This is the first time,I am writing something about an individual. I normally write stories,Poems and Political Essays.. But this time,I want to write about this Man... Ketut Jaya.
In the Recent past(say since last two years ), I shifted my holiday travels from Thailand to Bali island. I have visited Bali 5 times in last two years.I got a personal driver and guide there by name Komang Urip. So it is easy for me to roam around the island the way I want and to the places I want to go.
During my visit to Bali during November 2018, I was told by a co traveler about Balinese Healing methods and the Master healers of Bali. Balinese healers are not trained by any institute. basically they follow their Father and ancestors who were traditional healers . Some years back,people in bali go more to the healers than to hospitals. Some healers welcome illnesses like cancer even.
In that visit, I manage to reach the House of one popular healer in ubud,by Name Cokorda Rai. He was very popular once. Now he is old..More than 85 I guess. There were two three people waiting for him when I arrived.. I waited an hour till it come to my turn. He just touched my hands and forehead and told me "you do not have any illness you can go".. I was disappointed but gave the donation of 350000 IDR ( about INR 1750) and left...
After that,I was searching in the internet about Balinees Healers.. I read a lot about Pakman and Ketut Liyer (two healers).. Finely I got to know about Ketut Jaya..who later turned to be my Healer,Guru and a Good friend.
I was going through a severe problem with my legs. There was this unbearable thigh pain and on top of that severe knee pain also. I was unable to sleep many nights. I tried Modern Medicine..Ortho-Nuro doctors.. But no changes. Then gone for Ayurvedic Treatments..Done Kadi Vasthi and other uzhichil treatments. had a lot of Kashayams and Gulikas. ..But no result... I went for 10 days physiotherapy (including Matrix ) but nothing changed..One Ortho doctor asked me to join a Gym and do some mild exercises. That gave me little relaxation.. But not a full cure..the pains Persists ..
Then I decided..Let me go to Bali at the earliest and meet Ketut Jaya. I booked in Malayesia Airways because that was the cheapest available. My most favorite airlines- Thai Airways was charging more than double.
Straight from Denpasar Airport,Komang took me to Ketut's place which some 4-5 KMs from Ubud town.. Ketut's house is a Herbal garden I must call. He got a pet pig which think Ketut is his dad...
Lot of roosters,birds,squirrels etc around. Ketut was waiting for me with his wide smile. He gave me a glass of Jamu (a traditional Balinese drink) and asked me how he can help me.. I explained him in short, the problems I am facing. He asked me to follow him to his treatment room behind the house.It looks like you are entering to a harry Potter movies scene. I got little scared.. But Ketut was smiling widely. His smile gave me confidence and courage...The room was filled with crystals, bells, bowls, bottles of oil, herbs, unguents, statues, carvings, swatches of cockerel tail feathers and sticks of incense.
He first asked me to take permission from my own body whether it is ready for the healing.. That moment I guessed that it is going to be a tough time for me.. I did the same. Then he started the treatment. First sprinkled an oil on my legs and back side till neck and did some massage. till then it was fine..I enjoyed.. Ketut asked me how I feel..I said fine thank you.
Then started the real treatment.. my feet was pinched with some kind of knife or spanner or something (i didn't see). Each fingers on feet were pulled up and down. I don't know what all he did but I can tell you one thing that "it was that one hour,I have gone thru, was the most painful hour in my life". I never had gone thru such a severe pain any time before.
After that he has brought a wheel which resonate with a shivering noise. he brought it to my ears. Then he put some stones on my forehead,neck chest and stomach and has done some pooja with the bell and flowers.He then asked me to call my name three times..Call back my soul to my body.. my god..It was something I cannot explain.. I was like floating in the air and finally like falling down on to the massage table.
Then he has given me a ten minute speech about Karma..he told me that I am the only person who can face my karma.The god has given me an opportunity to come to this planet and it is my job to make it worthwhile.
Then He took me to a small room(sauna) with lot of tubes with holes. Steam started coming from them and the room became hot. Ketut was sitting next to me.. It lasted for 20 minutes.Then we came out.
It was almost two hours 15 minutes since the treatment started. He gave me a small quantity( 20 ml) of local made arak and told me that it is for some kind of internal healing..
I asked him "Ketut..please tell me..do I have any serious ailments?"
He answered " we won't say any such things..My job is to remove the Blocks if any".. I was happy with his answer and I understood that he has removed all the blocks on me..Physically and mentally.
he has used Balinese reflexology, Reiki,and his own methodology of deep tissue massage.
Dears.. I came out as a new man.. My pains started lowering.. and I must tell you that,before I leave Bali(I was there for 4 days), I was completely out of pains.. Believe or not.. up to you..but this is my experience. Ketut didn't ask me to come again..but I will go again to him for follow up.. or at least to listen to his wise words or to enjoy a Glass of Jamu..
If you go to Bali, you can contact Ketut at +62 878 624 919 27 or ketutjaya1967@ gmail.com.
Ketut..Such an amazing personality... A Humanist ... Healer.. Guru .. Friend..what not
