What is Yellow Bamboo?
Yellow Bamboo is a path of spiritual/self development,
healing, health, protection and white magic founded in
Singaraja, the northern tip of Bali. It is a spiritual
practice control one’s inner energy in order to manifest
our spirit’s intention to develop, heal, help others,
protection etc.
As a spiritual path of white magic leading human beings
back to Tuhan (God), Yellow Bamboo relies on moral virtues,
concentration/focus, and belief in Tuhan (God).
In general, Yellow Bamboo is concerned with acquiring
the necessary meditative stability & concentration,
focus, internal energy and spiritual power to bring about
healing, protection, tranquillity, and whatever positive
goal that is desired. It rapidly build health, self confidence,
concentration, endurance and well being as well as many
other practical benefits.
Human beings are very powerful and are limited only by
the nature and strength of their beliefs. Yellow Bamboo
entrusts the practitioner to the Almighty God who is without
limitation.
Yellow Bamboo is a path of Tenaga Dalam (Internal Power
– Nei Gong). This involves development of internal power
via yogic breathing methods (pranayama) and meditative
stabilisation to create inner calm, focus and strength
of body, mind and spirit. Essentially, Yellow Bamboo combines
internal power development with the spiritual force of
Balinese mysticism.
In contrast to other spiritual paths, Yellow Bamboo produces
results quickly. In as little as 2 or 3 days of intensive
practice, practitioners can feel the energy as it grows
in their bodies. Natural elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water,
Wood, Space) that exist in the world also exist within
our human body, and Yellow Bamboo exercises nourish, stimulate,
strengthen and increase them. With regular Yellow Bamboo
practice, we can channel and control this energy for positive
intentional goals.
One facet of Yellow Bamboo energy is the very powerful
protective aspects which react with full force against
anyone who is really intent on harming a protected person
or property.
Being a spiritual practice of white magic, if someone
uses Yellow Bamboo for negative intentions, it will either
have no effect, or the energy will boomerang back on the
practitioner. The power of Yellow Bamboo also can only
be used when it is really needed, and can not be used
for frivolous purposes such as tests, contests and challenges.
When the practices of physical exercises, meditation and
cleansing are carried out diligently the energy will automatically
become available when it is required without need to summon
it.
Yellow Bamboo practitioners must always be willing and
ready to help people in suffering, need. or distress.
The benefit of Yellow Bamboo is to create the necessary
power within you to achieve whatever positive goals you
desire. Whether you desire self-realization, personal/professional/business/financial
development, strength, confidence, success, greater self-esteem
etc, Yellow Bamboo provides practical methods for easily
and naturally achieving your outcomes.
Regular practice of the physical techniques, cleansing
and meditation results in belief in the heart and mind
that anything and everything is possible.
Once you begin to experience the unlimited force of Yellow
Bamboo you can truly accomplish whatever you wish. One
of the many benefits of the Yellow Bamboo is the immediate
results you obtain actually while you are practicing.
The Yellow Bamboo program is a cohesive, step-by-step
method of attaining spiritual and personal development.
You will achieve more spiritual, personal, business and
financial development in one month than in years of yoga
and meditation.
Yellow Bamboo may have similarities with other spiritual
traditions, in particular, Javanese mysticism, Majaphahit
mysticism, Hinduism, Tibetan tantrism, Chi Kung (Qi Gong)
and healing practices. Through meditation, prayer, visualisation,
breath control, physical exercises and ritual, practitioners
learn to transcend the mind and body.
Yellow Bamboo, although Hindu based due to Balinese culture,
is flexible and open, and thus, does not impose any particular
religion on its practitioners. There are Muslim, Christian
and Buddhist practitioners of Yellow Bamboo
Yellow Bamboo has over 30,000 members worldwide. Because
it requires a mature mind to practise, students generally
must be above 16 years of age.
