Attune to the Energies of your Home

The common problem of people living abroad (outside Philippines) as they learn Hilot Pahid from us they may opt out to perform Pagsasala when they go back to their home country because in their country there is no banana leaf available. But that should not be a problem.

268094_10150238501021537_8115253_n

If there are no banana leaves, there are other alternative aside from Banana Tree. Traditionally when there is no banana leaf the Manghihilot use cellophane or paper to do pagsasala, but in Hilot Academy we refrain our practitioners in doing that but instead use different leaf that is similar to the texture of the Banana Leaf.

Pagsasala is a Pre Hilot Pahid procedure which prepare the body of the client for a deeper treatment session. It could also become a stand alone treatment due to its therapeutic nature of detoxification as well as in providing rich in oxygen nutrients to the skin. The pagsasala ritual acts as a cardio pulmonary resuscitation using the leaves.

So in using glass or plastic, instead of releasing oxygen it will only release carbon and other toxins inside the body through the pores. So better use banana leaf or any other green leaf that has smooth surface.

As Manghihilot you are encouraged to attuned to the energies of the place where you live. Take a walk along the neighborhood early in the morning. See if there are plants or trees nearby. Recognize each of them by breathing with them. Recognize their scent. Recognize their texture by touch. When there are no plant or trees nearby, find a garden shop and start cultivating plants in your home. Or better yet go to the supermarket and find Turmeric Rhizome or Ginger and plant it.

Ginger
Turmeric

As manghihilot, we must refrain ourselves to be limited on the tools we use in Healing. We already have learned that all the things we need are already provided to us by the Universe. As much as possible we only use herbs that is endemic into our place and as we use it we also cultivate and propagate them so that they will continue to provide the medicine we use and need. You as Manghihilot has the responsibility not only to your life but also to the life of our Planet.

Hilot is a Choice

img201905091754021982077415.jpgI apologize to all my friends who ask me to join or subscribe to their company who sells self care or home care products such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, feminine wash, oils, lotions, ointments, etc.

I appreciate your concern but i apologize for refusing your offer.

I am HILOT.

And for everyone Information, like i always tell here that HILOT IS NOT A MASSAGE.

As Manghihilot we also make our own self care products.

This is the reason why i teach Hilot so that i may share to the world the techniques on how not to be enslaved by commercialism and capitalism.

I understand that all of us wants to earn money. It is not bad because all of us are enslaved of it already so we really need to make money.

In making money we need to work; and in working we need strength; in having strength we need to be healthy. And on being Healthy we also have a choice.

Introducing Hilot gives the people of the world to choose the type of healthcare procedures they want to apply into their lives.

They may choose to use synthetic products of the conventional medicine or they may choose Traditional Medicine.

On the part of Traditional Medicine, it is still wide for there are many choices also such as what the Philippine Institute of Traditional Alternative Health Care is promoting which is the Traditional and Complementary Medicine that is usually Chinese Oriental Medicine.

The problem with our Society specially with the said institute, they have forgotten to promote our very own HILOT WHICH IS OUR TRADITIONAL INDIGENOUS AND NATURAL MEDICINE.

And on this Case as Manghihilot, i will live to promote it and apply it in to my life. I will do this until the time that our own Government will recognize it and give importance to it. And so as i plead also to all my friends to support and use our very own Medicine which is Hilot.

Last year i ask my Former boss in Tesda why the Training Standard and Regulation of Hilot Wellness Massage cant be change, she just said that it could not be undone. So that means, until that regulation will not be re written it will continue to be implemented until the original and authentic Hilot will be lost and people around the world will think that what they are implementing is right.

Well if that is so, Hilot will just remain as Massage and the medicine and application of Herbs, Heat, Light, Time and Water will be ignored and forgotten by the future so called manghihilot.

Italian Hilot Guaritore

Meeting new people around the world provides a venue for learning opportunity.  And the best learning experience you will have is when you live together at home. Our own Home is the first School every individual have. This is where our behavior is first formed and molded. In our own home is where we receive first love and care that we treasure most. We receive our life lesson from our Mother and Father, so as to our brother and sister and other relatives. They become our role model in living our life.

Hilot is an experiential modality of healing rather than academic. It’s method are learned not through theories and scholarly manner but through experience. It is first passed down by the Divinity to the Babaylan; and the Babaylan to the Community. In every Filipino Home, there is one who usually stand as a Healer in the Family and mostly the mothers.  Indeed in our Home, my Mother is our Healer. And now that she have crossed the veil, it is now my turn to continue the Healing Tradition of Hilot in our Family. And as a mission in preserving our Hilot, I am sharing it to the world as my Legacy of love to mankind.

Hilot as we all know it here is the Philippine Traditional Medicine. Indeed it is from the Philippines but its practice is not limited to the Filipino only. The wisdom of Hilot is not about the actual application of the procedures but the Discipline and Wisdom of the practitioner to provide love and care. In sharing our Love and Care does not require us to have a highest educational Diploma or Title, but only our willingness to share. Yes Sharing is the right term instead of giving or providing.  Because when we share Hilot, we do not need have to be empty handed unlike in giving you totally left nothing for you. In sharing all of us enjoy the benefit of Hilot. We do not take the illness nor give our power but we share it to one another to improve ourselves, our health and our life.

This is what we experience with our Ayurvedic Therapist from Turin, Italy. We share our Hilot to him as he also share his Art and Healing Modality to us.  Agar Agar is our newest Hilot Binabaylan from Turin, Italy.  He took our lesson on the 23rd of July that he completed on the 29th of July 2019. He will go back to Italy on the 31st of July so we all wish him Buon Viaggio.

Self Created illness

People now-a-days are always on the go and spend most of their time in earning  money. It seems that they are always running out of time because of the deadlines they are rushing to meet or with other reasons. And with that behavior people suffer from stress.

Stress is a self imposed illness of the Mind.

People are stressed out because of exerting too much energy in order to obtain their desires in a short time. Even if they had enough time to reach their goal/ desire, they lack resources in order to manifest it. Many people right now are accepting challenges and work load beyond their capacity just to show off that they can; and with that behavior, they might get their success but one aspect of their being still suffer from stress. Stress is a self imposed illness of the Mind that can grow and get complicated.

According to webmd.com  the following are the symptom of stress:

Emotional symptoms of stress include:

  • Becoming easily agitated, frustrated, and moody
  • Feeling overwhelmed, like you are losing control or need to take control
  • Having difficulty relaxing and quieting your mind
  • Feeling bad about yourself (low self-esteem), lonely, worthless, and depressed
  • Avoiding others

Physical symptoms of stress include:

Cognitive symptoms of stress include:

  • Constant worrying
  • Racing thoughts
  • Forgetfulness and disorganization
  • Inability to focus
  • Poor judgment
  • Being pessimistic or seeing only the negative side

Behavioral symptoms of stress include:

  • Changes in appetite — either not eating or eating too much
  • Procrastinating and avoiding responsibilities
  • Increased use of alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes
  • Exhibiting more nervous behaviors, such as nail biting, fidgeting, and pacing.

All of these are self created within your mind.  Your own mind houses your behavior, and your behavior can be formed. It is early formed by your Parents, Family members, relatives and later on the community contributes the formation of your behavior. But in fact that our behavior resides within our mind, and our mind is our own; as we get matured we should be in control in forming our own behavior. Having control with our behavior is also having control with our life; and with our life we can also control our own health.

It is said that: Health is Wealth. And our wealth is a creature of our own mind. Our mind governs and process the activities of our body part; and our body parts must be attuned and work in harmony with our mind as it is said in the Filipino Flag pledge of allegiance that says: “Sa isip. Sa Salita. At sa Gawa.” or “In Mind. In Words. and in Deed!”

Teachers of Life

received_217528668820731.jpegColonization brought new form of medicine to our People, but as they bring new Medicine- the colonizer also bring new diseases into our land. When the colonizers settled into our Land they formed their own government over ruling the native people and had control of our land. As time pass by, they do not only own the land but also control people lives by implementing laws that will serve their interest up to present time.

There are also laws made concerning medicine and healthcare that forbid the use of our indigenous practices but instead use what is prescribed by the modern one. With the continues use of modern synthetic medicine, they also have the power to modify our DNA that will conform to their will. From our birth to our death, Modern Medicine has rule over us. They are the only one who is allowed to perform procedures on which our ancestors before us called as ritual in birthing as well as in funeral.

Before Anxiety and Depression is relieved by our Babaylan through rituals and meditation, now Modern Medicine prescribed drugs to tame it or lessen its effect unlike the Babaylan ways of changing it by teaching us how to control it. The focus of modern medicine is more mundane and carnal that it aims to control not only the cells of our body but also into the atomic level. But for us as Binabaylan Hilot we balance the Body and those level to the soul that gives life.

Recently my focus on study is about mental health. The problem of Drug Addiction, Juvenile Delinquency, Criminal mindset and so on… This i do probably as one of my Vow as dedicated Member of the Correllian Order of Peace Weaver. Though i don’t have the solution yet, but i already have found an answer why it happened to person.

The answer is due to the progress of the Soul within the person. In our studies we teach that each individual has 7 souls. As the time a child is born he or she receives his soul gradually. I also found that at the moment of Coitus, the union of Egg and Sperm Cell- the Spirit of Life begins to form. This union of cells become the Ancestral Soul of Life that made an Individual to be both Male and Female.

As individual we are both gender as Male and Female, because a Man could not germinate a baby without female nor a female can give birth without male. So the Power of Creation is present in the Union of this Power.

As the Baby come out of the womb, we know it is alive because of the First soul that comes with the Baby and we call it as ULIRAT. The Force or electricity of Life that was made from the union of the cells.

Then the next soul will come. We see this when the Baby is Placed to the breast of the Mother. On this stage, sensation is being developed to a child so as the intuition. This soul becomes the Child Muwang. The purity of the soul that has no Malice sucking divine milk from her mothers breast.

As the Baby grow s/he is introduced to the Community where the baby will receive his/her 3rd soul which is Malay. And this stage as i see is a very critical stage for the child where the child will be influenced by the people in his environment. What ever the Child see will become normal and correct that s/he will bring it up until adulthood. On this stage of Soul Progression, as an Adult we have a role on how we mold the child behavior towards live as the behavior is also a soul which we call as Bait/ katinuan.

This is the reason why religion comes in by having Child Baptism. The Church want to influence the development of the Child Kamalayan. and this continue in school as well as in social media and the Government. Now what ever the child adopt when s/he grows becomes the poison that we as Hilot Binabaylan must cure. And we can not do that by simply doing Massage or Tawas.

Everyone must level up to the Highest Calling as Hilot Binabaylan and that is to become a Teacher of Life.

Going Natural is what do Hilot teach us

Yesterday i made an Exhortation to our Academy about our Philippine Traditional Medicine which is Hilot. We emphasized yesterday that Hilot being our very own Traditional Medicine in the Philippine is not an exclusive modality but an inclusive one. As a Healing provider we do not discriminate people whether they are male or female, young or old, rich or poor, native or foreigner; All deserve to experience Hilot. So it does not matter when you have money or not in having Hilot, as long as you have a genuine need that will give out respect also to our Modality in Healing.

This is also the reason why we do not do Home Service Treatment because we want to inculcate to our patient their own responsibility to value Life and their Health. Pampering is not our Forte in Healthcare because we do not tolerate irresponsibility of an individual towards their health that will lead to great illness. As Manghihilot we stand as Teachers of Life, this is also the reason why during treatment session in Hilot there is an active communication between the provider and the receiver because the provider becomes a medium for the internal organs to communicate to the consciousness of the receiver.

52774181_10155683585616537_3824163825804902400_oIn learning Hilot Binabaylan, we do not focus on teaching massage as our Battle Cry tell that Hilot is not a massage though we have Hilot Pahid but this is just only one modality that you can find in Hilot. If people will approach us and ask us to learn Massage i am directing them to Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) or PALMT (Philippine Association of Licensed Massage Therapist) to learn the Art and Science of Massage. But here in Hilot Academy we focus on the Wholeness of the individual and in order for us to understand the situation of our patient we also need to deal with their Soul.

This aspect of Hilot being a Soul Healing Modality is what TESDA and DoH are refraining to touch; and with this reason our Academy is not accredited of any government institution not because we do not qualify to their standard but because their standard do not qualify to ours.

It is stated in our Mission that:

HABI works on reviving the folkloric aspect of Hilot by bridging the gap of mysticsm into a more acceptable Scientific approach in Primary Healthcare.

And with this, Elimination will not help in the preservation and promotion of Hilot as Philippine Traditional Medicine but will only create discrimination among the practitioner like what is happening now within the Industry of Massage Therapy in the Philippines.

As Hilot, our treatment modality is not limited to commercialism and capitalism. We see Mother Nature as the Great Healer and Provider as she provides food and medicine for the common people. We believe that our Medicine can be easily found in our backyard as well as in our neighborhood. We just need to learn to communicate with mother nature to tell us what can supply our needs.

hilot paltera.pngOur Ancestors, the early Manghihilot and Babaylan that lives before us; they are not a degree holder, uneducated and have no license in practicing their craft but they know well about the healing herbs as well as on what procedure they will perform in healing the sick and in giving cure to disease. But now-a-days, the Wisdom and Knowledge of our ancestors are being discredited because of the standardization. The Great Healers of the old years are now Quack Doctors of this generation. The Hilot Paltera/ Nagpapaanak becomes criminal because of the current governing laws that forbid the practice of attending to birth unless you are a medical professional accredited by the Law of the land.

One Herb with many cure

FB_IMG_1562853588606As we grow old we experience a lot of discomfort in our Body and due to this discomfort we often see our Doctor to be prescribed with different medicine for our condition. I remember my Nanay when she was still alive that she endures to take 12 or more medicine every day for her condition 3 times a day.  During that time she takes medicine for her brain, for her blood, for her heart, liver, kidney, bones, and probably towards her all entire body organ system. And every time she takes that medicine, she looks like she is suffering specially that for almost a week already that she does not poo while every day she takes in food and medicine. So what i did is that i Go to Mother Nature for an Alternative Cure that help her. And at that time i learned how to make herbal tablet from our Plant Medicine.

img201903032018061571567571.jpgAt first my mother joke me that it looks like a Goat’s poo and indeed it looked like one but it’s content is so much powerful because i blend it with not only one herbs but with all other herbs that is necessary towards Nanay’s condition. In her case i use Mulberry leaves, Malunggay, Serpentina, Ginger and Avocado. It help her up to her last day. She does not suffer in pain like before. She eats and poo regularly. She sleeps well and her blood pressure is down from 210/140 to 140/90 mmHg. Though her Doctor want her blood to still go down from 140/90 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg but when she takes blood pressure lowering drug, i was alarmed because she slept for about 24 hours. And from that time i use my medicine and lower the dosage of the Drug that the doctor prescribed for my mother.

Well in this article what i am going to share to you the Benefit of Herbs such as the Avocado leaves. In our Hilot Herbal Healing Class we have taught that using single herbs can cure many illness compared to synthetic drug that only cure one condition. That is the reason why medical doctors prescribed a lot of drugs to deal on different condition.

Here let us see how a Single herb such as the Avocado can help an individual in maintaining our health.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF AVOCADO LEAVES

Stay Awake in Hilot

hilotCompared to having a regular western spa massage where you can fall asleep during the session, in Hilot you are forbidden not to fall asleep. I wonder why in Hilot you are not allowed to fall asleep while in regular massage you can?

Obviously in Hilot Pahid Session it requires interaction with the provider as s/he confirms the body part that is painful. For example you have a sprain on the ankle, the Manghihilot will exert pressure on a certain point on the ankle and will ask confirmation from the patient the level of pain. The Manghihilot will do repetitive pressure until the level of pain subside until it is gone.  So the treatment in Hilot Pahid requires full attention not only by the provider but also with the receiver of Hilot.

Aside from being confirmatory nature of Hilot Pahid treatment that is why you are not allowed to sleep, it is also believed that when you sleep your soul wonders away and the purpose of Hilot is to retrieve back your wondering soul why you are consciously awake. So the next time you visit a Manghihilot, you will know if the provider is an Authentic practitioner if you receive hilot pahid fully awake.

Hilot as a form of Interactive Communication

52774181_10155683585616537_3824163825804902400_o.jpgI got a nice conversation with Lakay ALsent Magbaya Aghama tonight about the practice of Massage in Hilot.
Technically we teach Hilot is not massage and here in the academy we do not call Massage as Hilot but instead we call it as Pahid. So that is already given.
Now, in Hilot Pahid unlike massage we do not allow our patient to sleep compared to a regular massage that is quite relaxing Hilot Pahid is not.
Do not be mistaken that the pressure in Hilot Pahid is heavy or hard. We just only use moderate pressure. We do not want to create more trouble with our patient but instead we fix their problem rather than creating more injury. The pain you experience in Hilot Pahid is not because of the pressure that the provider is giving but it only means that the problem is being addressed. With constant repetition (orasyon) of the stroke, the pain will subside until it will be gone.
Hilot Pahid procedure is a form of conscious soul retrieval. It is believed that when a person goes to sleep, his/ her soul wonders away. But our purpose in doing Hilot Pahid is to pull back the wondering soul back to the patients body while awake.
As we talk about practicing hilot pahid through memory working on our experience, the Hilot Pahid session allows interactive communication between provider and receiver.
The whole Hilot Pahid session becomes a confirmatory consultation and at the same time as treatment.
Each stroke and manipulation we do to the body of our patient is a form of communication not only to the body parts but as well as to the emotional, mental, social and spiritual body of the receiver.
So again as i will emphasize, Hilot is not a Massage even we do massage there is a big difference between the two.
Hilot is an Interactive Communication as well as it is a Prayer in Action.
