Veganism calls upon us to live the most compassionate lives we are capable of living. Veganism challenges us to look outside of ourselves and our immediate needs and to consider other, far broader and more pressing, needs. We are brought into a world of collective consciousness and invited to contemplate the sustainability of our actions, along with the health of our bodies and our environment. We begin thinking about where we belong in this delicate ecological balance of interwoven relationships called life.
In other words, we become mindful.
There is perhaps no better time of year for VEGWORLD to devote itself to a study of mindfulness. It is precisely during those times when holiday stresses bear down upon us and the world seems at its most harried and hectic, that the practice of mindfulness is so very urgently needed. In this issue, we are pleased to assist you with that task.
- Peruse the wisdom of Mindful Vegan, Lani Muelrath, in our cover story, “Is Mindfulness the Missing Link?”
- Sit back and clear your head with Christy Aguillard’s helpful advice in “’Tis the Season to be Vegan.”
- Dream a little dream about what it would be like if he whole world joined us in our efforts to create a utopic “Vegan Tale.”
- Learn about the elegant simplicity of this lifestyle in Cathy Carter’s musings entitled, “Kiss Me, I’m Vegan.”
We’ve got scrumptious holiday recipes, great getaway locations, and dining out tips for everyone, child and adult alike.
Happy Holidays from VEGWORLD
