Welcome to White Light Magazine. I would like to
invite you on a journey of self development and
spiritual growth. Our magazine was created twelve
years ago to provide spiritual pilgrims with a support network and
a resource magazine to help us understand our spiritual journey. I
do not have to tell you that we live in confusing times and now,
more than at any other time, we face spiritual challenges unknown
to our grandparents.
You will find in these pages, a cornucopia of choices, views,
visions and ideas. These are supplied by our contributors who are,
in most cases, not professional journalists, but visionaries who
offer their views and opinions on many healing and spiritual
modalities. Yes, there are many pathways out there, but remember
they all lead to the same destination. Your ultimate choice is to
follow the pathway of your heart.
When you read these articles, simply tune into your heart, into
your inner most feelings, and you will be guided to your particular
pathway. Know also, that the destination is assured, for guidance
always walks gently at our side.

White Light Magazine was founded twelve years ago to provide an unbiased and open forum for ideas, spiritual guidance and healing. With this understanding we are happy to offer you the unique service of advertising your products or services along with an editorial space to provide further information to our readers. However, please understand that editorial space is given under the provision of our guidelines, and the editor remains at liberty to edit for brevity, clarity and bias.
Our mission is to provide a forum for light, healing and spiritual growth and as such we ask that your editorials not only explain your products/services, but also gift the reader with some wisdom. Without this gift your editorial is merely an "advertorial" in other words, a thinly veiled advertisement aimed just at selling. Whilst we understand you are in business, we must always keep in mind that it is the dissemination of light-filled exchanges that keeps the abundance flowing in and through our lives.
Here are some very simply guidelines to help you write clearly and interestingly about your products/services.
1 Introduce yourself: people want to know about people. If you are a healer now in practice, explain your "dark days" or challenging experiences. Readers will be able to relate to you as a 'real live" person who understands the journey.
2 Watch your tone: Yes, you know a lot, but make sure you don't sound like your are talking down to us "mere mortals."
3 Don't make extreme claims: Yes, you have had amazing results, but sometimes people take this as a "one size fits all" cure. We all know that for some of us, the journey requires certain experiences. So explain two or three scenarios to help the reader understand the journey.
4 Make it clear: within the first paragraph, what you are about: for example, "ten years ago I was in a terrible car accident, and although my recovery has been challenging, I have now discovered ways to help me focus on my own healing. Perhaps these methods could help you...." The reader immediately knows this article is about healing, particularly after trauma, and, most importantly there are answers out there. In the next paragraph introduce yourself, and then give a gift. This means some little pearl of wisdom that encourages the reader to not only try your services, but to continue to support the alternative health movement.
5 Educate: Do not assume your reader knows what "energy" healing is, or even well known modalities such as Reiki. Again, this could be your little "pearl" that you gift to the reader.
6 Keep your focus on the light: Yes, I know you want to warn people against this or that, but by focusing on the light, you automatically steer people away from the dark.
7 Don't criticise others: Even little oblique references to the "strange" goings on of a certain healer or therapist simply reflects badly on you, your business and your own integrity. Everyone has their path to follow and even if we do nothing, the light will always shine away the darkness. There are enough magazines/newspapers focusing on the dark out there, remember you are writing for WHITE LIGHT magazine!
8 Decide on the focus of your article and stick to it. Do not go off on tangents (that's my job!) Readers will give up if after two or three paragraphs you are not sticking to your subject matter. Yes, I could edit it, but I would rather you pull your ideas together.
9 Make your articles fun: don't take it too seriously, but be serious! People want to learn, but they also want to be entertained. Include amusing anecdotes to illustrate and inform the reader.
10 Don't make it sound too hard (even if it is hard) This puts the reader off. They may need months of therapy, but let them understand there is a light at the end of the tunnel. In other words, "after ten years of meditation, I suddenly had a breakthrough" might be accurate, but it is pretty daunting to a beginner.
11 You are here to serve your reader: Yes, you want people to know about you and your business, but what do they want to know? Ask your friends and clients what puzzles/intrigues them the most about the work you do and address that.
12 Remind your reader that they are already on their spiritual journey and always be encouraging.
I look forward to your contributions. Please contact me if you require further clarification, but as you all know, by following your heart and keeping your focus, you will reach those who need you.
