New Consciousness Review Fall 2016 | Page 5

FROM THE EDITOR Get HAPI ! I am pleased to announce a new collaboration with M J Schwader, the publisher of New Connexion, to create an entirely new kind of directory for the conscious community – the HAPI guide. We came up with a fun new acronym that reflects both the content and the spirit of this new venture: HAPI guide at www.HAPIguide.com We wanted to be able to reflect the creative explosion taking place among today’s light workers, and showcase not only their services, books, films, and CDs, but also their articles, courses , guided tours, radio shows, videos and events. We knew it had to be available on all platforms, including tablets and phones, so we put together a really cool multimedia platform, complemented by NCR Magazine and soon to include a mobile app. Starting with the Winter Issue, NCR Magazine will include the HAPIguide Resource Directory, and HAPI will also be the focus of New Consciousness Review going forward. It is not very different from the categories we cover now, but the emphasis will be on the positive. What is HAPI all about? • HEALTH heads the list - positive, vibrant, juicy health of body mind and spirit. We will seek out the best experts to provide leading-edge information and services. • AWAKENING comes next – this is all about expanding understanding of who we are, where we came from, and all we can be. It’s about developing our internal guidance system so that we can navigate our way through life with discernment. • PURPOSE is one of those things that we are all seeking in our lives. When you understand your higher purpose and live your life accordingly you are in the flow and the world is your oyster. You are then guided to make positive choices that leave the world better for having been here. • INSPIRATION is what feeds the soul. It comes from the promptings of Spirit either directly through guides and angels, or through the agency of artists and their art, or perhaps intuitives and their insights, or through mother nature and her magnificence. The main thing we want the HAPIguide to be is uplifting and empowering. Think how much more energy we have when we’re feeling positive and joyful. In that state we can literally change our lives, and when we change ourselves, we change the world. And that’s what it’s all about! Miriam Knight Editor & Publisher 5 | NEW CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW
