Tjokorda Gde Rai is world renowned healer and considered one of the most important healers on the island of Bali. He has been written about in numerous articles, medical journals, newspapers and books. His “clients” have included headline celebrities and internationally-renown authors and medical experts, to local Balinese from remote parts of the Island. He has trained many healers worldwide, and his teaching comes from traditional Balinese lontars (sacred texts) passed down from generation to generation. At age 77, he is the grandson of the last King of Ubud.
I was meeting royalty no less. No, wait....I was being healed by royalty. I'm sorry but frankly it really doesn't get much better than this. Who do you know who goes to Bali and gets healed by royalty? Eh? Eh?
I have to tell you though my healing with Tjokorda was life changing for me. No word of a lie. I'm sure you'll appreciate that I won't go into the details of what he uncovered, so to speak as, it's private. But he touched and consequently healed a few things that no one else on this earth knew about so how he spoke about it with absolute precision is pretty amazing.
We walked into another compound where Tjokorda was on a pavilion in the process of finishing off a healing on this guy. 'There's nothing wrong with you - why are you here' he joked. To which Wayan replied 'maybe he's to shy to ask for a bigger penis'...my jaw dropped to the floor as all of a sudden my Balinese Herbal Healer slipped slowly down off her pedal stall and then catapulted back up to the top and even higher still! Hilar.
Tjokorda sat on a chair and I sat on the floor in between his legs. He touched my head at various points, put his fingers in my ears (so pleased I cleaned them that morning!) and then placed his hands on various points over my back and chest. I then lay down where he got to work on my feet with this tiny little twig like thingy. Jeeeesus it really hurt at some points. Again, he made 'oooing' and 'aaaaaring' noises whenever I shot up and yelped in pain. His diagnosis left me stuck for words which never happens. I had some very painful memories which I'd been carrying with me for many, many years. These had consequently been affecting my entire digestive system and top half of my liver. He applied pressure with the twig thingy to the points of my feet which represented these areas as he said this - I nearly cried out in pain.
The then started the healing process. He told me he could see the sadness in my face - I had to be reborn. I needed a new face - hurrah! Sadly not literally. I had to breath in and out really deeply to 'suck my face in' - at one point he and Wayan were repeatedly tell me to breath in and out 'harder, harder, harder'. I then had to hold my breath and release. He then touched various points over my body and went to work again on my feet. All over a sudden a huge surge of sadness came over me and tears uncontrollably came steaming down my face. I was so sad but not if you get what I mean. It was a release I suppose but I couldn't stop crying for ages. It was really emotional and intense.
I tell you something though, once I'd stopped sobbing I felt like a different person and I have done ever since. Afterwards I could visibly see the difference in my complexion. Seriously meeting Tjokorda completely changed my life, my perspective. Everything was different for me after that experience.

my sister told me that tjakorda rai remembered my visit with him 15 years ago! she has just returned from bali. now, i spent 30 mornings with a yogi high priest named Mengku from the kingdom of Mengwi... I went to meet a shaman who was once a woodcutter who was struck by lighting and received the call to become a shaman...i paid for a ceremony from him... i know he was world renowned... i stayed at the home of indra and putu... but i can't remember tjakorda rai by name... will you give me more description of this shaman?
Thanks so much for your words of encouragement regarding my writing and the blog. So glad you've enjoyed reading it.
in terms of description of Tjakorda, I can't really remember what he looks like...quite old but not as old as he really is....sorry i can't be more specific - I can't really picture him.
I just flew in from Bali this morning and also saw Tjokorda Gde Rai on Sunday. He looks quite old. His skin is wrinkled but still has a sheen and elasticity to it that many older people don't have. He's probably between 5ft 6 to 8. Quite thin but with shining eyes and a joyful humourous manner. His hands smelt of tobacco. He had one of those usual Balinese headdressess on so I wasn't aware of his hair but it didn't seem competely grey. Dark eyes (obviously). Sarong and shirt. Quite long limbs and fingers. . . He lives about 25 mins drive from Ubud central. HIs home had numerous structures.. cement 'floors' with four poles and roof. Some with statues for ceremonies. We drove straight into his yard. I hope that helps.
I have just returned from Bali (Ubud) last night and also saw Tjokorda Gde Rai on Sunday(26.6.2011) If you want to know anything about that experience please feel welcome to email me at revellw@hotmail.com ((*_*())
