Welcome to the Winter 2020 issue of Parvati Magazine. In our busy lives, it is easy to get caught up in surface chatter and inner restlessness, thinking we must buy more, do more, be more, in order to be happy. Too often, we can become like talking heads that bob about like flotsam on the deep oceans of life. With Parvati Magazine as with all aspects of GEM (Global Education for MAPS), my wish is to settle in with you, deeper, into the powerful truths of this moment.  In the pages of this month’s issue, on the theme “Deepening”, you’ll discover people who are finding those deeper truths and are helping others do the same. Neurologist and bestselling author David Perlmutter explains how we can reclaim our power of choice by understanding the decision-making process in our brains. Rulan Tangen, the Artistic Founding Director of Dancing Earth Indigenous Contemporary Dance Creations, offers us a passionate and heartfelt interview about movement and interconnection. Sand Cloud founder Brandon Leibel shares his company’s deepening commitment to sustainability and marine protection. The Grammy Awards lineup this year reveals the changing face of music. I share how to witness and transform core beliefs that drive your life without your knowing it, and how to connect with your innate capacity for inner peace. This, and much more! 
Enjoy!  Parvati 

This is a special issue on the theme of A Voice for Everyone, honoring MAPS. May the articles here inspire you to fearlessly give voice to your soul and light up the world. In addition to the special content you will find some of our regular columns to keep you connected. Bestselling author Matt Emerzian speaks about his new book “You Matter”. We interview Edinburgh Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world, and we offer tips for books, music and film to check out this month. This and much more.


Welcome to the December 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine.The 18th century English poet, painter and visionary William Blake wrote, “To see a world in a grain of sand   And a heaven in a wild flower,   Hold infinity in the palm of your hand  And eternity in an hour.”   Everything we see reflects not only its own light, but the light around it, and even the light shining from within our own selves. Through this mirroring, we can learn to recognize the presence of the infinite and of our true nature. On the theme of “Reflection”, this month’s articles celebrate this wisdom. In our Culture section, South African grande dame of dance Sylvia Glasser, who founded her performance company during the apartheid period, tells us about the power of movement to bring people together. Film director and Faithless founding member Jamie Catto speaks with us about his recent Ram Dass biopic “Becoming Nobody”.

Physician and bestselling author Dr. Dean Ornish reveals how human connection supports health and longevity. Chez Panisse’s Alice Waters highlights the way our food choices connect us to the rest of the world.  In our GEM section, the Ocean Anthem article explores the beauty of immersion into the ocean of life. The science column delves into the albedo effect, how the Arctic Ocean’s ice helps keep our whole planet cool by reflecting sunlight back out into space. We also reveal how easy it is to be part of MAPS: A Voice for Everyone for a healthy world. Our Living section features updates from difference makers Captain Paul Watson and Oxford Saïd Business School, as well as tips from me to help you find greater presence and inner peace.  All this, and much more.  Enjoy!  Parvati

Welcome to the November 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine. We have all heard the saying, “home is where the heart is”. It is both an internal and external place where we feel loved, whole, and a sense of belonging. One of the most powerful symbols of home throughout history is the hearth, the fireplace at the heart of a dwelling where people gather for food, warmth and companionship. 
As a touring musician, I have come to rely on my meditation and yoga practices to provide me with a sense of inner home, no matter where I may be physically. My body is like a temple in harmony with the universe. Its hearth is the light of my soul. My truest home is in the world of sound. I revel in it through the stillness of meditation, when creating music, and when anywhere in Nature, which to me is a symphony of sounds. My daily go-to-happy-place is in songwriting, composing, producing and performing music. It provides a harmonious recharge of life-force energy that nourishes my being. In this month’s issue you’ll find articles celebrating home, whether in the moment, in your body, or in your creative flow. Polar explorer Barney Swan shares the importance of his journey to the North and South Poles with his father. Devotional world musician Donna De Lory shares how she went from being Madonna’s backup singer to finding her own voice. Yogis Unite ally Om Yoga Show reveals how they help people settle into the moment even during a bustling tradeshow. In the wake of Fall Fashion Month, we explore what sustainable fashion is—and is not—achieving for a healthy world. Team Canada’s Tokyo 2020 Olympics Chef de Mission Marnie McBean talks about the commitment it takes to lead a team to success at the Olympics. We review “Downton Abbey”’s family dramas on the big screen, and Neil Pasricha’s latest book on personal resilience, “You Are Awesome”. And I share yoga and meditation practices to help you feel alive and at home wherever you may be.     Enjoy!  Parvati

Welcome to the Fall 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine. 
The American mythologist Joseph Campbell coined the phrase “follow your bliss” based on his study of the ancient Hindu scriptures known as the Upanishads. He said, “If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you.”  In this special double issue on the theme of Focus, you will discover the power of focus in all areas of life. Best-selling author, speaker and entrepreneur Kate Northrup tells us why connecting with Nature has led her to success (an experience I share!). Punk rock trailblazer Bif Naked shares about the gifts of humor, gratitude and mentorship. 5 Gyres founder Marcus Eriksen shares his passion for stopping ocean plastic pollution. Swiss Impact Investment Association co-founder Ben Banerjee focuses on the financial sector’s capacity to effect global change. World music guitarist Jesse Cook explains the powerful alchemy of Toronto’s multicultural music scene. Dr. Izabella Wentz tells us how she took her Hashimoto’s thyroiditis diagnosis, recovered from the disease and became a bestselling advocate for others to do the same. We speak with YogaFest and Fields of Yogis, two of the latest yoga festivals to join Yogis Unite for MAPS. I share potent YEM: Yoga as Energy Medicine practices to increase your focus and follow-through. Plus, much more.
And of course, all of this is dedicated to the singular focus in my life, all of us at Parvati.org and the extraordinary group of volunteers from around the world: we need MAPS, the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary now for the good for all. We are in this together.
Enjoy!  Parvati

Welcome to the August 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine.     We are a part of Nature. Living in alignment with this reality lets us tap into an infinite well of power, vitality and creativity, the very life force that continually creates the universe in which we live.     In this month’s issue, you’ll meet people who are saying yes to life and Nature, each in their own way. Musician Serena Ryder’s raw earnestness has won fans the world over. Denver’s Kindness Yoga rallied to carry on the cause of MAPS after the death of their community member Darcy Belanger, Parvati.org’s Director of Strategic Initiatives. Robert Rubinstein’s “triple bottom line investing”, that accounts for people, planet and profit, is changing the game for everyone. Laurel Shaffer’s organic skin care line sets a high standard for freshness, purity and sustainability. And my guided meditation, YEM: Yoga as Energy Medicine and Positive Possibilities articles will help you feel refreshed and alive.  Enjoy! Parvati 

Welcome to the July 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine, dedicated to MAPS: the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary. Breathe in. Feel the aliveness in that breath. Exhale and feel how, through your breath, you are vastly interconnected to all of life. Your breath is your best friend. It puts space between you and your busy mind, and reconnects you with a bigger picture. This month’s articles celebrate that connection: from Dee Kyne’s walking for a healthy world, to Jayson Greene’s heartbreaking yet luminous memoir about being present through the loss of a child; from Yogis Unite MAPS ambassador Claudine Lafond’s commitment to awareness, to the story of a neurologist becoming a MAPS advocate at the UN. Beginner-friendly guided meditation and YEM: Yoga as Energy Medicine practices put you in tangible touch with the power of the breath to refresh your body and inspire your life.  Enjoy! Parvati



Welcome to the June 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine, dedicated to MAPS, the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary. All of us at Parvati Magazine are still catching our breath after the devastating loss of one of Parvati.org’s initial members, Darcy Belanger. But MAPS lives on and will be realized. Darcy demonstrated faith and courage, and that is how we move forward. As it was for Darcy, all my work on MAPS has been a repeated call to faith, to take bold leaps into the unknown, trust and expand to meet unforeseen possibilities. I recall a moment I had when I was on the road, making connections for MAPS. During a meditation, I saw beneath me a bridge of light. I could not see it with plain sight, but in surrender, in openness, in trust, I saw it there, carrying my every step. It calls me to live right here, right now and give this moment all I have. Many Parvati.org volunteers have had similar experiences, whether travelling halfway across the world or finding their phone ring with a key official on the other line ready to talk about MAPS. This month’s issue is on the theme of faith, that is, the energy of love and compassion that moves us forward in trust in the greater good. You will discover Dr. Lisa Damour’s advice to help girls find self-confidence, the inspiring legacy of conservation from Sharkwater’s Rob Stewart, beauty without plastic from Ethique, our new Yogis Unite for MAPS ally, and much more. Enjoy! Parvati



Welcome to the April/May 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine. This is a special commemorative edition dedicated to Darcy Belanger, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Parvati.org, Director of Professional Development at PCL, husband, son, and friend to many. Darcy died aboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10, 2019 on his way to champion the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary (MAPS) at the United Nations Environment Assembly. The day Darcy passed, the world felt smaller and darker. We were in mid-production on this month’s Parvati Magazine, but I knew immediately that we needed to pivot and dedicate this issue to Darcy and everything he gave to MAPS. There is no way to measure the value of a life. The thought feels like trying to fit the infinite into a teaspoon. As both founder and CEO of Parvati.org and Editor-in-Chief of Parvati Magazine, I offer Darcy’s story through the eyes and hearts of all of us who worked alongside him over the years, to illustrate the courage with which he lived and his lasting effect on us and the world.

Welcome to the March 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine. In today’s fast-paced world, serenity may seem hard to find. Yet, it is available to us in every moment. It is even as close to us as our breath. By choosing to breathe mindfully in the moment, we can find not only deep relaxation, but tremendous energy and a sense of interconnection with all that is. As we at Parvati Magazine and Parvati.org work to realize MAPS (the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary), we commit to our own inner peace sanctuary: a choice to express peace in all we do. This keeps us centred as we prepare for the United Nations Environmental Assembly meeting March 11-15 in Nairobi, Kenya. It is so inspiring to see MAPS grassroots initiatives grow worldwide, in particular in Africa now, in support of UNEA.
In this month’s issue, on the theme of Serenity, you will hear from people who have found courage and grace in doing what is meaningful—from Juno nominees Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine and Johnny Orlando to the latest Yogis Unite ambassador, the ocean activist and Blissology yogi Eoin Finn; from Solvatten’s clean hot water initiative to Faithless founder and creative powerhouse Jamie Catto’s transformational workshops; with a meditation from yours truly to help you reconnect with serenity; and much, much more.

Despite what our five senses may indicate, we are never alone. Though we may think of ourselves as separate, we are continuously held within the whole. Even when we have a sense of “me” or “mine”, we exist within something much greater. No matter how deep our habit of feeling disconnected may be, we can never be outside the fabric of life. This month’s issue of Parvati Magazine celebrates this inherent interconnection. Be inspired by the work of Amnesty International, and Marten Thorslund of We Don’t Have Time, to awaken the world to our need to care for each other and Nature. Discover the integrity and compassion of prAna clothing. Learn from MAPS supporter Wallace Nichols about why time in Nature benefits our minds. The newest Yogis Unite member, Koya Webb, underscores the connection between self-love and love for our planet. My guided meditation for self-love helps you deepen your awareness of this connection. And in a special double feature, hear from two of this year’s GRAMMY nominees for Best Children’s Album, Falu Shah and Tim Kubart, about how they connect with audiences. Plus, to welcome you into how much MAPS, the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary, means to me and to all of us at Parvati Magazine, we debut a new column this month for MAPS Ambassadors to share their joy in this work. This month, you will hear from Vandana Erin Ryder, author of the MAPS Treaty, about how she got connected with MAPS. Enjoy!  Parvati

Happy 2019! Welcome to the January 2019 issue of Parvati Magazine. Meeting this moment, as it is, is something many of us don’t do that often. Our minds tend to be busy interpreting information and categorizing it to suit our version of reality. We then believe that what we perceive as the truth. This, in turn, motivates our behaviour, which determines our experiences. But the more we meet the moment with presence—free from the grip of past attachments and future expectations—the richer our lives become. This month, on the theme of “Now”, we hear from bestselling author Byron Katie, renowned yogi Seane Corn, natural beauty trailblazer May Lindstrom, advertiser and humanitarian Natalie Lyall of Ogilvy, entertainment business dynamo Jasper Donat, and many more. Plus, discover my guided meditation to help you make this year your best yet! From my heart to yours, enjoy!  Parvati

Welcome to the December 2018 edition of Parvati Magazine.
As the sun moves further away from the Earth and the days grow shorter, we are living in a dark time in more ways than one. There is an undoubtable prevalence of global suffering, as in the increase in radical groups that seek to kill and destroy—but also in the polarized and reactive nature of our society in general.
Yet amidst the storm, there is a growing effulgence of luminosity. I can feel it so palpably when I turn my focus to that which is eternal. There is so much pain and so much grace available to us in this unprecedented time. What we choose now affects how we experience this moment, and determines what our future brings.
For this world to be a sanctuary, we each must cultivate our own inner sanctuary of presence and peace. In this month’s issue, find out how to do just that as we speak with Marcus Nobel of United Earth, award-winning singer Deva Premal, the “Last Strongman in Africa” John McGrath and the candid and internationally acclaimed yogi Kino MacGregor. Hear from Yogis Unite ambassador Tias Little about yoga’s profound connection with the environment. All this and much more!

Welcome to the November 2018 issue of Parvati Magazine. The force of Nature is vast, powerful and wise beyond our human comprehension. When we forget the immensity of this force and try to contain it within our limits, both we and Nature suffer. When you are naturally who you are, you align your energy with that most potent force. It does not apologize for who it is. It does not sheepishly try to be something else. It does not look for approval. It simply is. To be yourself requires a fierce courage because there is social momentum to “normalcy”, staying asleep and not awakening your true nature. In effect, there is no “normal”. There is either asleep or awake, to varying degrees.
I love the phrase “have the courage of your convictions”. I feel it perfectly sums up how to find confidence when doing something challenging. When you stay awake and engaged, in touch with why you are doing what you do, with that fierce knowing in your heart, you nourish your soul, live your life purpose and serve the highest good of all. In this month’s issue on the theme of “Knowing”, we feature trailblazers and organizations who embody that powerful, heart-centered capacity. Discover Barbra Streisand’s bold new album, a doctor called the Sherlock Holmes for chronic disease, the business school that’s empowering MBAs for social impact, the story of a white supremacist who changed his ways and became an inspired anti-racism activist, a guided YEM: Yoga as Energy Medicine and meditation practices to help you feel connected with that inner force and much more. Enjoy! Parvati


Welcome to the October 2018 issue of Parvati Magazine.  We tend to be an externally driven society. Our senses move our awareness outward toward what we see, feel, touch, smell and taste. The information that comes through our senses becomes the foundation for our thoughts. Our thoughts fuel our actions. Our actions form our lives. As the weather turns colder, the days shorten. Nature turns inward and so must we. Potentially attached to our external tendency, we can get hung up on life being a certain way. We can become habituated to fast paced living and getting things done when we want them to be. As the fall wraps its cool breeze around our lives, as the leaves turn brilliant colours and float to the ground, we are reminded of the power of letting go. In this month’s issue, on the theme of Introspection, you will find inspiration from Ana Forrest’s unique blend of yoga and Native American spirituality, Jessica Sepel’s refreshing take on nutrition, Ief Winckelmans’s revolutionary idea to support the blue economy, Roots of Peace’s transformative work in war-torn areas, and much more. We also unveil Yogis Unite’s first key supporter, the American yoga teacher and conservationist Amy Ippoliti. Enjoy! Parvati

One of the most important mentors I had in my early years was my maternal grandmother. She taught me about life, spirituality and being naturally myself.

A significant teaching of hers was that each of us has two inner channels we can tune into: one that leads to suffering for all, and the other to greater love and service. Which channel we listen to and amplify is entirely up to us. This month, we unveil a new regular column called Yogis Unite. It is about the power of yogis coming together for MAPS: the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary. Each month we will feature updates from the inspiring new global campaign for a healthy world. This is just one of the many stellar articles that explore this month’s theme: Amplification. What signal you boost is all about the power of choice. You will enjoy interviews with YouTube musical sensation DJ Alan Walker, the inspiring movement called Nature Needs Half and “Yoga Girl” Rachel Brathen. As well, you will discover a YEM: Yoga as Energy Medicine pose to help you feel beautifully connected, and treasures from The Trust Frequency. May all these and more amplify healing, joy and peace in you and in all beings.

“The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy. We can all sense a mysterious connection to each other.” - Meryl Streep
Welcome to the August 2018 issue of Parvati Magazine.
Everywhere around the world, there is fear, anger, even hatred, as well as kindness and compassion. In the face of the intensity of current events, how do we keep our inner light shining and be of service to others, without becoming exhausted or overwhelmed? How can we take action, while remaining centred in compassion and remembering our connection? We will explore this question in this month’s articles on the theme of Empathy, including an interview with 99-year-old yogi Tao Porchon-Lynch and our reviews of the eye-opening and timely “Formerly Known as Food” and “Incredibles 2”.
Enjoy!

Welcome to the June 2018 issue of Parvati Magazine.  We are all interconnected, far beyond what our limited senses can perceive. As we each open to this moment in loving wonderment, everyone wins. Because of this interconnection, and because of the power of our media to affect our lives, I feel that the role and corresponding responsibility of artists - and anyone doing creative work in the public eye - has never been more potent. 

In this issue, on the theme of “Creativity”, we explore Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts’s yoga activism, Hey Ocean!’s catchy new album, Ellie Krieger’s joy in “real, good food”, VEJA’s delightful and eco-friendly footwear, Dell’s work to leave a legacy of good, the inspiring true story The Miracle Season, and guidance from me on nourishing your creativity and making works that last. Enjoy! Parvati

Welcome to the May 2018 issue of Parvati Magazine. When I am in flow, my life unfolds with ease, no matter the challenges that may lie before me. In a state of deep receptivity to this moment as it is, I feel as though my cells and my entire being are open like a flower to a field of possibility. Light fills me with clarity and a sparkling  effervescence. I feel inspired to inspire, as my heart bursts with a sense of interconnection with all. This month we explore the theme of “Effervescence”, the bubbling vivacity and enthusiasm for life. You will read about people who spark in their unique ways, from bestselling author Jackie Kai Ellis to UN Young Champion of the Earth Kaya Dorey, to the beloved adventure of “A Wrinkle in Time”, to the ebullient stylings of teenage reggae sensation Wayne J. From my heart to yours, enjoy!  Parvati

“The only thing that ultimately matters is this: Can I sense my essential Beingness, the I Am, in the background of my life at all times?”
- Eckhart Tolle

The subject this month, “Being”, is so close to my heart that for a while, I called my blog posts “Being Love Letters”. If you meditate, you may know of the space between breaths, the momentary pause that exists between the inhale and exhale. It is the space between thoughts that opens the gateway to the underlying reality of pure consciousness beyond the grip of the thinking mind.

Athletes and artists touch this place when they are surrendered to their task and time dissolves, the sense of separate self is gone and all that exists is the perfection of what is. Lovers touch this place when life feels perfect, whole, as though million-watt bulbs were just turned on and everything bloomed into technicolour. Heroes touch this place when they throw all caution to the wind and dive into a seemingly impossible situation, experiencing the momentary death of their ego, expanding into the realm of eternal possibility. This is the space of beingness. 

This month, discover the perspectives of psychologist and Buddhist practitioner Dr. Rick Hanson, Ashtanga and Kundalini yogini Kia Miller, the lyrical Zimbabwe-born musician Thabo, nutritionist Gena Hamshaw, RMS Beauty founder Rose-Marie Swift, our review of the heart-opening “Greatest Showman”, my guidance on connecting with beingness, and more.

Enjoy!

“To the eyes of the man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.”
William Blake

As I said in a recent interview with Cashbox which I share in part in this issue, “My biggest source of creative inspiration is Nature: its sounds, its rhythms, its voice. It is symphonic and multidimensionally so rich, open and whole. I strive to express that beauty, power and wisdom in my songs and productions.”

The immense creative force and wisdom that arise into form all around us exist within us too. We touch it each moment in imagination, creativity, surrendered service. I find this both deeply humbling and vastly inspiring. It reminds us that we have a choice about what we create in our lives, whether on a painter’s canvas, an audio track, a written page, or simply in each moment that unfolds.

MAPS, the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary, began with an imaginative vision for a healthy and safe world, where Nature’s voice could be heard again. Today, that vision is becoming a reality in international law. 

In this month’s issue, find out more about our big news with MAPS, and be inspired by our exclusive interviews with Dr. Neal Barnard, Chelsey Korus, Plantbased Pixie, Tiziano Guardini and more.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the February 2018 issue of Parvati Magazine.

I love this inspiring quote from the great modern dancer Martha Graham, said to be like the Picasso of dance:

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. Because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions… You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.”

As you choose the light of your own true nature, you light the light of hope, interconnection and grace. You ignite your passionate fire that fuels the joy of your being. You open yourself to a field of possibility far beyond what you could know staying small, feeling disconnected and alone. As you choose the light of your true nature, you light the way for others to do the same. In this way, the courage to make a healthy choice benefits not only your own life, but all of life. You become the light of love for all beings, everywhere.

We invite you to this month’s theme, The Light Within, to explore Dr. Daniel Siegel’s book, “The Yes Brain”, that teaches parents how their children can become more receptive and curious; Nike global master trainer Marie Purvis’s advice on how being part of a community can help you with your fitness goals; how the World Ocean Observatory is engaging citizens around the world for healthier oceans; how you can see the light wherever you go, and much more.

Enjoy!
Parvati

A new year is beginning, full of promise. How you embrace its potential for the highest good in your own life and in the world depends on the choices you make in each moment. You always have the choice to either assert your ego, or to rest in the knowing of your inherent interconnection with all that is. As such, everything you do, think and feel literally affects everyone and everything. When you meet what is with an open heart and mind, the riches of each moment unlock for you. There is no need to push your will upon the here and now, for that will only bring suffering to you and others. Instead, the assertion of your deepest soul knowing and luminous heart will always guide you to that which is best for all. One could say that the right use of will is a yogic practice: balanced, present, surrendered, and in flow. It is a complete and absolute “YES!” in your every cell to your soul’s joy, a total release of all thoughts of anything else being your purpose. Joy is your purpose. So by focusing unequivocally on your joy, you align yourself with universal, divine will. In this month’s inspiring issue, on the theme of Assertion, you will discover how Oprah Winfrey brings together leaders to support millions in finding meaning in their life; how Dr. Norman Rosenthal explores the riches of the moment in his book Super Mind; how to stand your ground in a rooted, vital and expansive way - and much more. Also this month, we premiere a new feature for music lovers: a special curated list of current music recommendations. They could be pop, EDM, country, hip hop, jazz, or other genres. The common thread is that they feel alive with positive possibilities! Find out all the details in the Music column on page 30. Enjoy! Parvati

Welcome to the December 2017 edition of Parvati Magazine. This moment right now, as you read these words, is part of a vast, intelligent unfolding of which you are an integral part. You are within an ever-changing and evolving universe. Being present for this magnificent growth means focusing your attention on the here and now, even as you maintain your awareness of the greater whole. This presence is what gives rise to brilliant creativity, profound insight and inspired action. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor learned this presence through a stroke. Ai WeiWei explores it in his art. Maty Ezraty cultivates it on her yoga mat and with her students. Beck paints it through his rich sonic palette. In this month’s issue, please be inspired by the presence of luminous beings like these and many more. Enjoy! Parvati

Welcome to the November 2017 edition of Parvati Magazine.I am continually inspired by the vision of a healthy, interconnected world in which all realize their magnificence and serve the whole. Everything I do, from writing, producing and performing top 40 radio pop songs to ambient Electronica soundscapes to YEM: Yoga as Energy Medicine products to self-help books to the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary and, yes, to this magazine itself, is in service of that vision. People often say “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Yet, the late bestselling author Wayne Dyer memorably said, “You’ll see it when you believe it.” I deeply believe that when we envision greater possibility, we are taking the first step towards realizing it. Is this not why some of the greatest leaders in our time are referred to as visionaries? In this month’s issue on the theme of Vision, be inspired to live your greatest joy by the creative and spiritual vision of leaders like Byron Katie, Rodney Yee, Angelina Jolie, Brené Brown, Thread, Tentree and many more. Enjoy! Parvati

Welcome to the October 2017 issue of Parvati Magazine.

Change is happening all around us. As this month’s issue goes to print and the leaves turn gold on the trees, millions of people in South Asia have been displaced by floods, and America is battered by hurricanes. Forest fires rage across northwestern USA. Political unrest continues to simmer all over the globe. We do not live in the same world we used to live in. At the same time, we have the choice to stay stuck and contribute to our collective suffering, or choose the light of our true nature.

If you are ready to make changes in your life, this month’s issue is for you. You will find exclusive interviews with Byron Katie about her latest book A Mind at Home with Itself, Olympian Brianne Theisen-Eaton about life after competitive sport, yogini and dancer Tamara Levinson about the joy of movement, play and self-love, and The Happiness Project’s Gretchen Rubin about her new book The Four Tendencies; as well as many more articles to support your personal transformation.


Welcome to the September 2017 issue of Parvati Magazine. My life as a musician, yogini, author and activist has asked fierce commitment of me, so that I stay focused on what is most important to my soul purpose. We can get caught up in things that seem easier than committing to live our dreams, but in fact they end up being harder, because they squelch the voice of our soul.  Experience tells me that when you align with your soul, life starts to flow with lightness and possibility. May this month’s articles on the theme of Commitment inspire you to live your life to the very fullest. ~ Parvati

I hope you feel inspired by what you have read, and live in joy, abundance and vitality.

Love yourself.
Love others.
Love our world.
We are one Earth family.

Namaste,
Parvati



Welcome to the July 2017 issue of Parvati Magazine. As we evolve on the spiritual path, we come to understand that our personal journey is in no way separate from the greater good of the whole. Our human bodies are of the earth, the matter of our mother, arising into magnificently interconnected form. As such, they have the inherent capacity for a life of abundance that nurtures ourselves, while being of benefit to all. In this month’s issue we explore what it means to serve. May the array of articles you find here spark your joy of service.

We live in a beautiful, yet agitated world. Every day, as we move through our lives, we are flooded with images that potentially stir our minds and affect how we think and feel. When in human history has there been such demand to ingest and process a breadth and depth of information so quickly? Whether we are aware of it or not, in every moment around the globe, people are violently attacked, raped and brutally murdered in wars between nations and disputes between people. Millions are in pain right now from profound lack – not just lack of the basics such as food, water and shelter, but lack of fundamental goodness, such as kindness, respect and love.In these intense times, it is more important than ever to feed your mind, heart and soul with that which makes you the most patient, kind, wise and loving person possible, to help ease the suffering in the world.
May this month’s articles on the theme “stepping up” nourish your being so you may serve a world in need.
