FEAR – THE KRYPTONITE OF LOVE

Love is a topic of many hit songs, books, movies and art pieces. So what is love? Why is it such a popular subject? Is love when you get a shiny new present or when you get kissed in a special place?

Learning about the Chakra system was incredibly transforming for me. Learning about the Chakras allowed me to rediscover my emotional, mental and physical self.
