Right.

I think, as hard

as it is to lose them

in the physical world to know

that they're still there.

A friend of mine offered

to let me bury him at his

ranch and I had a really

beautiful ceremony there

and buried him in

between two trees and...

put him back in the

earth, you know?

- To let him grow.

- - It's funny,

I couldn't

do that, remember Jasmine?

Mm-hmm.

The too? When she died, she

died in my arms here, too.

Uh-huh.

And there's something

about the harshness,

I don't think she

was meant for here.

Right.

I just, I couldn't deal with it.

I couldn't put her

in the ground here,

I didn't want her

here and her mate was

with us when she died

and we're really still

and I wrapped her in

this beautiful scarf.

Mm-hmm.

And I put her in a box

in the freezer actually.

Oh my goodness.

Because I was taking

her back to New York

and I didn't know

how to preserve her.

I just, every core

of my cellular being

would not allow me

to leave her here.

Right.

I didn't think it was

good, I thought the place

had a bad spirit, so I put

her in this box, I froze her.

Which sounds a little harsh,

but one day I had her mate

on my shoulder, Gucci,

and I opened up

the freezer to get

something out and

he saw the box.

He had watched me do everything,

he was very intently

focused on me wrapping

her in this scarf and

placing her in the box

and he flew in the

freezer and he spread

his wings over and

kind of was crying.

And it just killed me.

Oh my gosh.

So, it still does.

Yeah, sure.

But anyway, we got her

to New York and I flew

her there and, you know,

she was almost thawed out

when I got

to the house

and we put her in the ground.

So, and she's there and

I feel good about it.

Yeah, it's beautiful.

Good.

Yeah, wow, they just

have such an impact

on your life.

Well, I have several teachers.

I mean, you come

from a long line of healers.

I mean, my dad's

side, natural healers,

um, come from Mexico, but um...

Hey!

Hey, guys.

How's it goin'?

Good, how are you?

Good, good to see you.

- Hi.

- - Hi, Rodrigo.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Hi, I'm Tina.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

So, what kind of

healer was your father?

Oh, well, my dad's dad was

what they call a huesero.

Hueso in Spanish means bone, so.

Hueso?

Hueso, so people at

the village would come

to him with their ailing

bones and he would, like,

kind of like a chiropractor,

pop them back in place

and do massage and limpias,

which is, you know,

cleansing of the energy field.

And so yeah, people

would do that

and I don't think he

would charge anything.

Mm-hmm.

Often times healers in

villages don't charge,
