Being Magazine - Being 10

In this issue

Contentment often arises when you are at peace with who you are and where you are, right now. Similar to mindfulness, it is a way of being that helps you appreciate the fleeting nature of the present moment, which is also a lesson in impermanence. And when we can accept the nature of impermanence by embracing all moments in life — the light, the dark and everything between — contentment arises with much more ease. This issue of Being is a celebration of contentment. Connect with kindness, joy and flexibility. Embrace cosiness, change and a “good enough” life. Cultivate mindful rituals with your wardrobe, technology, reading and cooking, as well as while gathering with others, being in nature and in all other realms of your lifestyle. We hope that this magazine encourages you to be malleable with your one precious life. If we can all remind ourselves of what is most important to us — and focus our energy on nurturing those sacred people, experiences and moments — then we’re sowing seeds of contentment that will nourish us for the days, weeks and years to come.
