The practice

Chakra Healing, the Balinese Way

Chakra healing balances the body’s energy centres. In Bali it is woven into balian healing: village healers, called balian or dukun, draw on taksu, a divine energy, to clear blockages and restore harmony.

Authentic healers, usually found through local referrals, personalise each treatment. Energy scanning and craniosacral-style touch locate imbalances; herbs, mantras and holy water complete the work. Many visitors describe powerful emotional and physical release.
