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
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.
