BRIEF BACKGROUND

The practice of Hilot is a part of the Filipino way of life. Traditionally, prior to the popularity of modern medical doctors, the Hilot Practitioner was the health care giver of the community. Like all traditions, it has seen its share of being pushed to the background at the arrival of new methods, new medicines and new technology. Lately, in the worldwide resurgence of alternative forms of medicine and the research and study of the “old” ways of healing, Hilot is re-established as the Filipino Healing Art based on scientific- universal and natural laws.

 

Touch is the modality of Hilot. Initially, one might think it is simply a massage, but Hilot is more. The training of Hilot Practitioners involves learning the concepts and philosophy of traditional healing, instilling an individual value process and its relevance to Hilot Healing and understanding the body functions for the application of Hilot Healing. The education of the Hilot Practitioner is holistic, so too is the application of Hilot - holistic involving the biological, social, and psychological aspects of life and living.

 

Practiced in spas all over the country and abroad, Hilot is gaining in popularity as this age old tradition is re-discovered to help us all live a healthy and balanced life.

CONCEPTS OF HILOT

Health is the linkage between the Universal and Natural laws.

Universal Law - The principles of universal law states that there is one force that governs the entire universe. This force is present in everything from a single atom to the creation of man and the entire universe. This force gives out vibrations called electromagnetic field (emf) modulating harmoniously in each creation, putting everything in its proper place and precise order. The moment there is a disruption of this modulation, it manifests in the human form as sickness or dis-order/dis-ease in the harmony of the human faculties.

 

What causes the disruption? Universal law constitutes that change starts from the inside; referring to our attitudes and value systems which bring about different reactions in the human body. These reactions result in the secretion of enzymes that bring about the imbalances.
