With the woman's guidance earlier, Mom and I sat on the floor and comfortably without making a loud noise. The woman who guided the of us left without saying a word. I looked at mom, and she gestured me to focus on the lady shaman in front of us.
Silence filled the whole room. I stared at the shamaness, who seemed to be building up the tension by shaking the shaman bell she was holding. After a few seconds, she appeared to have been 'possessed' by gods or spirits through a spiritual experience known as shinbyeong. It literally means divine illness. They said that one could only be healed if you accept the 'God' or 'spirit' within you.
