“Some people say that Buddhist practice is to dissolve the self.

They do not understand that there is no self to be dissolved.

There is only the notion of self to be transcended.”

~~Thich Nhat Hanh

OIL-FREE HEALTHY VEGAN SPINACH, WALNUT, BASIL AND SUN DRIED TOMATO PESTO RECIPE

1/2 clove of garlic

1 handful of fresh spinach

8 walnut halves

1 handful fresh basil

4 sun dried tomatoes

3 tbsp of lemon juice (the more the better)

salt and pepper to taste

This recipe is simple, delicious and wonderful for you. Take the garlic, spinach, walnuts, basil, tomatoes and stick it all into a food processor. Blend until semi-smooth, now start adding the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Keep tasting as you go along. I love mine very lemony. And voilà, you have yourself a dressing that goes beautifully on pasta, tomato salads or even on toast. You can make a larger batch and keep it stored in the fridge, it should comfortably keep for about a week. Enjoy!

Woah yeah.

Sorry About My Shitty Poetry Blog: “You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You...:

“You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch. Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable…

Honour Your Body Morning Meditation

This ones a biggie, guys. Learning to honour our bodies can be one of the most challenge tasks that we face as human beings.

I know that it has been for me and it has taken years to get to a place where I feel love for myself and my body to the point where this love influences the choices that I make on a daily basis - everything from: drinking enough water to surrounding myself with people who love me unconditionally, to choosing what I want to put into my body and how much.

Through meditation, I have learned to be come aware of my subtle energy and now understand which life situations and people deplete this vital energy, so that I can make the choices that are going to help me to grow, heal and transform.

For those of you who have trouble honouring your body (this includes most of us), who are hard on yourselves or who are suffering with addiction, negative patterns or self-loathing this meditation, when practiced daily will ground, center and draw awareness to the places where you are knowingly or unknowingly harming yourself.

This is one of my favourite meditations to do starting on a new week, for 7 days.

Find a peaceful, space either outdoors or one well lit with natural light.

Sit in an upright position with your spine long, place your right hand upon your heart and your left hand on your belly and begin to breathe deeply into your belly.

When you have connected to your deep, belly breathing focus on the root chakra energy center or the perineum (space between vagina and anus to put it bluntly) and feel the energetic impact of that chakra.

Your root chakra energetically vibrates with the colour red so as you breathe, picture how vibrant the colour of your root chakra is. Is it a pale red or bright and fiery? As you breath, picture the colour getting brighter and more vibrant.

Once you have brightened the colour of your root chakra, feel the healing and empowering energy of it move through your entire body. Be open to your intuition, creative ideas, images, feelings, emotions and revelations.

Feel your heart and body fill with healing and loving energy and feel a deep sense of compassion move through you.

Feel yourself completely surrendering mind, body, heart and spirit to your deep and powerful energy making a promise to yourself to protect it and nurture it and bring this energy into each interaction, creation and exchange of your day.

“We practically can’t do anything without judging. Say, a flower - is it pretty? You almost can’t look at a flower without evaluating it. It’s very hard for you to sit and just be here and let all this stuff happen without judging. Is it good? Is it right? Is it wrong? Will it help me? That’s part of the trap. And so, what gets really exquisite is when you start to watch your own thoughts, and you realize that they’re like birds flying across the blue sky. And when you realise that and you’re finally along on the journey, you’ll notice that your mind is completely empty - mindlessly floating along. It’s all happening. It’s all happening. Oh … wow … No doer, it’s just happening!”

“

Let’s go before this when everyone was a small, scale hunter and gatherer. They had three times the amount of quality, leisure time. Some say, as much as 80% more free time, not holding to a boss, a job or commuting time. Science today, considers small scale hunting and gathering the most successful lifestyle for mankind. Because we didn’t have to work so long and hard for the basics! It was there, for the taking…

No bosses, no jobs, and everyone contributed to the “free life style”. Instead of on the job, they were able to spend their entire lives with their family, their children, their loved ones — every single minute!

Why spend your life divorced from children, loved ones, family and love, stuck in a dingy, dark hole for the vast majority of existence?” Freedom, when the boss has all the freedoms to decide destiny, food, safety and lifestyle? We’ve been brainwashed by the king bees to keep the worker bees in line to pump out the honey.

I would rather live my life in paradise, compared to a concreted, hot, planet killing, concrete jungle. According to science, every day, modernized Earth becomes more like Mars — because of our societal voices to keep us placated and happy. Of course, you’re happy because you don’t know anything beyond, slave labor and spending the majority of your existence in a dark, concreted, lifeless concreted hole.

The prairie calls, home… Homeward bound and true freedom from the yoke.
