Detailed itinerary

Balinese shamanic healing is a traditional form of healing practiced in Bali, Indonesia, deeply rooted in the island's cultural and spiritual beliefs. It combines elements of animism, Hinduism, and traditional medicine. Shamans, known as "balians," are respected healers who are believed to have a special connection with the spirit world and possess the ability to communicate with spirits to diagnose and treat illnesses.

The healing process typically involves rituals, prayers, herbal remedies, and sometimes trance-like states induced through chanting or meditation. Balians often use traditional tools such as talismans, crystals, and other symbolic objects during the healing sessions. The aim is not only to address physical ailments but also to restore spiritual balance and harmony within the individual and the community.

Overall, Balinese shamanic healing reflects the interconnectedness of the physical, spiritual, and social realms in Balinese culture.

Pura Mengening is located in the village of Saraseda, Tampaksiring, Gianyar regency, Bali. The temple area is very cool with beautiful natural scenery. Pura Mengening is a temple to the place of melukat (perform self-cleaning with holy water) and a place to request tirtha (holy water for ceremonies for Hindus). Inside this area there is a pool for self-cleaning. This pool is divided into two, namely the pool of women's baths and one separate pool for men. These springs are natural sources of springs that have existed since the 11th century. The water in this bath pool is very cool and clear. To be able to bathe in this pool is expected to present the canag and incense before then take a bath and pray for the coolness given physically and spiritually.
