In this issue

In August we celebrate the art of communication in all its myriad forms—vibrational resonance, speech, body language, feelings and intentions, multi-species communication, and communicating beyond this earthly plane.
Daaji takes us across all dimensions of communication, Sara Bubber shares her experience of communicating with plants and animals, and also tells the story of Satyakama and what he learned from animals, and Niroop Prabhakar celebrates the connecting power of food.
Also, we hear from Prasad Veluthanar on how to tailor the food you eat according to your dosha types, Bawa Jain on the key attitudes of a purposeful life, Ichak Adizes on how we treat colleagues at work, Victor Kannan on the debate over artificial consciousness, Anna Monardo on her family story of immigration and arranged marriage, and Karuna Rawal on a humble superfood that could revolutionize our food production.
A big thank you to all our writers, interviewees, journalists, editors, designers, artists, photographers, and technical, production, and logistics teams. It wouldn't happen without all of us.
Next month, join us again for a month of Peace and great content.
Happy reading,
The editors
