Nirvana Magazine Issue 2! St. Lucia

Rachel touched on a lot of thoughts with our current modern society with this Nirvana issue (#2). I believe the main point is Being versus Doing . I grew up in a family rooted in modern consciousness. Strong work ethic, competitiveness, and career focused with little discussion or contemplation of the development of one’s soul and how to nourish it. I was pressured to choose a life path based on my inherent strength, intelligence, and finally finished medical training at age 30. Even though I am rewarded with helping people and saving lives, my personal time is sacrificed. As with Rachel, external forces keep asking more from me as I try to complete the tasks on my ‘to do’ list. As I get into middle age, I have started asking these same questions Rachel is asking herself, but I wish I did it earlier in my life. I believe I have to be more active and not passive in my life. I help write the script of my life story. And, through all this I also have to ask myself, does my current energy, vibe, and thoughts match that which I am trying to create?

I quite enjoyed this Issue. The personal letters really make the magazine! Ill definitely be taking a second look at this one. I hope to see more of these insightful letter as I really vibe with your perspective on life.

Your body is amazing Rachel. It is pure heaven.

Fav so far of the 6issues

Are some of the polariods over exposed for a reason?

Brandon

such a lovely place and woman 😍 my favorite pages of this issue are 16, 24, 30 and 36. but the cover photo... it's the best 😘

I like full length shots with good lighting. I don’t like what I call contrived shots when the subject twists hips or places a leg conveniently in the way it’s pseudo discretion. So my favourites are on pages, 25, 26, 29, 31, 48, 51, 71, 76. It’s always good to see high quality images of you. But more like the shots highlighted would get my vote!! Thanks for the great work so far.

It would be cool if another benefit of the premium tier was to receive an added collection of bloopers, or imperfect shots, angles, etc. heck, it wouldn’t even need to be made pretty, could just be an uploaded folder on Dropbox for that level. Just an idea 😉

Shocker that the vlog isn't included in the 15 a month.

Love this issue! Thank you for answering my questions and for the photography tips

Vlog coming ?

Rachel, what will be our Easter gift? How about a video of you naked?

Pergamo

No Rachel, please don't :-). As my girlfriend says - the only place hair belongs is on top of the head. So I'm sorry Chris I need to disagree with you ;-) ;-)

Milan

It works. Just tried it. It may take a few minutes if your internet is slow as it is a large file but it works.

hi! the link doesn't work :(

The photographers you're working with are no doubt great, but I think all the iconic images of you that really capture your beauty were taken by yourself! Given the current circumstances, I'd love to see an issue or partial issue of selfies. Images that show your natural relaxed expression and poses like https://i.redd.it/gcacj6ph84221.jpg , not the "serious model" stuff you do in the magazines.

Beautiful photo shoot!

Pontxo

Great issue! So many beautiful images, in a stunningly beautiful location. Wow. Especially the very last photo is so gorgeous. I'd love to see an option to download HQ versions of all the photos featured inside the magazine.

Thank you for letting me escape the world for a short time and enjoy Nirvana.

Good

This is my favorite issue yet and I’ve been here since WTVR #1! 🌴

Rachel, I love all your photos, but I especially liked the ones from the special edition (p.108 and the pages after) where you allowed a certain area to be less groomed than in subsequent issues. Any chance you will consider going back to that (or perhaps even a bit more growth) in an up coming issue? Variety is the spice of life! Thanks

Hi Dale, the magazine is $15 tier and the video tier is $39. The vlog is coming for sure. Polaroids are by nature imperfect, that’s their charm. We can’t really control how they come out unfortunately.

Nirvana Magazine

Rachel I understand the idea behind the polaroids but a lot of them are blurry, so not really up to being in a $39 monthly magazine. I hope the vlog is worth the wait. Stay safe in these crazy times and your fans/subscribers will surely understand if issue #3 is delayed.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is vlog coming ?

Nithinkrishnan Chelleton

Just wow

Rachel es una obra de arte. Realmente impresionante el trabajo de fotografía u locación...

Big fan of the hand written pages. Loving all the Rachel in this issue. She’s def the reason I’m here 🖤

Miles

What hotel was that in St. Lucia?? Great issue for just 48 hours of time on the ground!!

The black and white pics on the bed are pure pleasure to look at. Not only you’re absolutely stunning, the quality of the pictures themselves are magnificent. So slick and smooth. 👏🏻

Excited!!!!

Ewol Prime

In my humble opinion, my favorite photos were the cover and those on pages 25, 50, 75 and 78. Although in this last photo it looks like you were digitally inserted.

Pergamo

BEAAAAIUUTIFULLL!! 🙌🏽

I'll be dreaming of Rachel even more after this.🔥😍 Just magnificent images and words to think about. Great job by all! 👍

Milan

Thank you for sharing your breath-taking beauty during these dark times!

You deserve a lot of 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for your work, everything is incredible.

Fanguy

Holy Shit Rachel!!

Not a bad cover Rachel

Outstanding work. The shots on the toilet are so perfectly candid, sexy and cheeky. Can’t believe I am typing that, but it’s true.

The cover page could be my new wallpaper

Man

I missed the boat on the last Polaroids, will you be doing them again?

Haha thanks Mitchell let Alvin know to add some more shots to the bts extras 😊

Nirvana Magazine

This was amazing, love how you put together the magazine and the fact that you manage to continue even though we are in the times we are in right now. Keep going:)

Thank you Henry!

Nirvana Magazine

Thank you Mike!

Nirvana Magazine

Completely agree with this. I do wonder if it’s more a case of working with a single photographer. It would be nice to see that switched up at times. And again it’s not being overly critical, it’s wonderful to have this magazine. But it would be nice to see something different stylistic every now and then.

Rachel is never too much !!! rssss

Pergamo

what a beautiful pièce of art. it was long to wait for #2 and now it will be even longer for #3

Amazing issue! Love the color pics!

Nice issue overall, great location and great pictures of Rachel. I just wanted to give my feedback on a particular thing though. While I guess I understand the artistic appeal of the polaroids and I do like some of them, I personally don't feel it justifies them taking up 30 pages of a 79 page issue. I mean, I can see the desire to be artsy with how they look but in the end, a lot of them are just kinda blown out, blurry and lacking color. In a magazine that seems more focused on glossy, colorful, HD pictures they're of less interest to me personally. And really, I understand this magazine is an artistic expression and who am I tell to Rachel or anyone else how to express herself in her work, I know, so this is really just my personal feedback as a fan and patreon of this project. I'm just bringing it up because looking at Issue 1, these polaroids are supposed to be a feature of the magazine I guess?

Fucking awesome issue Rachel & Co! Love the polaroids and hand written pages...gives it that personal touch.

Henry

High quality

When aliens make contact with Earth and threaten our species, our world leaders will show them this magazine and they will make peace.

This one was quite creative, I love it! 🍷

Alejandro Gonzalez

Really vibing the connection vs chaos piece!...and if Nirvana were a destination, St. Lucia would be it 🏔🌴🌴

Good magazine... need more full frontal nudes to be perfect.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful!! You are just a vision of heaven!! Lol. Photos were amazing. I really love reading your insights

eric
