A comforting friend
I see Life Positive as an evolved magazine, and sometimes like a person who is wise and compassionate towards me. It gently opens my heart and soothes my troubled feelings, while also delving deeper into the dimension of spirit. I relate to it and am comforted by it all the more now, considering our present scenario. A lot of my questions are addressed and most of them are resolved through some very insightful stories, articles and interview pieces.
One such close-encounter from May 2021’s issue As within, so without by Pradeep Krishnan in conversation with Roy Posner was quite enlightening. The ideas shared by Mr. Roy such as having an expanded consciousness, a spiritualised mind, and intuition were so illuminating. My biggest takeaway from this piece was that life on the outside will only respond to the shift in inner consciousness. And so, re-arranging and organising my inner world, as well as opening myself to the spiritual force will benefit me the most.

Ahead of time
Life Positive is way ahead of times in living up to its title, especially in current times of this pandemic.
The article The power of Blessings by Suma Varughese in the May 2021 issue was in itself a blessing. The story about the man and his possession (the idols of deities) as blessings passed down by generations was a revelation. We are mostly oblivious of the blessings our forefathers have passed us down through generations. The blessings which come through good deeds have been emphasised since ages and blessed are those who ‘cultivate the habit of issuing a cry to those going to bed hungry, before closing their doors for the night.’
Naini Setalvad’s digestive concoctions are a must to try out this summer.
The lead story Freedom from pain by Jamuna Rangachari was very relatable.
Thank you Shivi Verma for once again instilling hope through the editspeak The wheels are turning.
May happiness be unto you and your wonderful Team.

Gems of insights
Thanks for your recent inspirational article on The Power of awareness in the March 2021 issue of Life Positive. In few words, you have explained about true spiritual growth, provident care, taking responsibility for one’s life, being truthful, fidelity to the inner voice and how you woke up in an integral way.
I have been reading Life Positive for the past many years and have drawn many inspirations from it for my personal growth and shared its rich insights with many of my friends and my students. Presently I live in Rome but have come to India for holidays. And I was glad to get both, February and March issues, from one of my friends. They contain gem of insights and I wish to congratulate to you for this noble work.

Essence of Life
“Prioritizing the spiritual well-being of the individual and society over material pursuits” is what has truly been the gift of Life Positive to the discerning reader like me as Shivi Verma writes in the article, Flying on Silver Wings in the April anniversary issue of Life Positive. Due to retire in 2022, I have to prepare for the new beginning and the renewed subscription of LP will take care of my thirst for spiritual insights which play an important role in settling the mind.
I would like to congratulate Shivi Verma for the wonderful thoughts expressed in her Editspeak column. I often use some of her lines as quotes to make my talks with teachers and students interesting. I had her asked if the hard copy was available against subscription. To my surprise the copy was in my hands on April 8 itself which was nothing was short of a miracle. Parveen Chopra, Suma Varughese and Shivi Verma are positivity personified and their energy percolates through the well-researched and collated articles.
Spiritual transformation is our only saviour from debilitating fears in the prevalent unpredictable scenario.
