Unlocking the Chemistry of Joy: A Spiritual Approach to Inner Harmony

“If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.” ~ Carlos Santana

In the beginning, I struggled to write anything down. Then slowly as I kept sitting with it, I simply tried to write five things each morning for which I was grateful. The practice encouraged me to look back on the past 24 hours and recall all the positive parts of the day.
