As you read this, feel the flow of energy moving through you in the present moment.
Beginning at the top of your head, at your 7th chakra, imagine a brilliant disc of violet light, spinning slowly at first. With each breath, feel it picking up speed, growing brighter and more vibrant. As it spins, the light intensifies, clearing away any lingering thoughts or energy that no longer serve you.
Now, move your attention down to your 6th chakra, behind your forehead- your Third Eye. See it glowing indigo, spinning faster as it opens to clarity and insight. With every turn, it becomes brighter, casting away confusion or doubt. Let this light expand through your mind, sharpening your focus and intuition.
Next, bring your awareness to your 5th chakra, the Throat. Visualize it as a bright blue light, spinning freely with ease. With every rotation, the light grows stronger, clearing any blockages in communication or self-expression. Let your voice flow with truth, confidence, and clarity.
Move down to your 4th chakra, the Heart. See it as a radiant green light, spinning with love, compassion, and healing energy. As it spins, it grows brighter, filling your chest with warmth and unconditional love. Imagine old hurts or heavy energy dissolving, replaced with lightness and peace.
Now, focus on your 3rd chakra, the Solar Plexus. Imagine a golden yellow light spinning, becoming brighter with every breath. As it spins, it awakens your inner strength, your willpower, and your sense of self-worth. Feel the brightening light clearing any doubts or fears, empowering you with confidence.
Moving down to your 2nd chakra, the Sacral, visualize an orange light spinning within your lower belly. See it glowing brighter with each breath, clearing any stuck energy, bringing creativity, passion, and flow. Let this light awaken your connection to your emotions, your desires, and your creative power.
Finally, reach your 1st chakra, the Root, at the base of your spine. See it as a red light spinning steadily, grounding you to the earth. As it spins, the light grows brighter and more powerful, clearing any fears of instability or disconnection. Feel your body anchored, safe, and fully supported.
As you continue to breathe naturally, feel all seven chakras aligned, spinning freely and brightly. Notice your hands and feet have chakras as well and let those spin and radiate light. You are fully grounded, balanced, and radiating light from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Welcome back to Kitchen Adventures with Joy! I have lost track of how many weeks I've been sharing these now ~ I only know that I missed last week.
Well, last weekend was a lot. Juggling energy work during an online retreat with family that is not spiritual at all and so very mired in the 3d that it's sometimes as if we're living in different worlds.
Which, in a way, we are. It's a very different midnset, a different vocabulary at times. And translating can be fun, but also tiring.
And so there were no kitchen adventures last week.
But! I've had this entire weekend for myself! Four days of just me, myself, and I.
... and my weekly delivery of fruit and veggies, a whole lot of ideas, and best of all: the time to actually do something with these ideas!
Yeah, I am so not overbooking myself like that again.
But as I said, this weekend there was the space, and so, the creating happened. And I actually feel refreshed, my head is clearer, I am more present.
... though that might also actually be due to the fact that I caught up on sleep.
So! Let's dive into what amazing things were created in the tiny kitchen this week!
(It's all good stuff!)
Starting with:
Beetroot dahl, extended edition. Like, this is my standard beetroot dahl recipe ~ only, of course, it's not standard at all, because I use Tandoori masala spice, instead of garam masala, and also never leek, because I don't have leek but a surplus of onions.
So, okay. It's MY standard beetroot dahl, in that it's never standard and always changing.
This week's extended edition has carrot, potato, and aubergine on top of the beetroot.
And, like. This just keeps getting better? It's almost, it doesn't matter, WHAT I put in there, it's just ... gloriously nommy and should be part of everyone's week, it's so good.
Yeah. Beetroot dahl, folks. Make it.
This one was then followed by my applesauce almost-live-cooking thing. Here's what the result looks like:
Here we have:
one green apple, chopped up small
three teaspoons coconut joghurt
three teaspoons applecause
and a plum chopped up small on top
Very autumn-y and just, so good. Seriously. Sometimes food can be, like, this asbolutel flavour explosion in your mouth, and you wonder why you're ever doing anything else but eating.
Or maybe that's just me.
Cooked at the same time as the applesauce was this:
I'm calling this Back to the Roots: bunch of root veggies (plus have of a giant aubergine) and white beans. Chopped up small, cooked together for twenty minutes until soft.
Seasoning is a bit all over the place for this one, I couldn't quite figure out what it wanted. So: salt, pepper, some rosemary, and a spice-mix for heat.
Might need some tomato sauce/passata/tinned tomatoes. Haven't decided yet. But it's nice with the rosemary. :-)
Again, very autumn-y. Also: super dense, gets you back down to earth in, like, half a bowl.
So, if you're feeling floaty and ungrounded? Or have energy moving at a speed you can't keep up with? This will get you grounded and centred.
Enjoy. :-)
And because the box had cucumbers:
Mildly viral cucumber salad: One cucumber, sliced, with a dressing made from crunchy cashew butter, tamari, rice vinegar, lemon juice, and a teaspoon of chili paste.
... I'm really getting into putting chili paste into everything, why is the little jar almost empty, oh noes, tragedy...
Oh, and because there was another cucumber, also radish and carrots and I needed a protein dish:
Accidentally creamy lentil salad. Was not intended to be creamy, but then I used up the last of the (vegan) mayonaise I had in the fridge, and now it is. Verrry nice.
Also there is this, which turned out A MILLION TIMES MORE NOMMY THAN EXPECTED
This is, like, Asian-Joyous fusion:
1/2 cabbage, three small carrots, half a giant aubergine sliced thinly and baked in the oven for 20 minutes at about 195°C
stirred together with a package of glassnoodles
with a dressing made of peanut butter, 4 tablespoons tamari, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, lemon juice, a little bit of chili paste, some ginger juice
Yeah, I know these measurements are super vague and unhelpful, I simply kept adding liquids until the peanut butter dissolved entirely and the whole thing was creamy-but-not-too-thick.
And the poured into the veggies-noodles mix and stirred together using both a fork and a spoon (and then a rag, to clean up the mess I'd made).
This is SO GOOD. Like. I want to eat the whole pot and I don't care I'll have a stomach ache afterwards kind of good.
... I'm also being very good, in that I have only-slightly-bigger-than-usual servings.
... also getting hungry talking about this AAHHHHH ...
But wait! There is more?
Yes, just without picture, because I tried a gluten free bread made from polenta ~ and in the process discovered the food moths haf got into the sunflower seeds AND the sesame seeds, little bastards ~ and the bread is still cooling.
... first nibbles point to this is something yummy to be repeated though ...
Uh, and yeah. That's it for Kitchen Adventures this week!
I still have an unidentifiable veggie ~ might be a melon, might be a yellow zucchini or a type of pumpkin, who knows! I don't! ~ and a couple of carrots, so ...
Have you ever considered what is standing in your way and what are your blocks to abundance?
Sometimes our fields can be an energetic mess which needs to be decluttered, reprogrammed and cleared so that we are able to elevate ourselves towards complete abundance.
Abundance is around you all of the time, the only thing standing between you and your highest timeline of abundance is you and the blocks and distortions in your own field.
The ironic thing is, the potential was always there, we just got in our own way…..
Every block or distortion is an extension of our field and an extension of us, it always begins and ends with us, so by doing the right work,
we can step aside and allow the abundance to rain into our lives and we begin to live to our divine potential.
Piece I'm working on. Currently experimenting with crackle texture. Shades of green radiating energy. Hopefully will finish this one soon! How does the color green make you feel? . . . . #radiating #crackleglaze #crackle #texturepainting #texture #wipart #wip #workinprogress #colorgreen #colormood #lcole #toyastales #energyworker https://www.instagram.com/p/CRg-vE3HcuP/?utm_medium=tumblr
reminder: if youre aaking someone to do energy work for you in any way, please be patient! they may be doing it for a lot of people, and that can be exhausting. its also important to separate energy work with a bit of time to not mix the results. thank you guys!!❤️
