Welcome
Editors
Welcome to the September 2014 edition of PARVATI
MAGAZINE.
The word “fierceness” may conjure images of aggression, even violence. But from a spiritual perspective,
fierceness can sit alongside us during our meditation
practice, as we find fierce, single-pointed focus even
when our mind creatively attempts to pull us from this
moment. Being fierce along the path means finding
profound courage and compassion to overcome
habitual patterns and situations that eclipse our true
magnificence. Fierceness inspires us to face rather
than run from life’s challenges.
Fierceness is not about attacking or closing our hearts
to this moment. Rather, it is a luminous sword that is
non-attached and vividly discerning. It rises through
our spine when we are rooted, vital and expansive
and adamantly insisting that our true nature rests exclusively in I AM. Its open-heartedness simultaneously
cuts through any trickiness that would move us away
from what we know is in our highest good, and the
highest good of all.
