When Healers talk about healing, they say that the Creator and the spirit's work through them to help the people. If they are asked in what way they are different, they say that the gifts they have and that they are allowed to use are what makes them different. They always express their sincere gratitude for the healing powers of everything that the Creator has put here and for the spirits that do the healing.
Each Healer has a purpose, and that purpose is to help the people. They tend not to call themselves Healers but might refer to themselves as helpers in Traditional Healing or helpers to the spirits.
The help that they give is credited to the spirit that they have, the Creator, and the spirit helpers who come in many forms to assist them. Helpers can manifest in any form. They can be animals, trees, sticks, rocks, fire, water, plants and earth. "
