Complete Wellbeing is a magazine that promotes health, happiness and fulfillment. Complete Wellbeing promotes the idea that individuals are not sum of parts but an integrated whole. In other words, one's mind, body and soul must work in harmony to feel well. It highlights the inter-connectedness of an individual's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects. Every issue focuses on a theme that covers all aspects that are necessary for enjoying good health, creating happiness, sharing love and experiencing fulfillment.

Complete Wellbeing and the Three Chakra© concept[edit]

Complete Wellbeing has emerged from a copyrighted concept called the Three Chakras© namely—the physical, the physiological and the psychological. The editor of Complete Wellbeing is also one of the authors of The Three Chakras© concept. The concept is explained briefly as following:

Physical—Visible and measurable: According to the Three Chakras concept, physical is that which is visible and measurable. This would typically include our external attributes such as height, weight, waist size, skin color and texture, hair color and texture, and so on.

Physiological—Not visible but measurable: The physiological is measurable but not visible to the naked eye. For instance, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, urea levels can be easily measured but are not visible.

Psychological—Neither visible nor measurable: The psychological is neither visible nor measurable. The various emotions (fear, joy, love) as well as emotional states (anxiety, guilt, confidence, self esteem) cannot be seen or measured with tools available today.

The concept states that because of the interconnectedness and interdependence of the three chakras, it is impossible to have a problem in one of the chakras without it also affecting the other two. For instance, stress falls under the psychological chakra. But stress affects our heart and other organs too. This means stress affects our physiological chakra. Moreover, stress can cause premature hair fall or greying, thereby affecting the physical chakra. [1]

Health and Happiness Surveys[edit]

India's role models of Health and Happiness[edit]

The Complete Wellbeing-Synovate survey on Health and Happiness, conducted by global research firm Synovate, asked respondents from 8 metros of India to name their role models in fields of entertainment, sports, politics and business.
