]]> My Meditations

I’ve been asked a lot lately about what I do to meditate. So I thought I’d share with you all in one quick blog post 🙂

These days I’m finding it difficult to practice my Vipassana mediation of completely clearing my mind and focusing on my breath. So I have created this for myself instead. It gives my mind something to focus on and at the end I feel incredible! It really sets the tone for the whole day.

Here we go

One – The Breath

I start by clearing my mind and solely observing my breath. Some days I am able to do this quite well. These days, I cannot.  When I have a busy day ahead, its sometimes very hard to let my mind rest and all I’m able to do is 3-5 breaths without my mind wondering, to be honest.

I aim for 1 minute. But I let myself off the hook if Its too much of a struggle and just try to focus on 3-5 belly breaths just to steady my breathing.

Two – Positive Thoughts

I have created a mantra for myself.  Or a series of really positive things I say.

For example:

I am present. I am grounded. I am healthy. I am happy. I am strong inside and out. I am financially abundant. I am kind. I am humble. I am successful.

I will even add specific stuff like:

I do 17 massages/week. I do 4 spray tans/week. I sell 2 personal training packages/month.

I say this at least 3 times in a row. Sometimes more if I am in a funky mood or tired. And If I’m even having trouble focusing on this I say them out loud to help.

Three – Gratitude

I sit and think of all the things I’m grateful for. And I don’t just think of them…. I feel them! I smile. Sometimes I cry because it makes me so happy and I’m so freakin grateful 🙂

Four – Grounding

I ground myself.  If I’m seated I feel the floor under my feet or the chair under my bum. If I’m laying on the ground I feel the floor under my body.

 

That’s it! This usually takes between 5-10 minutes to start my day.

Try it and tell me what you think 🙂

Happy Friday everyone!

Its been a long time coming, I know. The anticipation has been killing you lol

Sorry for the delay.

I spent quite some time trying recipes for kale chips to find my favorite one…. And here it is!

Ingredients 

Ingredients:
  • 2 bunches of kale
  • 1 cup cashew nuts
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme if you have it on hand – crazy, right? Trust me!
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to get the right consistency – thick but creamy
  • squeeze lemon juice
  • 1 tsp of tumeric
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
Directions:
  1. Toss all the ingredients (except for the Kale) into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add water until you get the consistency of a cheese sauce.
  3. tear the leaves off of the spine of the kale.
  4. wash the kale and dry thoroughly.
  5. pour the Go Nuts “Cheese” Sauce over the kale until fully coated. Get right in there with your hands and mix it up well!

OVEN: place on a baking tray and bake at 135° C (275° F) for about 25 minutes – flipping over half way through.

DEHYDRATOR: place on the rack and set to dry at 50° C (130° F) for about 10-12 hours or overnight.

There ya have it! Enjoy! <3
