SECTIONS

Mindfulness in practice
Provides readers with easily accessible mindfulness practice techniques that can be used in everyday life. We’re particularly interested in short, service-driven pieces that offer “mindfulness practice techniques” (200-400 words) derived from personal experience.

Reviews
Capsule reviews of conscious media (books, cds, films, dvds, websites). The focus is on independent or lesser known mainstream sources (250-350 words).

Wholistic Health
We publish articles about health and fitness modalities that take a wholistic, mind-body-spirit approach to health. This section is service-oriented and should be written from an experiential perspective or take a DIY how-to approach (500-1000 words).

Poetry
Let your imagination run wild! (any length considered).
