Parvati Magazine November 2013 | Page 4

Welcome Editors People used to say to me: “You need to get grounded”. At that time, I had no idea what they meant. Interestingly, I also used to think that being spiritual was some disembodied state ‘out there’, rather than an embodied presence ‘right here’. In order to understand more about awakened living, I have had to learn to become more rooted in my soulful self. Just like a tree, the higher we wish to go, the deeper our roots needed to be. By contacting the root of a matter, we open to the possibility of stable growth built upon solid foundations. Parvati Devi Editor-in-Chief Whether you need a grounding business plan, some zest from one of nature’s best pick-me-ups – ginger root, or whether you need to find your centre through a steady yoga, meditation or fitness practice, this issue of Parvati Magazine, that explores the notion of “roots”, is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
