WARM + COOL VIBRATIONS

I find that children and adults alike love eating soups. What is it about a warm, steaming bowl of goodness that provides the feeling that all is well? I think it’s because it reminds us of the warmth and safety of a mother’s care.

Soups are warming, nourishing bowls that carry a medley of high-vibration ingredients in bubbling, healing waters.

The secret trick to preparing delicious soups is to avoid over-cooking the veggies. In a large pot, first sauté the harder veggies such as carrots and celery. Then add your favorite spices to the mix. My typical rotation includes cumin, fresh ginger, and turmeric root. Now, add liquid and quickly blanch the greens and lighter veggies for no more than a few minutes. Kill the flame and let the flavors blend naturally. Add a simple squeeze of lemon. For more of a meal, serve the soup over steamed quinoa, buckwheat, millet, or rice. Always top it off with a nice garnish of fresh sprouts and seeds.

Salads are cooling, crunchy, and alive vibrations of “yum.”

Eating raw greens and veggies deeply connects us to Mother Nature. Chewing these plants with mindful awareness gets our metabolism churning by signaling our bodies to begin the digestive process. I cannot overstate the extent to which regularly eating raw vegetable salads high in fiber and a wide array of essential vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, and phytonutrients is absolutely vital to maximum health. An added boost? All that roughage will clean you out by significantly easing the elimination of unwanted digestive waste buildup. As you begin to acclimate to this routine, focus on cutting down on or completely eliminating oily salad dressings and opt instead to grace your greens with zesty lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or gluten-free tamari. If you want a bit of creamy goodness to accent your homemade dressing, add a bit of avocado or some blended cashews or Brazil nuts. And don’t forget to experiment with fresh herbs!
