Whenever the Balinese feels like there is something wrong in their body, there is negativity in their body, they have bad dreams or nightmares, they will do a spiritual purification ritual. This ritual involves washing off our face and body with holy water in hope the bad energy would go away.
In terms of the right time to do the purification ritual, the locals believe it is best to do it on the full moon day or new moon day. Just like it affects the volume of water in the ocean, we believe the same thing happens inside our body. The moon phase affects the energy in our body, makes it unbalanced so then it affects the way we are thinking, the way we make decisions, our emotion, mentality, physically and spiritually. Therefore, doing the purification ritual will help balance the energy.
You will be taken to a temple where it has an eternal holy water flowing from the ground. From the area of the source of the holy water, it glides down to the area of the purification ritual.
