In a world where healing is often measured by degrees, diplomas, and monetary value, I stand firm in the belief that the gift of knowledge entrusted to me through Hilot is overflowing—not because of wealth or status, but because of the love and compassion that move me to serve.
I do not claim that I can heal every illness a person may suffer. My heart and mind simply tell me to help and share my energy with every individual who genuinely seeks healing. Like all traditional folk healers, I acknowledge this truth: we are not the ones who heal. We are instruments of the Divine, channels through which healing flows.
Traditional medicine teaches that every individual has the innate ability to heal themselves. We, as healers, are catalysts—facilitators of that process. This wisdom was echoed by Doctor Ruben M. Galang Jr., who taught us that healing is a partnership. Even if I were the greatest healer in the land, if the person does not participate in their own healing, no true healing can occur.
As a Hilot Binabaylan, I am deeply grateful to every patient who knocks on my door. Their trust is a sacred gift. I am equally grateful to the Anito and the Diwata for entrusting me with this ability to care—not only with compassion but also with the little knowledge of human science that complements our ancestral wisdom.
Today, I realize that being a healer is not about academic degrees, certificates, or diplomas. It is about the degree of love and care that moves you to heal an individual. Healing is priceless because it springs from the heart.
Why I Heal on a Donation Basis
This afternoon, I spoke with Cris, our custodian who tends to our chickens. I asked him why he thinks I offer Hilot on a donation basis or sometimes for free. He guessed that I do so because I earn through teaching Hilot. While that is partly true, it is not the whole story. Teaching does not always guarantee income—this year, I only had one class in Hawaii last August and one enrollee this December. What they pay is a small amount, enough to sustain our work at the Hilot Academy of Binabaylan.
The real reason is this: if I charged the same rates I once did in Makati—₱1,800 to ₱2,500 per hourly session—many in my community could not afford it. And what I give is priceless. Healing is not a commodity; it is a sacred act of service.
The Creed of Hilot Binabaylan
From this reflection, I offer these guiding principles for all who walk the path of Hilot Binabaylan:
1. We are instruments of the Divine. Healing flows through us, not from us.
2. Healing is a partnership. The patient must actively participate for true healing to occur.
3. Love and compassion are our greatest credentials. Degrees and certificates do not define a healer—the heart does.
4. Gratitude is our foundation. We honor those who seek our help and the spiritual forces that guide us.
5. Healing is priceless. It cannot be measured by money but by the transformation it brings.
6. We serve with humility. Our work is not for fame or fortune but for the well-being of all.
Final Thoughts
To be a healer is to embody love, care, and service. It is to walk with humility, guided by the wisdom of our ancestors and the grace of the Divine. May this creed inspire every Hilot Binabaylan to uphold the sacred calling of healing—not as a profession, but as a lifelong mission of compassion.

Policy on Enrollment for Specialized Programs
At Hilot Academy of Binabaylan, we uphold the sacred responsibility of preserving and promoting Authentic Indigenous Filipino Traditional Healthcare Practices. Our programs are designed not merely as technical training but as a spiritual and cultural journey rooted in the wisdom of our ancestors.
Why We Require Initiation Before Advanced Programs
The Family Care Hilot Treatment Program is a Continuing Study Program exclusively offered to graduates of our Hilot Binabaylan Practice Master Degree Program. This prerequisite ensures that every participant:
- Embodies the Core Values of Hilot Binabaylan
Our 9-day initiation and training program equips practitioners with the knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitude necessary to uphold the integrity of Hilot. - Protects the Authenticity of Our Tradition
We do not allow the integration of Hilot techniques with Western or other modalities. Combining Hilot with foreign practices risks cultural dilution and dishonors the uniqueness of each healing art. - Advances Our Advocacy, Not Commercialization
Our mission is principle-driven, not profit-driven. Enrollment decisions are guided by our commitment to cultural preservation and spiritual integrity, not financial gain.
Our Stand Against Cultural Colonization
Modern spas often offer “Combination Massage,” blending different modalities without respect for their origins. We reject this approach. Hilot is a complete and holistic system that stands on its own—just as our ancestors practiced it for generations.
Policy for International Students
It is our established policy that international students enrolling in the 9-day Hilot Binabaylan Training Program are required to stay with us at our designated accommodation. This includes food and lodging, provided for the following reasons:
- Safety and Comfort
As visitors to the Philippines, we prioritize your well-being and security throughout your stay. - Focus on Learning
Classes begin at 8:00 AM and may extend until 8:00 PM. Commuting daily would consume energy and distract from the immersive learning experience. Staying onsite ensures that students can fully concentrate on the training and spiritual journey.
This policy reflects our commitment to creating a safe, comfortable, and focused environment for all participants.
Our Commitment
By maintaining these standards, we ensure that Hilot remains authentic, genuine, and deeply rooted in Filipino Indigenous Wisdom, empowering practitioners to serve their communities with integrity.
🌿 The Body as the Home of the Souls and Spirit
In many indigenous Filipino traditions, including Maranao, Bukidnon, and Tagalog Hilot Binabaylan, the physical body is not just flesh—it is a sacred vessel that houses multiple souls (gimokod) and the spirit (diwa). When the body is in pain, it may be a sign that:
- A soul has wandered or been disturbed.
- The spirit is calling for attention, prayer, or alignment.
- There is disharmony between the physical and spiritual realms.
🔮 How a Strong Soul Heals the Body
1. Energetic Alignment
- A strong soul radiates vital energy (UliRat) that nourishes the body.
- When the soul is whole and present, the body receives clarity, strength, and resilience.
2. Spiritual Immunity
- Just as the body has an immune system, the soul has spiritual defenses.
- Prayer strengthens the soul’s ability to repel negative energies, heal emotional wounds, and restore balance.
3. Ancestral Support
- A strong soul is connected to ancestors and Tonong.
- Their guidance and protection flow through the soul into the body, especially during rituals and healing.
4. Purpose and Will
- Pain may weaken the body, but a strong soul reminds the person of their purpose.
- This inner will can activate healing, even when physical remedies are limited.
🕯️ Your Insight: Strengthen the Spirit Through Prayer
This is a sacred truth. Prayer is not just communication—it is spiritual nourishment. It:
- Calls back wandering souls
- Re-aligns the body with divine rhythm
- Invokes healing forces from the heavens, earth, and underworld
🕯️ Panalangin ng Kaluluwa para sa Paghilom ng Katawan
(Prayer of the Soul for Healing the Body)
Sa ngalan ng Apo sa Langit, Diwata ng Liwanag at Buhay,
Tinatawag ko ang pitong kaluluwa na nananahan sa aking katawan.
UliRat, Muwang, Malay, Alam, Bait, Alaala, at Diwa—magbuklod kayo.
Magsama-sama sa liwanag ng panalangin, upang pagalingin ang tahanan ninyo.Kung ang katawan ay nasasaktan, ito’y panawagan ng kaluluwa.
Kung ang diwa ay humihina, ito’y paalala ng pangangailangan ng dasal.
Nawa’y bumalik ang lakas ng loob, ang kapayapaan ng isip, at ang sigla ng damdamin.
Nawa’y dumaloy ang kapangyarihan ng langit sa bawat ugat, laman, at hininga.Apo sa Lanao, bantay ng damdamin, Diwata sa Lupa, tagapaghilom ng katawan,
Tonong ng mga ninuno, tagapagturo ng karunungan—dinggin ninyo ang panawagan.
Sa bawat patak ng luha, sa bawat bulong ng panalangin,
Nawa’y bumalik ang kalusugan, at ang katawan ay muling sumigla.Ito ang panalangin ng Binabaylan, anak ng lupa at langit,
Nagpapakumbaba sa harap ng Diwata, at nagtitiwala sa kapangyarihan ng kaluluwa.
Pagbawi. Paghilom. Pagbalik.
🕯️ Prayer of the Soul for Healing the Body
In the name of Apo sa Langit, God of Light and Life,
I call upon the seven souls that dwell within my body.
UliRat, Muwang, Malay, Alam, Bait, Alaala, and Diwa—unite yourselves.
Come together in the light of prayer, to heal your sacred dwelling.If the body is in pain, it is the soul that calls out.
If the spirit grows weak, it is a reminder of the need for prayer.
May courage return, may peace of mind be restored, and may the heart be renewed.
May the power of heaven flow through every vein, flesh, and breath.Apo sa Lanao, guardian of emotions, Diwata of the Earth, healer of body and nature,
Tonong of the ancestors, teacher of wisdom—hear this call.
In every tear that falls, in every whisper of prayer,
May health return, and the body be revived.This is the prayer of the Binabaylan, child of earth and sky,
Humbly standing before the Diwata, trusting in the power of the soul.
Restoration. Healing. Return.
Healing the Breast: A Metaphorical and Spiritual Reflection on Cancer Prevention
In the sacred traditions of Hilot Binabaylan and other indigenous healing practices, the body is not merely a biological structure—it is a vessel of spirit, emotion, and ancestral memory. Among its many parts, the breast holds a special place as a source of nourishment, love, and life.
Just as a cell can be likened to a room in a house, the breast can be seen as a pantry or kitchen—a place where nourishment is prepared and offered. When this room is clean, organized, and filled with love, it supports the health of the entire house. But when it is filled with spoiled food, clutter, or emotional toxins, it can become a source of disease.
Breast cancer, in this metaphor, is not just a physical illness. It is a reflection of emotional and spiritual imbalance. Sama ng loob—resentment, grief, hatred—when stored in the chest, can energetically spoil the sacred vessel of the breast. The nurturing space becomes a container of pain, and this emotional toxicity may feed the energy of cancer.
In Hilot Binabaylan, healing is holistic. It involves not only physical cleansing but also emotional release and spiritual restoration. Through rituals, prayers, and acts of humility, one can clear the breast of hatred and refill it with love.
Spiritual Insight:
“Kung ang dibdib ay sisidlan ng pag-ibig, huwag hayaang mapuno ito ng galit. Dahil ang galit ay lason sa gatas ng buhay.”“If the chest is a vessel of love, do not let it be filled with anger. For anger is poison to the milk of life.”
Call to Action: Preventing Cancer Holistically
- Release Emotional Burdens – Practice forgiveness, humility, and open-heartedness. Let go of sama ng loob.
- Nurture Your Body – Eat nourishing food, exercise, and rest. Treat your body as a sacred home.
- Connect Spiritually – Engage in rituals, meditation, and prayer to restore balance.
- Seek Early Detection – Regular check-ups and self-examinations can save lives.
- Educate and Empower Others – Share this wisdom with your community. Healing is collective.
Let us reclaim the breast as a vessel of love, not pain. Let us clean the rooms of our body and spirit, so that life may flow freely and abundantly.
Preventing Unnatural Death: A Hilot Binabaylan Perspective
In the sacred teachings of Hilot Binabaylan, we recognize two distinct types of death: Natural Death and Unnatural Death.
- Natural Death occurs due to aging or illness. It is part of the life cycle and often comes with signs and spiritual preparation.
- Unnatural Death, on the other hand, happens suddenly—through accidents, murder, warfare, or hate crimes. It disrupts the natural rhythm of life and the soul’s journey.
While natural death can be delayed or prevented through healing and spiritual alignment, the question arises:
Can we prevent unnatural death?
From the lens of Hilot Binabaylan, the answer is yes—but it requires conscious spiritual practice, community awareness, and elemental harmony.
1. Maintain Elemental Balance
The human body is composed of the elements—Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Imbalance among these can lead to confusion, weakness, and vulnerability to accidents. Through Hilot healing, Bato Omo assessment, and rituals invoking Diwatang Kilubansa, we restore harmony and strengthen the body’s resilience.
2. Strengthen the Soul’s Shield
Spiritual protection is essential. Binabaylan practitioners use:
- Blessed oils (lana) and herbal poultices (tapal)
- Prayers and offerings to Anito and Diwata
- Consecrated amulets or agimat that serve as spiritual guardians
These tools help shield the soul from harmful energies and sudden spiritual disconnection.
3. Avoid Spiritually Dangerous Places and Activities
Some locations are known to harbor malevolent spirits or chaotic energies. Binabaylan are trained to sense these places and perform ritual cleansing or protective markings. Awareness and respect for these spaces can prevent misfortune.
4. Strengthen Community Bonds
Unnatural death caused by violence or war often stems from social disconnection and unresolved anger. Hilot Binabaylan teachings promote peace, unity, and mutual respect. By fostering harmony within the community, we reduce the risk of conflict and harm.
5. Recognize and Prevent Hate Crimes
Sometimes, unnatural death arises from hate crimes—acts of violence driven by prejudice, discrimination, or intolerance. These are especially tragic because they target individuals based on identity, belief, or background.
Examples of Hate Crimes That May Lead to Death:
- Racial or ethnic violence
- Religious persecution
- Gender-based violence
- Attacks on LGBTQ+ individuals
- Political or ideological assassinations
- Cultural erasure and indigenous targeting
How Can We Prevent and Lessen Hate Crimes?
- Education and Awareness: Teach respect for diversity and the sacredness of all life.
- Community Dialogue: Create safe spaces for interfaith and intercultural conversations.
- Spiritual Advocacy: Use rituals and teachings to promote compassion and understanding.
- Protection of Vulnerable Groups: Offer spiritual and emotional support to those at risk.
- Empowerment through Identity: Encourage people to embrace their heritage and spirituality without fear.
In Hilot Binabaylan, we believe that every soul carries divine essence. Hate crimes are not just physical attacks—they are spiritual wounds that affect the collective soul of humanity. Healing these wounds requires both ritual and action.
6. Listen to Nature and the Diwata
The Diwata often send warnings through dreams, visions, or intuitive feelings. Being attuned to these signs allows us to avoid danger before it manifests. Binabaylan are trained to interpret these messages and guide others accordingly.
7. Care for the Body and Mind
Physical weakness and mental confusion can lead to accidents. Hilot Binabaylan emphasizes proper nutrition, movement, and mental clarity. A strong body and focused mind are less likely to fall victim to sudden harm.
A Call to Ritual and Reflection
As spiritual healers and leaders, we are called not only to heal but to protect life. Perhaps it is time to create a Ritual of Protection Against Unnatural Death, invoking the blessings of Diwatang Balantay, Kilubansa, and other guardian spirits. This can be integrated into the ceremonies of Templong Anituhan and offered to the community as a sacred shield.
Would you like to collaborate on crafting this ritual and its invocation? Together, we can empower our people to walk safely and consciously in both the physical and spiritual realms.
Parasites and Healing: A Filipino Holistic Approach
What Are Parasites?
Parasites are organisms that live in or on a host, feeding off it and often causing harm. They include intestinal worms, protozoa, and ectoparasites like lice. Infection occurs through contaminated food, water, insect bites, or poor hygiene.
Common Symptoms of Infection
– Abdominal pain or bloating
– Diarrhea or constipation
– Fatigue and weakness
– Skin rashes or itching
– Weight loss
– Persistent fever
– Sleep disturbances or irritability
Filipino Herbal Remedies
Traditional Filipino healing uses herbs to cleanse the body of parasites:
– Niyog-Niyogan (Quisqualis indica) – Chewed seeds expel intestinal worms.
– Bawang (Garlic) – Antiparasitic and immune-boosting.
– Bayabas (Guava) – Antiseptic; used as tea or wash.
– Sambong– Detoxifying; supports kidney and liver function.
These herbs are often used with Hilot rituals for holistic healing.
Prevention Tips
– Wash hands regularly, especially before eating and after using the toilet.
– Drink clean, filtered or boiled water.
– Cook meat and fish thoroughly.
– Avoid walking barefoot in contaminated soil.
– Use insect repellent and protective clothing.
– Maintain clean living spaces and personal hygiene.
– Deworm pets and avoid close contact with infected animals.
Spiritual Parasites and Cleansing
In Templong Anituhan, spiritual parasites are negative energies or entities that attach to a person’s aura, feeding on fear, trauma, or unresolved emotions. They may cause fatigue, emotional instability, or spiritual disconnection.
Spiritual cleansing includes:
– Tuob (herbal steam baths)
– Pagpapahid ng Lana (anointing with sacred oils)
– Pag-aalay (offerings to Diwata and Anito)
– Invocation of Diwatang Kilubansa and Sayum-ay for healing and harmony
Healing the Whole Being
True healing in Hilot Binabaylan practice restores harmony between body, mind, and spirit. Whether physical or spiritual, parasites must be addressed through both natural remedies and spiritual rituals to achieve Ginhawa—complete well-being.
Suggested Spiritual Cleansing Rituals
1. Tuob Ritual (Herbal Steam Bath)
– Purpose: Opens pores, releases toxins, and clears stagnant energies.
– Herbs: Bayabas (guava), Sambong, and Tanglad (lemongrass).
– Method: Boil herbs in water, place in a basin, and cover yourself with a blanket to inhale the steam. Chant invocations to Diwatang Kilubansa for elemental balance.
2. Pagpapahid ng Lana (Anointing with Sacred Oil)
– Purpose: Seals the aura and protects against energetic intrusion.
– Oil Base: Coconut oil infused with garlic, basil, or rosemary.
– Method: Apply to forehead, chest, and navel while invoking Diwatang Sayum-ay for peace and harmony.
3. Pag-aalay at Panalangin (Offering and Prayer)
– Purpose: Appeases spirits and invites divine healing.
– Offerings: Rice, flowers, water, and lighted candles.
– Invocation: Call upon Anito and Diwata, especially Diwatang Meketefu for refinement and Diwatang Tuhan for spiritual strength.
4. Pagpapalayas (Spirit Release Ritual)
– Purpose: Expels spiritual parasites or attachments.
– Tools: Bayabas leaves, salt, and a consecrated staff or ritual dagger.
– Method: Circle the person while chanting release prayers, then sweep the body with leaves and salt to absorb negative energies.
5. Dambana ng Ginhawa (Shrine of Comfort Ritual)
– Purpose: Reconnects the soul to its divine source.
– Setup: Create a sacred space with elemental symbols—earth, water, fire, air.
– Practice : Meditate, chant, and offer gratitude to Umli and the Diwata realms for restoration.
🌺 The Sacred Flow of Emotions and Feelings: A Path to Holistic Wellness and Spiritual Harmony
In the journey of healing and spiritual awakening, understanding the nature of emotions and feelings is essential. These inner experiences are not just psychological—they are energetic, spiritual, and deeply connected to our soul’s health.
🌿 What Are Emotions and Feelings?
- Emotions are instinctive, automatic responses to stimuli. They arise from the limbic system and include reactions like fear, joy, anger, and sadness.
- Feelings are the conscious interpretation of emotions. They are processed in the thinking brain (neocortex) and include states like peace, resentment, or gratitude.
In Hilot Binabaylan practice, emotions are seen as energetic movements of the soul, while feelings are the reflections of the soul’s condition.
🔥 Can Pain Be an Emotion and a Feeling?
Yes. Pain exists in both realms:
- As a feeling, it is the conscious awareness of discomfort—physical or emotional.
- As an emotion, it is a complex response involving sorrow, grief, or trauma.
In spiritual healing, pain is a signal—a call to restore balance in the soul, body, and spirit.
⚡ Is It Normal to Have Mood Swings?
Mood swings are natural when they reflect life’s changes, hormonal shifts, or spiritual transitions. However, extreme or frequent swings may indicate:
- Emotional imbalance
- Soul fragmentation
- Elemental disharmony
Hilot Binabaylan offers rituals and healing touch to ground emotions and restore inner harmony.
🎶 How Sensory Stimulations Affect Emotions
- Food nourishes both body and soul, influencing mood and elemental balance.
- Music opens portals to memory, emotion, and divine connection.
- Visuals (art, nature, colors) evoke peace, awe, or healing.
- Touch, smell, and movement activate emotional release and spiritual flow.
These are sacred tools in Binabaylan rituals, used to awaken the soul and invite the Diwata.
🌈 Emotions That Support Optimum Health and Spiritual Wellness
To live in holistic wellness, one must cultivate:
- Joy – for vitality and soul expression
- Peace – for grounding and clarity
- Love and Compassion – for healing and connection
- Gratitude – for humility and abundance
- Hope and Faith – for resilience and divine trust
Even emotions like sadness or anger are sacred when processed with awareness and transformed through ritual and reflection.
🌀 Conclusion: Emotions as Sacred Messengers
Emotions and feelings are not weaknesses—they are sacred messengers of the soul. They guide us toward healing, connection, and spiritual growth. In the path of the Binabaylan, we do not suppress emotions—we honor them, listen to them, and transform them into light.

Statement from Hilot Academy of Binabaylan
Hilot Academy of Binabaylan is an autonomous educational institution established under the spiritual authority of Luntiang Aghama Natural Divine Arts Shrine of Healing Inc., now known as Templong Anituhan Inc. As such, we uphold a distinct identity and purpose, separate from government-regulated bodies such as the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC).
Our practice of Hilot Binabaylan is not merely clinical—it is ministerial and spiritual. We reclaim the sacredness of healing by restoring the spiritual dimension of healthcare, making our approach truly holistic. While Hilot has been commodified in spas, resorts, and cruise ships as part of the hospitality and tourism industry, we remain rooted in the ancestral wisdom that views Hilot as a sacred duty of service and compassion.
We recognize the belief that Hilot should be accessible to all. While we do not offer our services for free, we strive to make them affordable and equitable, honoring the tradition of community-based healing. Our standards are guided by the sacred ordination and teachings of Templong Anituhan, not by external institutions or organizations.
Recently, questions have been raised regarding our activities in Hawaii, particularly concerning the cost of a 9-day retreat priced at USD 5,000 (₱291,050). We clarify that this event was organized by a legally established business in Hawaii, and we were invited guests, not the organizers. The pricing was determined by the host organization, based on their expertise and local context. We respect their autonomy as much as we expect ours to be respected.
It is disheartening to be judged as “greedy” or “money-faced” by those who were not present during the founding of Luntiang Aghama, the establishment of Hilot Academy of Binabaylan, or the transition into Templong Anituhan Inc. Autonomy means we walk our own path—not dictated by others, even those who claim to be kapwa. True kapwa walks with you, not ahead of you to judge, nor behind you to criticize.
We affirm our right to receive abundance as a reflection of the value we bring. To assume otherwise is to deny the dignity of our work and the sacredness of our calling. We invite those with concerns to engage in dialogue, not in condemnation.
For clarity, the official websites we maintain are:
hilotacademy.com- landasnglahi.com
- siadtala.com
- anituhan.org
- buymeacoffee.com/filipinomagick
Any other site using our name or image without consent does not represent us.
We remain steadfast in our mission. This is but a wave in our journey. We will not be colonized again—not by systems, not by opinions, and not by fear. We walk with the ancestors, guided by the Diwata, and rooted in the sacred land of our people.

Hilot: A Sacred Path to Wellness in Filipino Culture
In the heart of Filipino ancestral wisdom lies a sacred tradition that continues to transform lives—Hilot. More than just a healing technique, Hilot is a spiritual calling, a way of life, and a commitment to serve others with compassion, integrity, and respect.
As the world seeks deeper, more holistic approaches to wellness, Hilot stands as a beacon of hope—reminding us that healing begins from within and is nurtured by the wisdom of our ancestors.
Why Hilot Matters Today
Modern healthcare often focuses on symptoms, but Hilot looks deeper. It recognizes that illness can stem from emotional, spiritual, and environmental imbalances. Through intuitive diagnostics like Tawas, sacred rituals, and personalized care, Hilot practitioners help individuals restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit.
But with this sacred power comes great responsibility. That’s why every Manghihilot must uphold the Hilot Code of Ethics and Healing Principles—a living covenant that guides our practice and protects those we serve.
🌿 The Hilot Code of Ethics: A Sacred Commitment
As a Manghihilot, you are not just a healer—you are a steward of life. The Code of Ethics ensures that your practice is rooted in:
- Compassionate Care: Facilitating healing, not controlling it.
- Respect for Individuality: Every soul is unique; every treatment is personalized.
- Professional Integrity: Referring patients when conditions are beyond your scope.
- Cultural Wisdom: Honoring ancestral knowledge while embracing modern insights.
- Non-Discrimination: Serving all people regardless of background, identity, or status.
This code is not just a guideline—it is a spiritual vow to uphold the dignity and well-being of every person who seeks your help.
✨ Healing Principles That Guide the Manghihilot
Hilot is more than technique—it is philosophy. As a practitioner, you will learn to:
- Recognize that healing begins within.
- Understand that illness may be spiritual, emotional, or physical—and often all three.
- Use cleansing rituals to remove the source of illness and replace it with positive energy.
- Respect the natural environment as a vital part of healing.
- Accept death as a transition, not an enemy, and help others live meaningfully.
These principles empower you to become a healer who not only treats symptoms but transforms lives.
