Embracing tradition is a means of disconnecting with negative aspects of life

[Lindberg:]
Of the traditional healing methods, approaches, and ideas, what's it best for? What does it help you most with? What has helped a person most with?
[Antonio:]
I would think it helps—well, for me, being traditional helps me connect. Helps my soul, my spirit get better, because it has scars. It helps me have that disconnection with things that are bad, whether they’re bad witchcraft, whether they’re bad accidents that I don’t want my soul to keep dragging on and carrying throughout the rest of my life. And I guess, it’s what you would call forgiveness, kind of letting things go, letting it not be a part of your future— to leave it behind you.
