Ratu Bagus was an Indonesian guru based in Bali, who developed a technique of Shaking Meditation, which he called "Bio-energy Shaking Meditation." He was said to transmit healing energy through his touch and picture, induce spontaneous shaking and laughing in the recipients, as well as to release them from physical, emotional, mental and spiritual blocks. Ratu Bagus following in the world has grown to include many shaking groups in Europe and Australia as well as one group in the United States of America.
