Answer to Question 1

Material: eggs, lemons, garlic, ribbons, religious symbols, crucifix, water, oils, and incense. These are used to either emit or absorb vibrating energy that repairs the energy field around a person. Ceremonies include prayers, ritual sweepings, or cleansing (Torres & Sawyer, 2005).Spiritual: curandero entering a trance, leaving his or her body, and playing the role of a medium. Mental level: using the power the healer has, such as using herbs as treatments.
