Teeth Scraping in Bali!
For my first blog post I will be speaking about my trip to Bali Indonesia! I went to Bali without know any history about the Island and its culture; Which is why I want to get to know Bali! One thing I learned about Bali in this research is that many people practice the teeth-cutting ceremony. This ceremony is for kids who hit puberty and are becoming adults. It is said that if you allow an elderly person to scrape your teeth down that is a sign of you letting go of all the negativity you've had in the past. For instance, greed, Jealousy, and lust are some reason's why teens get their teeth scraped. This is very interesting to me because I do not understand how scraping your teeth can cleanse you. People in Indonesia see teeth-scraping as a type of detox that will clean your spirit while you are transitioning on to adulthood. https://theculturetrip.com/asia/indonesia/articles/traditional-rituals-in-bali-you-should-know-about/ . https://youtu.be/JCAmzQelO9E
