Odyssey Magazine

Odyssey Magazine Conscious Living Magazine est 1977. A magazine dedicated to ‘moving toward a new age.’ Since 1977 much has changed and much has remained the same.

Odyssey Magazine is a South African platform for mindful living, creativity and growth — connecting seekers, thinkers and creators across the world. We invite you to live kindly, gently, and more consciously with Odyssey Magazine

The inspiration for launching Odyssey in 1977 was to publish a magazine, with solid journalistic integrity that supported the equality of all people, the honouring of ea

rth and all living things, and societal transformation. In 2022 Odyssey Magazine still has maintained a traditional journalistic approach with content that counts and nourishes and is mainly concerned with the practice of providing news, reviews, columns, features, and related social and wellness content, voicing certain issues that are prevalent in the holistic, conscious and green living space. Odyssey supports engaged spirituality, the active engagements of our hearts, and awareness in service of the higher and collective good, honouring the sacredness of our Earth mother and all living things. It’s a deep commitment to societal transformation responding to our world’s suffering with wisdom and deep care. Traditional journalism focuses on the important stuff that is happening, not only on our planet and in our world, but outside our windows, in the lives of our people, in our communities, and right here in our own hearts. That’s where Odyssey comes in.

What if jealousy is not a flaw to overcome, but an invitation to look deeper?

In Let Them Shine, Lucua Prakashini BodyTalk with Lucua Vedanta 4 Allexplores jealousy through the lens of Vedanta, inviting us to move beyond comparison and into a deeper understanding of ourselves.

“You are the awareness in which all experiences arise. Thoughts arise in you. Emotions arise in you. Jealousy arises in you. But you are not limited by any of them.”

When we recognise that another person’s light does not diminish our own, we create space for compassion, freedom, and wholeness.

A gentle reminder to welcome every emotion, every season, and every experience as part of the journey of being fully human.

What if even the feelings we resist have something to teach us?

Nature rarely clings to what is ready to be released.

Trees let go of their leaves. Snakes shed their skin. Animals move with the rhythms of the seasons, trusting the wisdom of change.

Perhaps there is something to learn in that.

What if growth is not always about adding more, but about letting go? Releasing the habits, beliefs, expectations, and stories that no longer serve who we are becoming.

Transformation is rarely loud.

Transformation of you, Month 3 is about Shedding.

Most of it happens in the quiet moments, hidden from view, where what no longer serves us begins to fall away.

Like the chrysalis, there are seasons when growth looks like stillness. Trust them. Something beautiful is unfolding beneath the surface.

There are seasons in life when certainty begins to fall away, like leaves from a tree.

What once felt unquestionable may no longer fit. Old beliefs, familiar identities, and inherited stories invite deeper reflection.

Autumn of the soul is not a season of having all the answers. It is a season of courageous inquiry. A time to listen inwardly, trust what is unfolding, and make space for new wisdom to emerge.

What questions is life asking you to sit with right now? 🍂

June invites us to look up.

As Venus and Jupiter meet in the evening sky, meteor showers streak across the darkness, and the Strawberry Moon rises at month’s end, we’re reminded that we are part of something vast, rhythmic, and ever-changing.

The cosmos moves in cycles of emergence, alignment, release, and renewal. So do we.

Perhaps these celestial moments are less about prediction and more about presence. An invitation to pause, wonder, and reconnect with the mystery that surrounds us every day.
