In our fractured world we face many challenges but in these hard times, we have a rare opportunity to look within, let go of our personal burdens and come together in deep healing. A radically compassionate plan for turning inward and lifting the heaviness that prevents us from healing ourselves and the world, from Yung Pueblo, the New York Times bestselling author of Clarity & Connection. Yung Pueblo''s path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his body and soul. Searching for a way forward, he found that by honestly examining and addressing the anxieties and fears that he had been running away from, he no longer felt like a stranger inside of his heart and mind. And once he dedicated himself to meditation and trusting his intuition, he started to finally feel mentally lighter, with more love emerging from within. This was not an easy journey, and it''s one that he is still on, but it showed him that real healing is possible. In Lighter, Yung Pueblo demonstrates how we can all move forward in our healing, from learning self-compassion to letting go to becoming emotionally mature. As the heaviness falls away, our minds will finally stop feeling overburdened with tension and we''ll be able to reconnect with the present. And the world around us will hopefully become more inviting in crisp and newly vibrant ways. But these are just the first steps. As we grow stronger and take on more knowledge, it''s our responsibility-and also part of the healing journey-to take actions to support the health and harmony of all people. The final section of Lighter shows how we can and must contribute to building a world that is no longer structurally harmful, but instead structurally compassionate. Yung Pueblo''s hope is that as more people heal themselves, our actions will become more intentional, our decisions will become more compassionate, our thinking will become clearer, and the future will become brighter. ...
