We can feel heavy and depressed, disconnecting the heart from the spirit and feeling that our lives lack passion and meaning. Joy is an energetic state of being, the alchemical reaction of gratitude and authenticity that we experience when we are in alignment with ourselves. Watermelon tourmaline acts as a catalyst for rediscovering joy
