Tiffany Yang - Week 3
Tiffany Yang
Week 3
Spirit Healers
Upon reading the article The Pa Lor Story - The Journey between Two Worlds I found it fascinating how Pa Lor had discovered her gift to become a shaman. She struggled with a near death experience when she was a young girl and through healing by shaman at the time, she discovered that it was her calling to become a shaman as well. She had to go through certain steps and a lot of hard work to become a shaman and ultimately will bring this to the western culture and work alongside doctors. I find it interesting how she had both Christian and had a Hmong background as well, and by becoming a shaman she ultimately realized the truth and her calling. I also find it intriguing how she along with other shamans had different experiences with spirits and that each journey is different and unique to each shaman. I'm still a bit confused on how people get to communicate with the spirits of another world and dimension and how that can help other people on Earth. But, like Pa Lor said, it doesn't matter as long as she is helping people in the end. My question is - Why isn't everyone able to be a shaman?
