Usada Tapa Brata by Bali Usada Health Meditation is one of Bali Usada’s main programs. The health meditation taught in Bali Usada itself is a meditation technique to train the mind to become harmonious, which entails strong concentration, followed with other good virtues, namely: consciousness, calmness, gentleness, compassion. Having a harmonious mind will help us heal illness in the body and eliminate bad reactions in our memories.
The Bali Usada Health Meditation combines a meditation practice of concentration, loving-kindness, mindfulness, and wisdom to bring about a specific quality of the mind which we call the “Harmonious Mind.” It is this quality of the Harmonious Mind that will be utilized to heal the sickness in our gross or physical/meridian/chakra/mental body, mind, and memories.
Usada Tapa Brata Meditation Training Program
There are three levels of Usada, namely Usada Tapa Brata 1, Usada Tapa Brata 2, and Usada Tapa Brata 3. Each level has its own practice techniques. Below is a brief description of each level of the Usada Tapa Brata.
Programme
Usada Tapa Brata 1 (UTB 1) is one of Bali Usada’s main programs. It takes the form of an intensive meditation retreat which lasts for seven days and six nights. UTB1 always starts on sunday afternoons, and finishes on saturday noons. The purpose of UTB1 is to bring about our harmonious mind and use it to heal the sickness in our bodies.
Over the one week period, participants will be guided to thoroughly learn about the Bali Usada meditation technique. From learning how to sit in meditation properly, to practicing the healing meditation technique. Each meditation session will start with a brief explanation and instruction, and ends with a short physical relaxation exercise. There will be eight guided meditation sessions each day.
In between these meditation sessions, participants will be able to listen to Pak Merta’s talks twice daily. Pak Merta will explain about the technique and the philosophy which underlies the Usada Tapa Brata dan health meditation, complete with various interesting stories and case studies from Pak Merta’s own practices.
Participants will also practice Bali Usada’s special exercises twice daily. These exercises are designed to help us relax, feel refreshed, and maintain the level of our energy and determination. This activity is an inseparable part of the overall meditation process.
Noble Silence
To help calm our mind, improve our concentration level, further activate the healing process, and deepen our experiences, participants will observe the “noble silence” (or in Balinese we call it “tritapa”) during the period of Usada Tapa Brata. Noble silence will enable the participants to contain themselves by not talking, writing, reading, or daydreaming.
Meal and Snack
All meals and snacks served during the program are vegetarian. Vegetarian cuisine is important to help the detoxification process, as well as to calm our body and mind. Drinks such as water, tea, and coffee will be served throughout the course of the training.
Usada Tapa Brata 2 (UTB2) is the main continuation program from UTB1. Where participants who plan to take part in this program are advised to have attended UTB1, diligently meditate, and usually sit for 1 hour. An intensive meditation retreat for 12 days and 11 nights, starting on Tuesday afternoon and ending on Saturday afternoon the following week. The purpose of the UTB2 program is to train Harmonious Minds to become skilled and to heal diseases in our bodies more proactively.
During the 12 days, participants will be guided to further refine their meditation technique. From learning the four elements, 12 the characteristics, and the seven frequencies of our body, to revisiting the body’s four structures. Each meditation session will commence with a brief introduction and instruction, and finish with a short physical relaxation exercise. In UTB2 , participants are encouraged to be more independent in their meditation practices.
In between these meditation sessions, participants will be able to listen to Pak Merta’s talks twice daily. Pak Merta will explain about the technique and the philosophy which underlies the Usada Tapa Brata dan health meditation, complete with various interesting stories and case studies from Pak Merta’s own practices.
As with UTB1, in between these meditation sessions, participants will be able to listen to Pak Merta’s talks between meditation sessions and practice simple Bali Usada’s special exercises. Throughout the UTB2 program, participants will observe the noble silence and adopt a vegetarian diet.
Usada Tapa Brata 3 (UTB3) is the next step after UTB2. Participants who set the intention to participate in this program are advised to have completed UTB2 at least twice. UTB3 is an intensive meditation retreat which lasts for 12 days and 11 nights. It starts on a tuesday afternoon and finishes on the saturday noon of the following week. The purpose of UTB3 is to reach a condition that is called One-pointedness.
During the 12 days, participants will be prepared and guided to reach the state of one-pointedness. This includes understanding the concept of one-pointedness, learning the various different techniques that are available, and choosing the one that is suitable to every participant. Each meditation session will commence with a brief introduction and instruction, and finish with a short physical relaxation exercise. In UTB3, participants are even more encouraged to be independent in their meditation practices.

Throughout the UTB2 program, participants will observe the noble silence and adopt a vegetarian diet.
It is important to note that this meditation technique does not diminish in any way the importance of medical consultation and treatments which are done by medical doctors and other professional health practitioners. Each and every meditation friend has the freedom and responsibility to care for their personal conditions and illnesses while participating in Bali Usada health meditation activities.
Personal responsibilities including the ability to take care of oneself in general, going in and out of the meditation room, discipline in taking personal medicine, etc. For participants who have some physical disability, it is necessary to have a caregiver who can accompany them as a participants during the program.
Intensive Health Meditation (Tapa Brata) has been postponed temporarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To meet the demand, we hold Tapa Brata Usada 1 Live Online training via the Zoom app. Participants will be guided to do intensive, non-stop exercises for 7 days, gradually from the basics to being able to meditate independently, to maintain health, and to do healing.
It takes good cooperation from the participants to create an atmosphere that is conducive in order to get the best immediate results, namely healing and serenity.
