I've heard that Fashion Designer Noubikko will be inviting some of the best from Asia to represent the new wave of technique called Hilot. Actually Hilot , he said is not new technique but centuries however but not popular abroad. The colebrity designer is an ardent believer of Hilot. He is also sponsoring HIlot experts to train others. A negotiation is being carefully arranged now with the help of the Knighs of Rizal worldwide to help and promote Hilot to the world.

Marcella's Answer

There is none... I think anywhere in Europe, there is none. Hilot is very popular as most Asians and almost all Filipinos know about hilot but very few actually know how to do it. Many say only gifted people know hilot... I just hope that those gifted people can teach others as well. I would be the first to enroll if somone around here will offer this. A week seminar will it be enough?

I've heard that he is finishing a work arrangement outside the Philippines at the moment. The convention I think will be this spring after summer. No specific date, that I've heard. We hope he can come. If he will not be available, there is another Lady named Daisy who I believe is a prodigy of Moises and also considered expert. She is availalble now in the Philippines also doing some lectures.

Its a technique that can not be learned in books, so it should be learned directly from someone who knows. I would suggest to learn it from the masters only to get the full benefit. You cant fool people who goes to massage clinic. They will know if you are good or not. They can feel the difference. Thats why Hilot tops the list of many techniques because, the customers are the ones promoting it more than the masseurs...

Many things that came from tradition were also written like the church. They are based on tradition but were written in a very precise way that it carried them through the years. Hilot, I believe, is the same. Practice though tradition keeps it going but writing about it keeps it alive... and popular.

I really do not believe its spirituality. Its all about being pure to yourself to give more of yourself in the form of healing massage. Passion is given at its best when the giver is purely passionate about it. Many Hilot masseurs have this sense of spiritual purity in their passion to do the massage that makes them very effective. Its actually make them special.

Its actually a word of mouth. You hear if from every Filipinos all over the world. The word hilot is commonly translated into english as massage, but they always say they know someone who is a "real" hilot masseure. This gives me a big question...then there should be a hilot master? Where are these masters? People are interested to meet them.

I have tried hilot once when I was in the US by visiting expert, I think "as is" is good. It has its own identity and character which makes it different from thai, siatsy or any other massage that I have tried. My American friend you tried it too said that the effect of hilot is more "addicting" if I may when your life is more stressful than normal. What I mean is its more relaxing than ordinary massage.

I think its a good lesson plan if it can incorporate traditional and the newer technique that most experts have been saying. Technique evolves into something better and better through experience. Moises, I heard that he has travelled around the world and gathered experiences from different technique that he incorporates into his own style. Then he teaches these techniques to his prodigy. I think this is the one that will capture the attention of the Europeans. Its something new that they wanted to experience and learn.

There are many that you can read on the internet, but learning it from the experts has no substitutes. Pressure techinique of the hand is something you can not learn by reading. It can only be learn by showing and giving example. That is the reason why, Hilot is not popular in the West because this oriental eastern tradition can not be taught on books alone.

European always like something new and if better they will grab it by hand if possible. The popularity of Thai and Shiatsu massage are raking the market in many corners of the city. Until here comes another technique that they have read on the internet but don't know. So excitement is around it. The International Convention of Alternative medicine which includes massages techniques will surely ask for the presence of Hilot as one as main feature of the event.

What I have heard is that there will be a convention of masseurs from allover the world which will be held in Prague. Noubikko, an ardent supporter of the Philippine Culture will sponsor Hilot as a therapeutic healing massage to represent the Philippines. I've heard this is already in negotiating process with the sponsors. I've seen a couple of press release that he made some month ago. I believe you are not alone. Many are expecting this Hilot. Many, I for one, would like to learn from the experts coming from the Philippines.

For religious people, it is the home of the original Infant Jesus. Sto Nino de Praga is the original icon which inspired Sto Nino de Cebu. For historians, Prague will have so much to be proud of. Charles the 1V who was the king of Bohemia (now province of Czech Republic) was the first Holy Roman Emperor... For intellectuals, Prague was the favorite place of Einstein. For mucisians, Mozart used to play in Prague.... The city of Prague is magical in beauty and architecture.... Safefy? The worst you can find in pickpocket, and these are not czech but tourist pickpockers victimizing other tourists. Location? Center of Europe.... historical places that are available to see dates back in the 9th century.... Having a coffee in the Old Town is pure magic!

We were informed that a group of experts will be headed to Prague to train and give trainings to Europeans. I think, a therapeutic massage convention is being planned at the moment which will be held sometime this year.
