Book #3
Yung Pueblo began his healing journey after years of drug abuse harmed his mind and body. By confronting his fears and anxieties, he no longer felt disconnected from himself. Through meditation and trusting his intuition, he started to feel lighter and more loving. Though the journey is ongoing, he discovered that true healing is possible.
In Lighter, Yung Pueblo teaches how we can all heal by practicing self-compassion, letting go, and growing emotionally. As we release our mental burdens, we reconnect with the present and see the world more clearly. He emphasizes that healing isn't just personal—it’s our responsibility to help create a more compassionate, less harmful world. His hope is that as we heal, our actions will be more thoughtful, our choices more kind, and the future brighter.
