How does part of the world leave the world? How can wetness leave water? Don’t try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire. Don’t wash a wound with blood. No matter how fast you run, your shadow more than keeps up. Sometimes it’s in front. Only full, overhead sun diminishes your shadow. But that shadow has been serving you. What hurts you blesses you.

Tuesday:
The musings of the mystic Sufi poet every Tuesday to support your passion, curiosity and thirst for life.

Today we will celebrate the Parsnip.

This warming root that is relative to the family supports the stomach, liver, lungs, and spleen. Boasting a good amount of calcium, just about 1/3 as much as milk the parsnip can help to balance an excess of moisture in the body.

High in and they have a small amount of vitamins A and C, and potassium, but it is the fiber that makes this pale looking carrot a superstar. 🥕🤩

Roasted, boiled or added to soups or stews are helpful in reducing both vata and pitta. You can even make some delicious mashed parsnips.

Sunlight looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall and a lot different on this other one, but it is still one light. We have borrowed these clothes, these time-and-space personalities, from a light, and when we praise, we are pouring them back in.

I hope you have been soaking in this chilly weather we have been having. After such a long hot grueling summer I am thrilled to be in sweaters and making lots of soup.

One of my favorite soups is a nice bowl of miso soup. This warming Vata pacifying bowl of liquid heaven aids in digestion, tones the blood, acts as an anti-carcinogenic, and is also a concentrated source of protein. There are also studies that show the benefits of miso reducing the negative side effects of radiation.

I love to not only use this fermented goodness as soup but I also use it to dress my steamed greens or even as a sauce for a caramelized onion with shiitake mushroom pizza.

There are several different types of miso on the market. Chickpea miso is a nice option and is a bit lighter and if you want a stronger taste you can try barley miso. How do you use ?

Happy Solstice! ⛄️

We will now move into the winter season and begin transitioning towards Kapha time of year. As the days have been becoming shorter and darker, it is a wonderful time to slow down and nourish your mind and body.

However, December usually has different ideas for most of us. Our shortened days are packed with things to do, places to be, and people to see. Oh my. All this movement can increase Vata.

The added dryness of cold weather could further lead to depletion. It is always important to have nourishing rituals in place but especially important when we are being stretched.

Depending on where and how you live, your practice will look different though the year. Awareness of the whole environment surrounding you and your constitution will guide your mission to stay embodied, present, clear, and balanced. Otherwise known as a sattvic state.

If you notice that you are feeling cold deep to your bones, frazzled, extra dry, and ungrounded, it will be time to have a nice, scalded milk (or mylk) with a touch of cinnamon and cardamom.

Consider not attending every event that you are invited to. Stay home instead and give yourself a restorative abhyanga massage with sesame oil or Vata oil. If you feel particularly overextended, try a blend of Brahmi, sesame, and bhringraj oils. Covering yourself with nourishing warm oil is a great way to calm the nervous system and find your center.

Maybe you are the type who loves life in the cooler weather. You feel your internal heat is receiving a duly needed reprieve. The cooler weather may make you want to get even more done. It is important to remember that your worth is not related to your productivity. This can be a common thought process for the fiery types. It is still essential to maintain daily devotional rituals. Don’t become too intense or take too much on. Create some space in your calendar for some relaxation and contemplation.

What are some of your winter rituals? ❄️

What is praised is one, so the praise is one too, many jugs being poured into a huge basin. All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity.

Roasting hazelnuts makes the entire house smell delicious. After they are roasted, let them cool for a bit and then rub them in a clean dishcloth to remove the skins. Hazelnuts are helpful in addressing a chronic cough and are an excellent source of calcium. These little nuggets of yumminess pacify vata.

They contain an impressive amount of Vitamins B1, B2 and B12. In the right amount, these vitamins help maintain normal cardiac rhythm, nerve functions and red blood cell production. Vitamin B also aids in efficient protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism.

A handful of hazelnuts can give the body the energy it needs to last for a day. Hazelnuts also contain a combination of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, which are the powerful source of antioxidant. These antioxidants will fight against free radicals and protect you from the signs of premature aging.
