I knew I needed to find a clear way to help me feel lighter. yung pueblos path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his mind and body. 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 well 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 expand our self-awareness its our responsibilityand also part of the healing journeyto 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 pueblos hope is that as more of us heal our actions will become more intentional our decisions will become more compassionate our thinking will become clearer and the future will become brighter.
