Chakra Cozy, the debut seasonal print publication from LA mystics Riz and Oriah Mirza, is rewriting the rules of lifestyle media, and you can find it at Barnes & Noble stores nationwide right now.
There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that only Los Angeles can produce. It’s not just the freeway traffic or the calendar packed with networking events. It’s the relentless sense that you should be consuming something, optimizing something, performing something at all times. Wellness, in this city, has long been just another item on the to-do list, another aesthetic to project. So when a magazine arrives promising to genuinely slow you down rather than simply market slowness to you, it deserves a second look.
Chakra Cozy is that magazine.
Founded by husband-and-wife creative duo Riz and Oriah Mirza, longtime figures in LA’s spiritual and shamanic lifestyle community, the debut issue of this 204-page seasonal print publication hit shelves this April and is now available at Barnes & Noble stores nationwide, as well as Books-A-Million locations, spanning 48 states and 395 retail destinations. For a concept that might have once lived on the fringes of the spiritual underground, that kind of mainstream placement is no small statement. It says, plainly, that mystical living has arrived in the center aisle.
The Mirzas, who have spent nearly two decades leading international retreats, hosting The Mystics Podcast to hundreds of thousands of combined subscribers, and appearing on platforms like Gaia TV and Coast to Coast AM, have built their reputations on a simple but radical proposition: that spirituality isn’t separate from everyday life. It’s woven into what you cook, how you decorate your home, where you travel, and how you begin your mornings. Chakra Cozy is their most ambitious expression of that philosophy yet.
The debut issue, titled Bloomspell, centers on themes of spring renewal and inner awakening, appropriate perhaps for a publication stepping into the world for the first time. Inside, readers move through a rich editorial mix: rituals and astrology, sacred home design and cozy interiors, ceremonial cooking and food as spiritual practice, travel to sacred landscapes, energy work and shamanic teachings. None of it feels like a wellness trend checklist. The sections are designed to breathe, to be revisited, to live on a nightstand rather than a recycling bin.
“For a long time, we dreamed about creating a magazine for people who love beauty, ritual, spirituality, cozy living, and soulful expansion,” Riz and Oriah Mirza shared. “We wanted to build a space where mystical ideas meet everyday life, something real that you can hold in your hands, where you can step away from screens and return to yourself.”
That phrase, return to yourself, might sound like marketing language in another context. Here, it feels earned. The physical design of the magazine is deliberate: thick pages, immersive imagery, long-form storytelling from practicing mystics, shamans, astrologers, artists, and spiritual teachers. This is not a quick read. It doesn’t want to be. In a media environment engineered to maximize scroll velocity, Chakra Cozy is quietly, almost defiantly, insisting that you stay.
The timing is shrewder than it might first appear. Los Angeles, and the broader American cultural moment, is in the middle of a real reckoning with digital burnout. Readers are increasingly seeking content that supports inner growth rather than outer performance, and print, counterintuitively, is having something of a renaissance. Barnes & Noble itself announced plans to open 60 new stores nationwide in 2026, leaning into a boutique, community-centered model that prioritizes discovery and lingering over speed and transaction. A magazine like Chakra Cozy, rich, sensory, and unhurried, fits the spirit of that environment remarkably well.
“Our intention is for Chakra Cozy to feel like stepping into a warm room filled with candles, tea, inspiration, and beautiful conversations,” the Mirzas said. “It’s about creating a sense of home within yourself.”
What distinguishes this publication from the many wellness titles that have come and gone is its refusal to separate the spiritual from the practical. There are no empty aspirations here, no instructions to simply “manifest” your way through a hard season. Instead, the magazine offers a grounded vocabulary: here is a morning ritual, here is a recipe designed with intention, here is a home corner to build that makes the invisible feel visible. It calls this new editorial category “Seasonal Mystical Living,” and the framing works. It positions the magazine not as a guide to a better you, but as a companion to a more conscious life.
For longtime followers of the Mirza brand, Chakra Cozy feels like a natural culmination. For newcomers discovering it on the shelf at Barnes & Noble, it may feel like stumbling across a secret that half of Los Angeles has already been keeping. Either way, the invitation is the same: put down the phone, make the tea, and turn the page.
Chakra Cozy is available now at Barnes & Noble stores nationwide and at Books-A-Million locations across 48 states.
