Ulzusuren lives with her seventy year old grandmother, Namid, who
is a well known shaman in northern Mongolia. Ulzusuren helps while
her grandmother sees the four to six people that come for shamanic
healing each day. One night I watched as Namid chanted and drummed
herself into a trance-like-state for the benefit of a patient. At
one point Ulzusuren had to jump up and grab her grandmother to keep
her from falling into the fire. (Darkhad)
