworld), Kaluwalhatian (Place of Glory/Paradise/Heaven), Kalangitan (Sky world), Kasamaan ( Place of Evil and punishment for retribution).

Well the regions can also be found within our body and to understand better the healing methods of Hilot, we recommend everyone to study and enroll with us on our Hilot Binabaylan Training & Certification. Our ancestors may not have studied medical science at school, but they have their life experiences that have been passed unto us 50,001 years ago.

Are you ready for Hilot Binabaylan Training in the US?

Last August 12-19, 2023 I was in Chicago, Illinois and have been co-ritualist for the Fight for Freedom New Moon Ritual that was held at Mc Cormick Place Convention Center beside Lake Michigan. There were many people who attended the Ritual for the Parliament of World Religion. So I am thinking if in 2024, I will come back again in America and if I could have a Chance to visit the States where you are right now, will you be able to see me as I plan to conduct Hilot Binabaylan Training so as the Bansagan Tala Tanda Naming Ceremony in embracing our Indigenous Filipino Identity? Let me know so that we could plan it out. I know this will be also difficult for me, but since I had been given a Visa Entry to the US last August, I believe I could also get one by 2024.

The Magick of Nature in a Bottle

Bote Natura Wishing Bottle

You all have known that Hilot is the medicine of our pre colonized ancestors that we are preserving that it may reach you in this present generation. With that we are also preserving the Medicine of our Indigenous People which is still practiced by the Aeta, Dumagat and Mangyan Indigenous People. Most of their medicine are being adopted by Folk Catholics and Mystics that can be found in Mount Banahaw and Quiapo Church which is the Philippine Center of Mysticism and Filipino Magick. Many of these Folk Catholics and Mystics were descendants of Katalonans ( Babaylan of the Katagalugan),despite being converted into Roman Catolicism, still have preserved the practice of Anituhan syncretized in their current Catholic Faith. Though the use of herbs in our Magickal works will never be Christianized as the herbs that grows in our land are never been baptised. So the use of these magickal herbs in a bottle is recognized to be a precolonial Filipino Magick/Medicine.

Our Response to Alexandra

I recieved a message from our contact form that comes from Alexandra and she wrote:

Dear

I am interested in your Hilot course. However I have some questions. I am half Filipino and grew up outside of the Philippines (as it usually goes). I’ve always been interested in learning massage, but never took the step to take up a course until now. I thought it would be nice to seek back to my roots and try out Hilot instead of Thai for example. I always thought Hilot was just massage, as the massage salons usually are called Hilot in the Philippines. Now do I see that your course offers so much more than that, which seems super interesting to me, to also enjoy the benefits of truly understanding all the aspects of the “Hilot culture”. Now I was wondering how much of an emphasis there is on massage techniques in your course, or if it’s just a small segment. I was also wondering when/how you plan for workshops. Do they happen weekly or does it depend on how many enrollments there are? Salamat and hope you have a beautiful day! Alexandra

That was her email to me and when i respond to her my email returned to me as this:

I am sad that my message doesnt transmitted to her as she have a wonderful inquiry about our training program. So, just in case she will read this, I am posting here my response to her.

Hi Alexandra thanks for your email.

Hilot is much more than Massage and it is a complete healing arts and science that has its Diagnostic,  preventive, promotive, therapeutic and rehabilitative health care methodologies. This was the system that our ancestors passed unto us which Hilot Academy aims to revive. Other Hilot Schools do only focus on the aspect of Massage and doing so breaks the principle of Hilot 

As Hilot therapeutics require diagnostic first before implementing cure and not all illness can be cured by massage alone. That is why our best training program that we offer is the 8 days Hilot Binabaylan Training which will initiate you to the Hilot Healing Principles which are Diagnostic, Cleansing, Repair, Strengthening and maintaining the optimum health and wellness of an individual. 

I understand that our 8 days training would be so pricy as it already included your food and hotel accomodation for 9 days plus the learning materials and certificate.

Though in our website which is at https://hilotacademy.com/trainings/ you can find the masidhi training program which is for 3 days.

Let me know which training program you will take by looking at our course offerings.

I hope this message will reach her and to everyone who is going to make an inquiry. We usually do one-on-one in person training so that we could focus our energy in providing much learning to the individual who enrolls with us.

Cultural Doula: Rebirthing the Traditional Indigenous Medicine of other Country

It is such a Great Honor for us at Hilot Academy of Binabaylan to become a Cultural Doula in rebirthing other countries Traditional Medicine and Indigenous Spiritual Beliefs and Practices such as for our new Hilot Binabaylan in Training Quynh Vy who is from Vietnam. For us in Luntiang Aghama, it was the Correllian Nativist Tradition of Wicca had help us to dig deeper on our History, Culture and Tradition which allow us to resurface back again our Indigenous Spirituality. And it is through Hilot where it becomes our Doorway to found again the medicine of our ancestors which is strongly connected to the Spiritual realms.

Indeed, that as we always say that Hilot is our Traditional Indigenous Medicine, which is part of the applied science, whereas, in Hilot Academy of Binabaylan, we do not only focus our study on how to treat Human Illness but we go beyond the Physical Body to understand more the wholeness of the individual who seeks healing from us. As we believe that the Physical Body is just a vessel of life force to dwell in, and when it left the physical body, it will become lifeless. The lifeless body will not be able to feel, move, speak nor think because the life force is already absent in the body. And this life force within us is what we recognize as our soul. If the soul is complete within our body, Life is present, and the individual may achieve Wellness or Illness. all of this are being taught in our Hilot Binabaylan Training.

If we better understand how our ancestors value life, how our parents care for us prior to the coming of modern Phamaceuticals and the conventional medicine, we will know our Traditional Indigenous Medicine, and aligned to our Traditional Indigenous Medicine is the Indigenous Spirituality of our Ancestors. As we believe that we could not separate the Body and the Spirits. But even in Death, how our ancestors deal with it, we will find their spiritual beliefs and practices.

Hilot as a Bridge towards Decolonization

Early this morning we have fetch Christine Quynh Vy at Naia Terminal 3 for her 8 days study of Hilot Binabaylan Training. I ask her who recommend her to study Hilot Binabaylan and I was so glad to hear that one of our Graduates from Hawaii which is Dayang Gulaon, a vessel and Hilot Binabaylan of Diwatang Gugurang and Diwatang Laon. Dayang Gulaon aka Julz Bolinayen of Lakapati’s Legacy we among the last student of who took the in person 8 days training of Hilot Binabaylan before the lock down of Pandemic of Covid 19. From January 2019 when she took the Class, Dayang Gulaon have taken pride to the Ancestral Wisdom of Filipino Healing Arts and Science that she offers it through Lakapati’s Legacy in Hawaii. She is a Hilot Binabaylan that specialize in Tattoo Ritual, Divination, Serenade, Energy Healing and Death Doula- Ship. And she is the beloved Medium of Kilubansa the Filipino Diwata of Healing which Hilot Academy enshrined as our Patron Guide.

Quynh Vy is a receives Kilubansa Reading from Dayang Gulaon that later on they became friends. And Quynh Vy learned about the Academy through her. We were glad to meet Quynh Vy in person, and we have learned that she is a Vietnamese- American. Though she came to us to learn Hilot so that she could acquire some tools in her quest to uncover Vietnamese Culture and Tradition.

In the past, I have received some advice to limit accepting students to only Filipino or those with Filipino Blood. But I reject that Idea as it will violate the Ethics of Hilot that states:

“…as Manghihilot we do not discriminate an Individual, we do not look at them of their nationality, their political and religious affiliation, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, Social Classification whether they are rich or poor, We do not look at their color whether they are white, black or brown; we do not see them if they are young or old; but rather we see them as Soul that is within their body that needs healing from us.” 

Hilot Gamutan: A fundamental Guide on Hilot Treatment Methodology by Rev. Rolando Gomez Comon CP MH-SOLA

So as a Teacher of Hilot, we do not discriminate also on whom we are going to Teach Hilot as Hilot is not exclusive to a certain person only but it is always available for all who are in need of.
