N2  - This thesis discusses the practice of suwuk healing with a case study of KH
Abdul Khalim in Gunung Kidul. The practice of suwuk healing is a form of
traditional healing that is still popular and developing in the Javanese Islamic
community. The practice of suwuk healing is not only understood as an
alternative healing method, but also as a process of transcendental
communication involving symbolic relationships between humans, God and
religious values. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse and assess suwuk healing
practices as a form of transcendental communication, focusing on Islamic
symbols, the communication process, and the role of healers in building patients'
beliefs and healing experiences.
The main questions in this study are: what form does transcendental
communication take in KH Abdul Khalim's suwuk healing practice? and how can
the transcendental communication in KH Abdul Khalim's suwuk practice be used
in patient healing practices? To answer these questions, this study conducted field
observations and direct interviews with healers. In addition, this study conducted
additional searches for other data such as books and journals. Then, in analysing
the data, this study used symbolic interactionism theory, Max Weber's social
action theory, and Harold Lasswell's communication model to understand the
communication process, meaning construction, and communication effects in
suwuk practices.
The results of this study indicate that the practice of suwuk healing is a
structured and meaningful form of transcendental communication, manifested
through the use of prayers, verses from the Qur'an, and plain water as religious
symbols. KH Abdul Khalim acts as a spiritual mediator who facilitates the healing
process. Furthermore, the authority and legitimacy of the healer are important in
strengthening the patient's belief, inner peace and hope for healing.
