This chapter addresses the argument that local sensorium affects the experience of health and illness. It tries to approach the Anlo traditional religion as a system of the body and as a set of techniques for sensory manipulation. The chapter also aims to show that definitions of personhood and engagement with other intentional persons are important to health and well-being, and are thus directly tied to or based in a cultural group's sensorium. It then examines how Anlo-speaking individuals place themselves in relation to their family, society, community, the gods, and the cosmos.
