"Ask the Spirits" by Po Lai Yau

I’ve heard of countless stories about spirits’ powerful influence on one’s health in many Asian cultures. These stories are absolutely amazing. For instance, a person who gets a fever or whose facial muscles become partially paralyzed would go to a spiritual guide rather than a doctor. These spiritual guides can always come up with some “logical” explanations. For example, you have bumped into some spirit on the street and offended “it”. Or, you have said something the spirit didn’t like, so you’re being punished. These individuals would not consider the possible physiological or neurological origin of their conditions, since it feels better to externalize the cause of a health problem...

Enjoy.

Feel free to comment on whatever you see.
