Reclaim your calm. In these times, take a minute to remember that we’re all in this together. Let art be a remedy during this period.

Bliss Yogi/DJ Sound Chakra, Tori, is back in the US after spending some months in Ghana. Sharing her inspirational words: we miss you!

@toritawk’s March 11th 2020 post.
TRANSPARENCY
⁣
I did not go to Ghana for work or play. I went for a deeper level of 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞...to come closer to myself. I came to isolate. The lack of constant communication, responsibility, hustle & bustle, & pressure allowed me to feel for the first time in a long time. To TRULY feel. I cried over things that happened years ago...I mean sob-sniffle-snot-ugly cried. Things I thought I moved past crept up & sat next to me. For once, I didn’t have to ignore for the sake of “sanity”...for the sake of keeping up with the pace of my daily life in America. When traumatic things happen to me here, I often say, “I don’t have time to sit on that...it is what it is.” In Ghana, I didn’t have to be strong.

I could be completely raw & delicate. I could be 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐋𝐋𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝗪𝐀𝐘 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊. Like blackity black bla black black yaw! I could be kind to strangers because it’s normal. I could laugh loudly because it’s normal. I randomly danced in the streets just like I do here, but it was celebrated. Here, people are so miserable sometimes it feels radical to do so. I could walk slowly. I could hear my inner voice clearly. The sun shined 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘. No matter what happened, you could count on the warm sun greeting you. When I stared at the sun, my eyes didn’t burn or water like they do here. I could literally stare & marvel. NO FOOD DESERTS. Food was literally 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝗪𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄. ⁣COMMUNITY.

We are family & they know it. They affectionately yell “seesta Afia” when they see me coming (Afia means Friday born). Hospitality? UNMATCHED. Reminds me of the south where my parents are from💛
⁣
People ask me a million questions about being there but guess what? Anything beyond the peace was bonus. Life changing is what it was. Gratitude.⁣ Side note: I love America, sometimes I just feel like it doesn’t love me back. It was a nice breather but I’m glad to be back HOME 💛 🇺🇸✨⁣ Art love: prophete_art.

The sun is shining.
Thank you Tina Helena from Germany, for covering Bliss Yoga Accra’s story! Article image: @diegoasamoa.

Tina Helena: I wrote about yoga for the latest LoNam magazine, in Germany - in these crazy times grounding yourself in your body, breathing, pausing and reflecting has a calming effect. 🙏 What I love most about yoga is its ability to transform and do good.
The fabulous @AfricaYogaProject (Kenya), YogaStrength (Sierra Leone), PrisonFreedomProject (South Africa) and @BlissYogaAccra (Ghana) show this all too well. A million thanks to beautiful @nanaamoakoanin from Bliss for the interview and your insights. I hope to be practicing with you again some day soon.

Maybe this could be a “reset” season - when we reset our priorities and learn what is really important in life. What better way to do that than stop rushing around and do some yoga. Stay healthy, everyone!” Article translation: It means “more than a sports discipline: your first thought on yoga probably takes you rather to Asia than Africa. But yoga has become ever more popular on the African continent and is practiced in very innovative ways in different African countries. Some sources say yoga even has its origin in Africa.

Home Wellness. The Best Way To Combat Self Isolation. Pick Up The Phone. Author: Leaf Arbuthnot for Vogue.com. “Last weekend, sequestered at my parents’ house in the suburbs, I did something I’ve not done in a decade. I rang my best friend. Not because I needed her advice or because there was some meet-up looming that would be simpler to orchestrate by phone. I just rang to have a chat. She picked up, a little surprised. We used to do this as kids – her at her home, me at mine, on and on until we got told off for wracking up a bill – but we’d fallen out of practice. Millennials have an uneasy relationship with landlines: when I started working at a newspaper after university, one of the toughest things I had to learn was to pick up the bloody phone. I’ve got better at it but even now feel a twist of horror when I get a call from an unknown number. My rational brain puckers to a raisin and I feel sure, genuinely convinced, that doom awaits. But coronavirus is changing how we communicate. Ezra Klein, the American author and podcaster, refers to what we are going through as a “social recession”, which I think captures the danger of the situation well. As of yesterday, the hubs around which people in Britain have traditionally congregated – pubs, restaurants, gyms – are no longer allowed to operate. Many of my friends live in London, most within a five-mile radius, but we cannot congregate.” As the inspo quote doing the rounds of social media goes, “We are all in this together, even if we’re apart.” Image: @thejungalow

Our bliss creatives. What can magazines do to find purpose during this time? More broadly many of you, who we love in our community, work in the fashion and arts industry, and fill many diverse roles, from photography to interior design. This conversation extends across so many professional dimensions. You bring us inspiring concepts and projects all year round.

Some would say, it’s a seemingly ridiculous question at a time when people surely have more pressing concerns about their health and finances.

But publications that aspire to drive the cultural conversation have a role to play in this crisis, too. They are very important to our wellness scoreboard.

Vanity Fair Italia has started featuring doctors on its covers rather than movie stars and has made it a mission to rally the country around the hard-hit citizens of Northern Italy. London-based Dazed magazine is making its latest issue available for free online a week before it is available in stores. Condé Nast is not planning to skip any print editions.

In the US, most of the publisher’s titles finished sending their May issues to the printer last week and this week and were able to photograph and write most content before the publisher shifted to working from home about two weeks ago. But by the time those issues come out in mid-April, their reader will be in a very different reality than editors could have anticipated at the beginning of March.

So, can they keep print media relevant in the age of Covid-19?

This seat of solar fire
is a plexus of purification.
Our gut connection
aids in luminous transformation.
Grounded in courageous willpower,
we burn through ego’s desire.

Some ways i’ve been strengthening the immunity of
Inner Sun lately 🌞🔥✨: Singing
Dancing, running, sweating
Drinking lots of ginger + turmeric tea. Soaking in the sun above, feeling the warmth on my face
Lighting candles + incense
Wearing yellow + creating yellow-centered art

How are you feeding your solar power within? 👁💥 Words and art by: @mosaiceye
