Being - Issue 6

この号では

We value the notion of balance in this magazine so much so that it’s the theme of this issue. As you journey through your copy of Being, you may like to reflect on how you relate to the idea of balance. Some stories explore this explicitly, such as Kaitlin’s feature on cultivating balance, whereas other articles dive into balance from a more abstract angle, such as Fernanda’s piece about the art of doing nothing or Jane’s exploration of Buddha nature. Living life aligned with your values is another way of being in balance, which is contemplated in Jess’ feature on values-inspired journaling and in Sam’s article about valuing your time. We are also introducing a new addition to Being: a tear-sheet activity. Our first article in this issue is Danae’s feature on ikigai, known as your “reason for being”. This Japanese concept is such a profound exploration of balance as it relies on finding a sense of harmony in all facets of life in order to feel fulfilled. In this issue’s activity lift-out, you’ll learn more about ikigai by diving deep into the notion in order to connect with your reason for being.
