How to receive a Bali Spiritual Blessing
A spiritual blessing in Bali is one-of-a-kind. If your life could use a little spiritual awakening from an ancient tradition, scheduling a trip to The Island of the Gods can provide you with just that! Including purification and the welcoming of good spirits, it’s an experience you don’t want to miss.
HOW A BALI SPIRITUAL BLESSING WORKS
The island of Bali holds a lot of spiritual wisdom and traditional practices meant to bring balance to one’s life. For those who believe in the spiritual power of ceremonies, the purpose of a Bali blessing is to bring more harmony between yourself and the universe, balance the chakras, release karma from past lives that might still plague you, and encourage prime health, happiness, safety, finances, and a bright future.
The blessing includes a ceremony where holy water is poured on you for purification, and the person performing the ceremony will chant mantras in ancient Sanskrit and include prayer and offerings. The water is significant because it represent chi, or the flow of energy. The ceremony can also include:
- Rice being placed on your forehead for success and good fortune
- Hands being waved to honor the memory of your ancestors
- Pieces of thread being placed on the body to represent strength
- Couples in the ceremony feeding each other small amounts of food to signify a prosperous and joyful future together
You will normally be kneeling or sitting for the ceremony. You’ll also receive a Tri Datu bracelet after the ceremony made of the colors red, white, and black, each sacred in their own way.
RECEIVING A BLESSING FOR YOUR WEDDING
Bali spiritual blessings are popular for weddings in Bali too and are performed by a real priest. If you’re interested in eloping, re-committing, or having a destination wedding in Bali, a spiritual blessing is a great addition to the celebration of good fortune and love for a lifetime with your partner. Many of them can take place right in the same location as your wedding ceremony.
If you want to have a Western wedding as well, you can have your legal ceremony at home first and then follow it with a Bali trip for your Balinese blessing. That could include just the two of you, or you can invite other friends or family members to join.
WHERE TO GET A BALI SPIRITUAL BLESSING
The Bali blessing can be performed in different locations depending on how you sign up for one. Going through a hotel, agency, or wedding planning company is the best way, and the planning is handled for you and you’ll know ahead of time the correct clothing for the blessing ceremony.
