Fabulous June issue
The June 2019 issue of Life Positive was a midsummer treat! What amazing genius produces such a feast for the soul, with such an extensive menu of articles, month after month?
Steeped in gratitude, Manoj Lekhi’s interview with Rishi Rathod, was a legitimate reminder to all of us to pause and remember the Invisible Lover. The articles, The threads of karma and Healing our ancestors threw light on the interwoven play of maya. The Heartspeak and Sharing columns showed us what matters, and The world of crystals and Summer sustenance really added to the cocktail!
Hearty congratulations to you and the fabulous writers for giving us so much! We are truly steeped in gratitude.

An educative experience
In the excellent interview Steeped in gratitude, conducted by Rishi Rathod in the June 2019 issue, Manoj Lekhi has given us two important mantras for living a successful and happy life:
Mantra 1: Do not complain. Come out of the complaining zone. Many times, we complain about the misbehaviour of our family members and relatives or about bad events and misfortunes. Yet, things do not change. People cannot change. We just lose our peace of mind and energy complaining about them. Let us say, someone has encroached upon your land and laid claim on it. You have to lodge a complaint with the right authority and take action. However, do not go on blaming the person. In most cases we become angry, blaming the person or the incident. It only saps our energy and gives us heartburn. In many cases, things happen due to karmic laws, over which we have no control.
Mantra 2: Develop a sense of gratitude. God has given us many things, but we take them for granted. We only see what we do not have (but what others have). We should rather count our blessings and thank God.
These two mantras will give us true peace of mind and take us to a higher energy level. We can then enjoy life and carry out all our activities very efficiently.

An indispensable blessing
The May 2019 issue of Life Positive has been an indispensable blessing with all its enriching write-ups.
Getting off the pendulum swing, by Shivi Verma, provided me with the much-needed insight into purposeful living. It’s true that even while exercising a mature perspective towards life, the human heart and mind crave adulation and admiration. Shivi’s interpretation has helped me clear the cloud and realise that if you want the stars to shine on you, you have also to be ready when the sun goes down on you.
Naini Setalvad’s Ending diet dilemma clarified a lot of confounding beliefs regarding food habits. The lead story, The guide, by Prawesh Singh, was, in fact, a documentation of Self-enlightenment. “There is nothing in the world that is just random, not even in human life. Everything has a purpose.” So inspiring, so motivating. I could relate to the content very well and got answers to many of my haunting queries.
Along with the other articles and regular columns, this issue proved to be a compendium for a seeker. Heartiest gratitude!

Promote emotional health
I wish to congratulate Life Positive magazine for its wonderful articles and columns. It is a great help for all those who are suffering physically, mentally, and emotionally. I read this magazine every month.
I feel a need to read something that promotes emotional health and gets rid of emotional imbalance, which we suffer in one way or the other. Also, helping others to overcome addiction is another topic of interest to me. It is my request to you to include articles related to these subjects.

Corrigendum
In the articles Love heals cancer and Food for thought in the July 2019 issue, the names of the authors have got interchanged due to an oversight. Shveta has written the former, and Nirupama, the latter. The error is regretted.
