HOW TO CREATE, LOVE AND LIVE WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART

THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING OUT YOUR AUTHENTIC DESIRES

Tapping in is as much a skill that takes healthy work as it is a gift. It starts with a happy you living out your authentic desires. Im talking about doing those things and being with those people that really feed your soul a juicy life. This authenticity allows you to experience creative and sensual intimacy in its purest brilliance. Its fresh, free and fun, just like the person you were always meant to be. These good feelings start with a healthy sacral (svadisthana) chakra, which is located at the low belly and is associated with emotions, taste and reproductive function.

HOW THE SACRAL CHAKRA RELATES TO YOUR EMOTIONAL HEALTH

The sacral chakra is fluid like its element water and vibrant as its associated color, orange. A balanced root chakra allows you to experience intimacy, to love wholly, and to be honest with yourself and others. An imbalanced over-active sacral chakra may cause emotional overreactions, attachment, muscle and abdominal cramps. An under-active sacral chakra may cause lack of creativity, depression or fear of happiness and irregular menstrual cycles. Its a bit of a balance game to find your sweet spot, but well worth the continued effort.

SIGNS OF EMOTIONAL AND CREATIVE CENTER IMBALANCE

Excessive daydreaming
Lack of fulfillment and satisfaction
Indulging or addictive behaviors
Negative and destructive emotions
Neediness or codependency on others

SWEET ORANGE CARROT TURMERIC SMOOTHIE

If you are a fan of sweet but not too sweet, healthy, but not too healthy, spicy but not too spicy, this may be your favorite new smoothie.

So here is a little successful smoothie recipe I made with a soothing and fun fusion of flavours. Give it a go and erase a few flavours if it is too much for you. For me, this loose recipe of foods and spices, was a wonderful experience:

RECIPE

*Makes one large portion:

3 Carrots

1 large Papaya

1 piece ginger

2 small frozen apple bananas

2 spoon scoops yogurt

1/3 cup coconut meat

¼ cup almond milk

6-10 mint leaves

1 teaspoon turmeric

dash of black pepper

dash of cumin

dash of vanilla

small piece of ginger

PUT IN BLENDER AND BLEND THAT SHIT

!!!EXTREMELY IMPORTANT STEP!

Be with your food...not where you were earlier, yesterday or where you need to be in an hour or tomorrow, just be with the food. Think loving thoughts or gratitude for the food you are about to put in your body. Plants are smart and will absorb the thoughts you put into them and become whatever you imagine them to be whether that be healthy, harmful or happy.

Put in bowl, add some fun toppings like hemp seeds, coconut chunks or granola and enjoy each bite.

Once again be with your food...feel it in your mouth, smell it, listen to it, follow it down your throat and into your belly. Eat slowly, breathe and smile.
