"Wakan Tanka, Great Mystery,
teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun."
Lakota Prayer
Today, I welcome you to sit with the two paths that have emerged for all of humanity. We have a destination on one of those paths and limited space to change our mind. There is no need to worry. This is an opportunity to let go, trust and deepen your inner and outer faith in all that is and is not. As you create the space to receive this dharma teaching and sit with the silence and sound, I give thanks for you being here.
As inspired, ground in your heart, clear your mind and weave for the benefit of all.
Weekly talks are an offering to assist you in diving deeper into a spiritual practice, your inner landscape and cultivate inner peace.
Mind You + Food Recipe
Food plays an essential role in our lives. However, there's a lot of social pressure, shaming, and projections placed on food choices. Many of these are rooted in food and diet trends, as well as beliefs passed down through faith and spiritual practices. All of these factors can pull us away from our highest relationship with ourselves, others, and the divine, which can make mealtime confusing, especially when dining with others who have different ideas about what they want on their plate. Shaming, guilt, and projections can cause confusion and negatively impact everyone involved.
I often share with my clients and students that one size does not fit all when it comes to how we choose what to eat. It's important to have a deeper understanding of the cause and effect of our food choices and incorporate practices such as Ayurveda, Nature, and Chinese Medicine to support our well-being. It's also important to reflect on how, where, and why we learned to eat and evaluate whether our entire system is in harmony with those choices. If there is confusion or mixed feelings, it's the perfect moment to become more aligned with ourselves and the way we choose to nourish ourselves.
Lastly, if we have a tendency to pass judgment towards ourselves or others, we can reframe it into celebrating what we perceive as beneficial rather than picking apart ourselves or someone else. This simple step can make a big difference in cultivating a positive relationship with food.
