This work aims to analyze the subjective experiences of umbandistas mediums, religious considered owners of the gift of communication with orixás and entidades, the spiritual powers worshiped at umbanda centers. As an ethnography, this research is affiliated to the intersubjective dimension of anthropological work and developed from two basic methodological procedures: participatory observation of the routine of two umbanda centers in the West of Rio de Janeiro and partly structured interviews with mediums. From the exam of the interlocutors trajectories, the focus of this approach is on their sensible experiences around three aspects: initiation, healing practices and daily life. It is relevant to mention the possession trance as the fundamental language to the building of the sacred of the umbandistas religious practices, since the materialization of the spiritual entities happens, primarily, from a phenomenon known as incorporation, when the spiritual guides go down initiated bodies. It turns the mediums specialized in assuming numerous selves. Likewise, some others sensory experiences are present in this encounter, not without tension between men and sacred beings, as the clairvoyant visions and forebodings. Therefore, the thesis considers the experiential dimension of the religiosity, emphasizing the statute given to body and emotions in the building of the phenomenological universe of the umbandistas. It is, ultimately, a reflexive effort about a way to be in the world laid over, markedly, in sensory and bodily interpretations of the lived.
