🌿 Introduction
Love and gratitude are two of the most powerful forces within us.
They open the heart, heal emotional wounds, and remind us that we are deeply connected — to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.
In this second step of The Journey Within, we shift our focus from the breath to the heart.
Here, we learn to listen, to feel, and to radiate love — not as a fleeting emotion, but as a steady vibration that nourishes peace and compassion.
