In Chiapas, the J’iloletik use singing to treat the illnesses that come from various attacks on the human person by the external world: envy, jealousy, hungry spirits, colonial writings. For the Tzotzil, human nature is interwoven with the nature of other non-human species. The shamans do not so much heal individuals as people with multiple and yet unified identities. To do this, they establish ritual dialogues with invisible beings. From their mouths come the words of different enunciators: those of the sacred mountain and of local protective entities, but also those of the suffering people as well as those of the J’iloletik themselves. They thus offer their community a supportive and emancipating language for dealing with the precariousness of human existence, doubts, and psychic conflicts, and transmit a symbolic narrative about illness that accompanies and envelops the people in a collective process of healing.
