Tom
had already created 10 online magazines with the Escapeartist brand.
He felt it was now time to deliver content that moved readers on a spiritual
level. He was passionate about acquiring freedom through exploration and
his large vision spoke to me at a deep level.
He approached me as
I was already a successful player in the creative field, having produced
numerous award winning and nominated films as well as a reality TV show,
in its second season, that is currently airing on FUEL TV. I have also
been a journalist for over a decade and the Chief Editor of a health magazine
in South East Asia.
I heard his vision,
loved what I was hearing and then took it a step further. I began to see
SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS as a magazine that would only accept the most compelling
stories. My aim is to create a standard, a mark of distinction, showcasing
journeys with moving and heartfelt tales. These will be rare, sacred experiences
that have the ability to shift our audience to leap into a journey of their
own. To be featured in SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS is a testament of literary prowess,
for the ability to trigger a transformation through one's writing alone
is a true talent.
Our writers will also
be rewarded with accolades and prizes. Details will be revealed in future
editions.

In addition to its
powerful literature, SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS will host a dynamic online community
with diverse media offerings. Look forward to a compelling web series of
interviews with inspiring authors, speakers and personalities.
I will be hosting interviews

and their inspirations. I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to connect

You have poured your hearts through your writing, and now we invite you

There is
a reason why this magazine must be produced
We have a powerful
chapter ahead of us, for this we must be ready. Shared stories of bravery,
courage and adventure from our community will feed and support us to persevere
on our paths. Despite the challenges that we may face, we must continue
to heed the call to explore, to connect and to always celebrate the beauty
that avails us.
There will be those
times of drought when we thirst to hear the achievements of our fellow
explorers, they inspire us to rise and remain buoyant, keeping our own
journeys brilliantly alive. Tales that remind us how abundant this planet
can be for those who risk.
About Our
Writers
The writers we select,
have demonstrated the possession of rare minds and hearts. They have heard
the voice of guidance. Despite challenges and the unusual nature of each
journey that has led to foreign lands and very foreign circumstances ,
they have obeyed their Call. They have conquered mountains, they have walked
treacherous paths, they have sat with shamans, drinking brews that revealed
both their humanhood and their Godhood. Some have given up everything to
follow their heart's desires.
What is
the Spiritual Journey ?
Arriving on foreign
soil, perspectives change and new thoughts are entertained. Perceptions
that are so novel, they have the potential to redirect the entire course
of one's life.
New sights are seen
and celebrated. Beauty is revealed like never before and nature, our gracious
host is most willing to joyfully dance for it's curious visitor. This performance
in all its vivid colors is nothing short of spectacular.
Oftentimes our deepest
fears may bubble to the surface. But always, in the treading of this noble
path, a blessing is gifted to the Seeker.
Remember
who you are
Step out of the current
Paradigm. Break the Trance.
We have allowed the
limitations of society to create lifestyles that are restrictive and limiting.
A traditional weekday job, the 'security' of endless projects, time filled
with busyness and efficiency. Our host of stresses are not only unhealthy,
they are against our very nature.
Surely, we have arrived
at a moment where we pay heed to the cries of our bodies craving the bosom
of Mother Nature. And the guidance that whispers revelations that our lives
can be, must be so much grander than this ?
Becoming truly spiritual
means being a Warrior . Why would I make such a statement ? Because stepping
into one's heart and then choosing to live from this realm, demands great
strength.
It means that we must
act based on divine guidance. This is not always easy to do. Having the
gall to move forth, trusting upon what is heard takes a fearlessness, not
possessed by the ordinary man or woman. But there is great beauty to be
savored that arrives only for those who journey beyond a limited existence
.
SPIRITUAL JOURNEYS is a collection
of writings and media content designed to remind the masses to return to
living as warriors.
We are noble, we are
connected.
Our destinies are tied
with each other and we must traverse this globe to experience a larger
sense of connection. Only then will we receive the limitless gifts that
with bated breath, have long awaited our reception.
I hope you enjoy SPIRITUAL
JOURNEYS.
Peace and Love,
Mahira Amir Khan
