lol. I was merely making a sarcastic expression. I wasn't even trying to pin anything onto you, just that I agreed with you on that last comment I quoted you on.

I don't think there is such a thing as a shawoman. It's like saying you're a huwoman.

In Hmoob we call all shamans "txiv neeb" even if they're females.

  I kinda knew that. How about a "Niam Neeb" instead? I could never be able to take on such a role so that is why I fought against it so much. But yes sir, something happened to me a long long time ago and those that do know me and have witnessed it may have their own narrate of it. Those that do not know me at all can mock and critisize. It doesn't hurt me. Closed-minded, mean-spirited people will just say spiritually ill folks have self-deluded themselves into believing they are "a chosen one" but really they should be called schizophrenics . There is a paranormal realm out there. As I'm sure you know of that being how spiritually and culturally knowledgeable you are. I am still as normal as can be and can function like most sane people, and feel the everyday emotions just like everybody. It's too bad that I went away for awhile a long, long time ago and family said that I was not myself. I honestly gained an unseen gift from it when I came back so it's not so bad afterall. It was very sad they said, but I kept my mouth shut through out my young adult life, yet still kept telling myself that it will only make me stronger despite unfortunate incidents and crises that may come my way in the future. I do have a sad life but I do not want anybody to feel sorry for me either. I've come a long way and I'm honestly happy where I'm at. My life, some people's entertainment.  

majic.. please share your experiences! 

Sounds like your brother found a girlfriend and decided to get in shape (hence no more gout). 

It's in here. Some posts has been deleted and edited out though.

i am 24 year old and i can tell u, ur know if ur pick u as one or not... it come to u... it is very scary ur see them in life when ur sleeping... i know cause i am one and i have to make my choice to be one and i havent started but they teach me.. there many ghost or power u can say come at all the same time and they test ur blood to make sure u r one. there many differnt shaman new one and old one and good and evil one too. i cant tell u much about it but it very hard living this life, and i am a woman too so i dont like it at 1st but i am glad to be one.

There are a lot of phoney mediums/psychics and Shamens out there so it is wise to be able to keep a skeptical but open mind. When that happened to me, I never accepted it so my "qhuas neeb" left me alone, yet I still felt a stronger force and pull still wanting to reach out to me from time to time. I keep switching it off and blocking it out. I don't want to become a Shawoman/psychic so I tell myself that it could just be my mind and conscious going out of sync and making me lose grasp of reality only. I was told from a Cambodian psychic woman that I have an ancient soul. I believe it could be true too, yet I call myself a psycho all the time because I don't want to get "sick" like that again and what I experienced was not pleasant and nice, yet it renewed my faith and made my spirit only the more stronger. But I think I am just a demonic child that needs to get her head examined because I'm too stubborn and careless. 

So I live and go on with my life to the best I can only. People have judged and wrongly hate but I still don't care. But good for you that you accepted it. There are great and powerful Shawomen/Niam Neebs out there.

my cousin is a shaman at 15. shes really good.

no matter if koj convert to christian, if dab neeb thawj koj lawm..you can't get away...unless you do something about it and send them back...tsis tseeg sim tau..can cause death to you though if you don't deal with it.

I know plenty of shamans.  I know ya deal with a lot of troubles and thats why your family is always there for you!
Anyways, keep up the good work and keep driving them spirits away please! I dont wanna get a dream catcher lol

lol. i don't think so.

I wish they would pick me.  Seriously.

I want to hear about those that went to TUB TUAG TEB or NQIS HIAV from the choosing one.
