Immerse yourself in this sacred manual for falling back in love with your body and learning how to utilize it to have a deeper connection to your inner guidance system. My hope for you is to incorporate the tools I give you in the book into your daily life and for you to make a commitment to transform your relationship with your beautiful earth suit!
I wrote this book to give women their own kitchen oracle. To give hits of guidance alongside their daily, nourishing recipes and meditation prescriptions.
Here’s a peek of one of my recipe + meditation pairing from Eat With Intention.
Taco Salad with Chili-Lime Ranch Dressing + Kundalini Meditation
“Our inner peace is powerful when it comes not only to navigate the circumstances and situations in our lives but also to shifting the energy going on around us in the world. The more of us that are at peace in our individual lives, the more peaceful people in the world and the less hatred and violence will exist. Your power when handling any situation comes from your inner peace, so I’m excited to provide you with this short and simple meditation to bring you back home in moments of frustration. One of the areas where I needed peace was in the kitchen, so I started small, making easy and accessible meals, and then slowly built up my kitchen mojo and got a little more creative.”
“PEACE BEGINS WITH ME” KUNDALINI MEDITATION
You can do this meditation sitting in easy pose or while you are standing in the checkout line at the grocery store—whenever and wherever you need
to remind yourself that peace begins with you! Close your eyes, if possible, then gently press your thumb against your index finger, followed by your middle finger, ring finger, and pinkie, repeating the mantra “Peace. Begins. With. Me.”
Touch your index finger and say, “Peace.”
Touch your middle finger and say, “Begins.”
Touch your ring finger and say, “With.”
Touch your pinkie and say, “Me.”
Breathe deeply as you say each word, and go at your own pace. Repeat this as long as needed to bring you back to a centered, peaceful mind. I find that it works wonders in just a minute or two.
