In this episode we explore a healing art that is as ancient as it is alive, a practice born in the temples of Bali that speaks to both body and spirit. This practice is called Shiva Murti, a powerful energy-healing modality rooted in Balinese Hinduism and the animistic traditions of the island.

At its core, Shiva Murti means ”Form of Shiva,” Shiva being the divine principle of transformation, destruction of what no longer serves, and renewal. The practice invites the healer-practitioner to channel sacred energies, unhook the blocks held in the physical and energetic body, and invoke a field of consciousness where healing flows.

Unlike many healing modalities that build slowly over months or years, Shiva Murti has a reputation for producing swift, tangible shifts: relief from pain, release of emotional or energetic hold-downs, and a deep sense of alignment of body, mind and spirit. The work often involves mantra, breath, invocation of divine archetypes, and techniques to locate, break up, and clear energy blockages in the body's subtle systems. It's simultaneously a healing art and a spiritual path, as students of the modality are often called to commitment, ritual, and a daily practice.

Importantly, Shiva Murti is not divorced from its cultural roots. It was developed and transmitted by the Balinese High Priest and Master Teacher Ratu Nabe in Bali, Indonesia, and carries the lineage integrity of that tradition.

Neil Aaron is one of the foremost teachers of this sacred art, with over twenty-eight years of teaching experience. Neil was formally trained and initiated multiple times in Bali by Master Teacher and High Priest Ratu Nabe. Having attained the highest level in the Shiva Murti tradition, he was honored with the title Jero and granted permission to teach this lineage internationally. As founder of The Shiva Murti Learning Center, Neil offers training at all levels and leads immersive journeys to Bali, where his students have the rare opportunity to study directly with Ratu Nabe and experience the living essence of this ancient healing tradition.
