Today on my way from Seminyak to Ubud I stopped for a healing session with the respected and well known healer Tjokorda Gde Rai, who is 88 years old and still practises with the gift God gave him. It was an absolute pleasure getting to met him and receving a healing session, however according to him I am absolutely healthy and just need to follow my path God created. I do hope you enjoy the interview.
What is your name? Tjokorda Gde Rai
Where do you come from? Sukawati, near Ubud.
As a little child, do you remember what was your dream job? I have always felt spiritual and connected to something higher than myself. I enjoy to help others. The older I got the more I felt the healing power. Now I have helped already many people in my life. I am already almost 88 years old. Who knows how many more I can help before I will be gone from earth.
What is your profession now? I am a traditional balinese healer
Are you happy with your work life? Yes, I can help others and see the beauty in this life. I dont really work. I just do this. This is not work. This is my gift. I dont have a salary, I survive from donations.
If you could relive your life what advise would you give yourself? To accept my gift and practise it.
What does happiness mean for you? Happiness is when the soul and spirit connect. Love is happiness. You will find happiness when you love. But you can not love too quickly or else you will think you found happiness but you will find sadness. You must take time. Like a flower, if you pick it too soon it dies, if you pick it too late it is dead. If you dont give enough water to the flower it dies, if you give too much it dies. You must allow the flower (love) to grow at its own speed and when the moment is correct, it will survive and keeps on growing bigger and much stronger.
If you could grant yourself one wish, what would it be? To heal many more people before I die. Who knows when will I be gone. We are human and not robot. We need to one day go to sleep and fly away. I have 9 children 17 grandchildren and already great grandchildren. I support them so my wish is that they will always have enough even when I am gone.
What is the most important thing in life? To stop using your mind too much and listen to your soul. The mind is corrupted. The soul is a like a virgin. It is sacred. Events in our life changed our mind and what we think. Our soul is still pure, however we build walls around it and change ourselves and dont feel ourselves anymore. It is important to feel yourself.
What advise for life can you give me? Take action. Dont worry too much or else you dont move forward. If you are always thinking and worried you are stuck in your mind. Dont worry and follow the path God created. You are alive so live the life and dont go through life but be actually just a body without a soul. Be yourself and take action. Do whatever you wish to do. The only limit in life is your mind.
The beautiful door and window on the entry in a adjacent room where I was waiting for him to finish with a healing of a few other patients.
The offering I brought him along with some donations
The practise of the healer. Depending what is wrong with you he will ask you to sit in front of his chair (while he heals you) or to lie down.
The healers tool box with different herbs, tools and juices.
The table where the donations and offerings are kept.
The healers loyal dog who himself felt spiritual and the eyes of the healer and the dog resembled one another. Guess they are a good pair.
Thanks for sharing - beautiful message and pictures :-)
