Religion Shamanism “ Traditionally a form of Animism or the belief in the spirit world and the interconnectedness of all living things. The shaman or txiv neeb (father of spirits) take on the role of connecting and communicating to spirits in the spirit realm when a person is sick, depressed or lost due to the imbalance of one or more souls. The human body is a host for many souls, an isolated or separated soul may even lead to death and therefore soul calling rituals and healing practices are a must in order to keep the integrity of life in balance.”

Practice Shaman is a person chosen by the spirits as a medium to communicate with spirits, travel to the spirit realm, heal souls and give blessings. spirit/ soul calling (Hu plig) Ua Neeb (Shamans are called upon to see how a spirit is doing, travels to the spirit realm and get answers, this is usually done when someone is sick, newborn, encountered something to have shaken up their spirit)

Ua Neeb

Hu Plig Khi tes, a healing ritual in which white yarn are tied to the hand of the person whose spirit is being called. This will help ensure their souls are bounded as one and the person is not sick.
