Balinese Mask - Spiritual Force Behind
by
Alexander Halim
When someone from the West puts on a mask, he's usually pretending to be someone else. But in Bali when someone puts on mask, especially a sacred mask, he becomes someone else. The mask has a life force - a spiritual magic. A sacred mask is considered to be literally alive, and when the performer puts it on, the mask's power also enters his body. The Balinese world is filled with magical power. Balinese masks that are used in religious ceremonies have great concentrations of supernatural power.

John Cera
There are actually four kinds of eye masks available: the gel mask for pain and to reduce stress, the aromatherapy mask for herbal healing, the sleep mask and the facial eye mask for lines, removal of dark circles around the eyes, and eye puffiness. In addition to deciding on a certain type, people who need an eye mask for the relief of pain and tension have other factors to consider. These characteristics are scent, appearance, material, proper fit, and weight. Everyone's tastes vary for each individual; while some may prefer the feel of heavier material on their face, for example, others do better with something so lightweight they ultimately forget it is on their face. Ultimately, those wanting to buy an eye mask for therapeutic purposes may have to try several before they find the perfect one.
