Conversations that initially seemed difficult could become more relaxed, while requests, negotiations and introductions sometimes progressed more favourably than expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOthers associated the Guman with \u003cstrong\u003esmall but timely strokes of luck\u003c\/strong\u003e — meeting the right person, receiving an unexpected opportunity, having someone offer assistance, or finding that a previously stalled matter suddenly began moving again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sixth-sense aspect was described differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than necessarily seeing or hearing anything supernatural, some keepers spoke of a stronger instinct about people and situations: an unexplained feeling to contact someone, delay a decision, avoid a particular arrangement or pursue an opportunity that later proved useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin Por Sala Tan's tradition, these quieter experiences were often considered more meaningful than dramatic phenomena.

Thailand, Burma and Laos each preserved their own approaches towards sacred herbs, cemetery materials, spirit practice, yantra and consecration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertain teachings concentrated upon attraction and human relationships.
