Description
He practices vipassana meditation, a meditation style in which ‘the meditator uses his concentration as a tool by which his awareness can chip away at the wall of illusion that cuts him off from the living light of reality,’ explains Tricycle. To be supportive of each other, you need to understand that no one can make you happy. Expecting your partner to be the source of your happiness will doom your relationship to extreme stress and likely failure. Through understanding and accepting the impermanence of life, we relinquish our hold on how we wish things to be, and accept how they really are. It is about training ourselves to set aside the emotional baggage we carry, so that we are 'informed by the past, but no longer weighed down by it'. Lighter comes out 5 October 2022. Until then we recommend following @yung_pueblo to keep abreast of the latest updates.
A rare and insightful journey into the author’s own healing journey will inspire you to let go of the past and find a lighter path forward. As always, yung pueblo speaks truth in such an eloquent way. This book is a true gem.” —Sheleana Aiyana, author of Becoming the One There is no shortage of people who you will find physically beautiful but finding someone who matches the maturity you are looking, for the dedication to grow, the humour that brings you comfort and who feels just right in your arms and life is incredibly unique.”During the years when I had abandoned myself, my mind felt undeniably heavy. I knew I needed to find a clear way to help me feel lighter.”
In Lighter, yung pueblo reveals how we can all move forward in our healing, from learning self-compassion and letting go to becoming emotionally mature. This is a transformative guide to making our actions become more intentional, our decisions more compassionate, our thinking clearer and our future much brighter. Lighter is a book that offers a radical and compassionate plan for turning inward and lifting the heaviness that prevents us from healing ourselves and the world. The author, Diego Perez, also known as yung pueblo, is a popular writer and speaker who shares his insights on self-healing, meditation, and social change. He draws from his own personal experience of overcoming drug addiction, anxiety, and depression, as well as his studies of Buddhism, psychology, and sociology. A radically compassionate plan for turning inward and lifting the heaviness that prevents us from healing ourselves and the world, from the New York Times bestselling author of Clarity & Connection We’ve all been there – admiring someone’s outward appearance, only to realize that beyond the surface there’s not much substance. And while physical attraction can certainly spark the flames of a relationship, it takes much more to keep that fire burning. That said, for those who've been through a few rounds in the personal development arena, this might feel like familiar territory. His advice feels somewhat therapist-like, with a dash of Eastern philosophy. That's not a bad thing – especially if you're just starting your journey of personal growth. But for those well-versed in this area looking for something fresh, you might need to keep searching.
Self-love may at times feel challenging or counterintuitive, but you truly cannot feel love from others if you don’t first know how to love yourself. You also can’t wait until you’ve healed yourself before you give yourself love. On the contrary, healing is an act of self-love. Being honest with yourself isn’t always easy. It means being able to face those moments that you’re embarrassed about or ashamed of and take responsibility for them. It means being able to admit when you’re wrong. yung pueblo teaches how to heal with compassion as the driving force. Lighter is an empathetic and wise book that will guide you on a journey toward a deeper understanding of self and help you make impactful changes within and in the world. yung pueblo created a core curriculum on how to heal despite your experiences with suffering.” —Nedra Glover Tawwab, LCSW, New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace
It also sheds fascinating light on the extent to which our minds are so heavily conditioned based on our past. The brain unconciously bends our perception of reality to meet our expectations or desires, and fills in the gaps based on past experiences: 'Our perception is completely coloured by our past and our reactions seek to repeat themselves endlessly'. We must tap into our inner strength and wisdom to overcome life’s challenges. We are our own greatest healers. Yung Pueblo has written three bestselling books, Clarity & Connection, Inward, and Lighter that offer unique perspectives and practical tools for cultivating healing and growth. yung pueblo offers insight into daily practices and choices that can remove the burdens of habitual reaction to reveal the freedom of wise reflection. In Lighter, we see that knowing the mind can transform a person, and also transform society.” —David Simas, CEO of the Obama FoundationUltimately, to become 'lighter', we need to practice long-term self-awareness and self-reflection by examining our inner narratives and how our own thinking effects our emotions. Three: You don’t feel the need to avoid uncomfortable feelings. Instead of numbing the pain or running from it, you’re able to ride the waves of your emotions while staying the course of your goals. The tension between our reality and what we crave is the root of much of our reactionary tendencies. It’s time to let go. And that’s what we’ll talk about next. You have to let go. The book is written in a simple and poetic style, with short sentences and paragraphs that convey profound messages. Perez uses metaphors, analogies, and stories to illustrate his points and to inspire the reader. He also quotes from various sources, such as spiritual teachers, philosophers, poets, and scientists, to support his arguments and to show the universality of his message. Diego Perez has a pretty good idea. Expanding on the wisdom succinctly presented in his book Clarity & Connection, still writing under his nom de plume, Jung Pueblo, he is doing more than just indicating an approach to personal healing, as vital and necessary as that may be. He is giving a language for a prescription to begin to heal what ails the world.
Are you ready to feel lighter, happier, and more connected? If so, I invite you to read the rest of this article and to get a copy of Lighter by Diego Perez. You will not regret it.
Success!
