  • makes me think Barman - Shaman ... sort of ... like the English pub in Kathmandu ...

  • @manhammmer Yes, Westerners always think in terms of HollyWood Movies.  A shaman does Everything, but Indulgences in Nothing.

  • For peoples of western culture, (such as myself), who may not understand how this could possibly relieve a toothache, is that the action of the broom may divert one's awareness away from the pain. ....Also, there are no dentists in Nepal. Such concepts were introduced to me through my Uncle's book, "The Joy Of Living" (By Yongey Mingur Rinpoche and Eric Swanson)

  • I wonder what the principle behind the technique was. I always find it ironic to see people smoking Tobacco - a Native American discovery, and wearing American blue jeans all over the world.

  • wrong
