Compiled and styled by over 100 women from around the world, 'Women In Livingness' Magazine contains back-to-back offerings from women from all walks of life, speaking openly and honestly about the issues that truly matter to women today.
About
In 2014 the concept of the Women in Livingness Magazinewas founded by Natalie Benhayon as an innovative expansion to the Women in Livingness brand and the growing community of Esoteric Women’s Health.
It is today a Magazine that is compiled and styled by a team of women residing in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Holland, Norway, Canada, and Singapore, delivering its readers a diverse view to explore openly and honestly all the issues that truly matter to women – with front to cover stories from of all walks of life.
In recent years our engagement with media has increased onto the world wide web, creating a culture of on-the-go reading, sharing, liking, and the new scene that just about anyone can become an author and self-publish through blogging and online communities. Consequently, the phrase “print media is dead” has been the subject
of many discussions if not threatening the industry that some say will all move to be only accessible via the internet.
However, print media is not dead at all, what we are lacking and sorely searching for is quality in our printed media. The inspiration for starting this Magazine is founded on this element.
We all know that women love magazines, they are nostalgic, it offers them not just something to read but a lifestyle to go with
it - sit back, relax, take time-out, and digest a magazine and its contents, and be reassured that many other women out
there are thinking and feeling the same things you are.
– Natalie Benhayon, Chief-Editor
This initiative is comprised of women who collaborate for the magazine to deliver content with integrity, content that communicates to women that innately they are complete and not broken, and content that establishes a new way of education for women and men; that we get to the heart of our health and well-being and to the heart of how to live who we truly are….
Integrity in Media
​
This includes discarding the use of the unrealistic Photoshop adjustments – yes that’s right! The unique commitment of our team is – no Photoshop allowed. This means our photographers work extensively in various locations across Australia and Europe to capture the natural beauty, spark, and essence of women in their photography. Women in Livingness understands that the photos are an equally important part of the ‘message’ that will be communicated to its readers – we want women to be inspired by what they see and not judged for not measuring up to unrealistic body shapes and features. Our models are a combination of our writing teams and or other women a part of the livingness community who volunteer their time so that our readers can visually connect and relate to the women who are experiencing similar issues and have found a true way to address them.

Our team of writers and editors contribute articles from their personal life journeys and do so on a voluntary basis. They have been their own and each other’s inspiration through our worldwide community by having brought true change to the way they live and connect as women. Our motto – ‘write your walk’ – sees our teams committed to addressing the topical women’s issues first personally, enabling them to write from experience, expertise and wisdom.Women do not need to be “told” what to do by any latest trend, and our writer’s style is setting a new precedent for how women communities can connect, educate and communicate with each other.
Writers & Editors
A woman is not a 24/7 mum – motherhood is a choice and not a given, she is not 24/7 career focused, and, she is not a morphed mix of the two. A woman does not value her family, her friends, her colleagues or anyone else above the value of herself – she carries equality in all aspects of life. A woman can be nurturing, caring, tender, warm and embracing, equally she can be firm, direct, steady and strong. A woman cannot be “boxed” to this stereotype or that stereotype – her expression is flexible, and not bound by any restrictive measures.
Women in Livingness is re-defining what it means to be a woman…all women, no matter their age, race or culture, carry within themselves all of the above beholding qualities and more.
The current rates of illness and disease, our lowered standards of health and well-being, the exhaustion, lack of worth and discontentment indicate we are indeed in need of a global change.
Through the arising of our true qualities from, our innate and true essence, the paradigm shift we are calling out for can occur.
In the past 60 years, our ideas of what it means to be a woman has been reformed time and time again – but have we really discovered our true shape yet? We’ve had the decades of the prim and proper, the care free and exploring, the rebelling, the fight for equal rights and pay, burning our bras, and as we arrive in 2016 where do we find ourselves?
Our achievements over the decades are not to be criticised, as without them we would be much worse-off, but at what expense to our bodies and quality of life have we achieved this success, and are there areas that we’ve missed? The rates of illness and disease for women on a global scale is increasing to stats and figures that make the likelihood of its occurrence all too common, creating a culture of ill-health acceptance and lowering the standards of what is considered being truly well. The more majorly defined areas of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, incidences of hysterectomy’s, polycystic ovaries, fertility issues and more are widespread...
What about low self-esteem? Lack of confidence or lack of worth? These are just some of the typical, yet debilitating conditions accompanying women of the 21st century.In the age of easier travel, WiFi connection available just about everywhere you go, 3D television, smart-phones with an App for anything and everything – have we advanced in areas but left out some vital ingredients that are a part of the whole?
We need to redefine what is true and normal health and well-being; vitality, joy, having a spark for life, accepting imperfections and not criticising them, are not utopian states of being for women, but the everyday reality for the many women who have embraced The Livingness. The ‘Livingness’ simply describes a way of living life that allows women (and all) to be who they truly are, to live by an innate essence that is equal within all, free of pressures, ideals and beliefs, and despite the demands of modern society, it is a living connection that can be sustained day-to-day...

she does not carry beliefs of what she can or cannot do...
