Hi Steveb,
If you google 'balian' there is some very good information on the net.
The reason i insisted my husband see a particular balian who is a healer is because my husband has a slipped disc.
We didn't tell the balian what the problem is, but he knew within seconds. Wise-man, on discovering the seriousness of the problem he refused to physically manipulate or massage my husband's back, instead choosing to give my husband very good practical advice.
My husband would have been a lot better off if he'd followed the advice, unfortunately he hasn't.
