Basic Roasted Carrots

Leave peel on carrots and give them a sound scrubbing - I like to leave the slender filament on the tip - it crisps up wonderfully and adds a nice bite. Have a glass roasting pan on the ready, using your hands thoroughly rub olive oil all over your carrots and place in pan and lightly salt and pepper. Roast 20 – 30 minutes at 425 or until tender.
To serve drizzle chimichurri sauce on top of the carrots, with a small dish of sauce on the side for self-spooning!
Physical Gifts of Carrot Tops - High in vitamin A, C, K and fiber. These leafy greens support the immune system, eye health, circulation, kidney function, blood pressure, and digestion. Their taste is bitter and according to Ayurveda, this stimulates digestion and helps regulate the fire humor in the body.
Energetic Gifts of Carrot Tops - This principled vegetable offers the gift of breaking down crystalized patterns. Are you in a rut? Do you have habits or attitudes that no longer serve you? Carrot top helps dissolve these walls to allow new life in, since this can be unnerving, this plant also offers the internal support to aid in making the transformation not so startling.
Physical Gifts of Carrot Root - Antioxidants including beta-carotene, these may play a role in cancer prevention, a rich source of lutein and vitamin A, which support eye health. This nourishing plant is also purported to support brain health, liver function, and skin wellbeing from the inside out.
Energetic Gifts of Carrot Root - If you tend to over analyze, over worry, and are caught up in the "wonder ifs" to the point of personal detriment, this vegetable will balance this. It is important to be judicious when you weigh what is in front of you. Carrot offers the gift of being able to see what is an imaginary fear and what is a healthy concern.
Remember as you enjoy this dish, you reap not only the physical benefits, but the subtle ones as well!

The Physical & Energetic Gifts of Probiotic Cucumber and Avocado Soup
Probiotic Cucumber and Avocado Soup
The holidays bring so much cheer and wonderful food but not surprisingly also meals fit for a feast! Many of us indulge in foods we would not normally eat, and as much as our taste buds celebrate, often our digestive tract asks for a little extra support. I love serving this soup as a light lunch during this season for this reason.
As always, I enjoy looking at the energetic and physical properties of food and the synergy that offers:
On the energetic level - Cucumber offers, broad-spectrum relief for easing difficult emotional states (this plant can be understood as natures rescue remedy) renews and refreshes the physical body i.e. for exhaustion, illness, shock that drains prana, etcetera.
On the physical level - Cucumber health benefits includes, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, healthy weight management, detoxifying the body, alkalizing the blood, combating bad breath, supporting digestion, and controlling blood sugar level.
[image error]
On the energetic level – Avocado harmonizes the body and mind by dissolving emotional tension and the negative influence of past pain that causes one to turn inward and harden against love offered. Offers shelter when feeling overwhelmed with emotion. Avocado allows the individual to become more vulnerable to others without fear and facilitates intimacy and healing through touch.
On the physical level – Avocado contain a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals, reduces inflammation, has high amounts of soluble fiber that is known for feeding the friendly gut bacteria in your intestine, which are very important for optimal body function, supports reduced risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
[image error]
On the energetic level – Yogurt facilitates a clear, healthy mind.
On the physical level – Yogurt offers fermentation flora that inhabits the second half of the small intestine, ascending colon, and the traverse colon. Lactobacilli acidophilus is one of the most widely present germs of this flora. The role played by these germs is to facilitate the fermentation process, this includes breaking down fibrous material that makes up fruit and vegetables and releasing their nutrients, which cannot be digested solely by digestive system of human beings.
Remember when serving this soup, you are gifting not only the physical properties, but the subtle ones as well.
Recipe
[image error]
1 English cucumber
½ Ripe large avocado
2 Green onions
½ C full fat plain yogurt
½ C Buttermilk
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper
Dash or two of cayenne pepper
Dice cucumber, avocado, slice all of the white part of the green onions and 1/3 of the green leaves, place in blender (reserve the rest of the greens for a garnish). Add the yogurt, buttermilk and spices to blender and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Offer thinly sliced radishes, reserved green onion leaves mixed with chopped herbs of choice, and feta cheese, to sprinkle on top of soup. I also provide Kilauena Onyx and Molokai Red Sea Salt at the table.
......
If you would like to incorporate the subtle energy of these plants beyond what you can eat in a day! I have created vibrational essences to support your process.

Whispering Winds Flower & Vibrational Essence Venus Retrograde Sale
Venus Retrograde Sale
I am a big fan of planetary retrogrades (I happen to have Venus retrograde in my natal chart) for the opportunities they proffer us, to examine self-deeply, and see what needs to be adjusted to allow one to be more fulfilled.
[image error]
"Venus, the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and self-worth, will go retrograde in the sign of Scorpio and then Libra starting on October 5, 2018. During Venus Retrograde we're called to reevaluate and reflect on our personal values, our relationships (which also includes the relationship we have with ourselves), and the things that bring us pleasure and fulfillment. Essentially, Venus wants us to ask ourselves: [What] is it worth it?
With Venus beginning her retrograde through passionate Scorpio (Oct 5-31), we will be called to reexamine our definition of intimacy, review shared resources with a partner, and reconnect to our deepest desires. With Venus Retrograde in Libra (Oct 31-Nov 16), we're asked to reevaluate our relationships and the way in which we connect and partner with others." - Mecca Woods
The energy this will bring forward will be different for everyone, making a "one size fit all" vibrational remedy difficult to make.

Palden Lhamo Vibrational Essence
[image error]
Palden Lhamo vibrational essence. Normally $18. Now $16
In the Buddhist pantheon, Palden Lhamo is a wrathful deity, a fierce and powerful Dark Goddess, one of the Eight Guardians of the Law (Dharma), and the only female among them. A wrathful deity in the Buddhist tradition is typically a manifestation of its peaceful counterpart, and as such, Palden Lhamo is the wrathful counterpart to the peaceful White Tara.
In The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra, Rob Preece describes Palden Lhamo as such:
She is a ferocious-looking crone, a wild and terrible demoness, riding a mule across an ocean of blood. She is the queen of witches and spirits, bringing them under her power. She scatters vile diseases on those who disregard her, or who act in ways that are malignant to the Dharma. She bestows psychic powers such as clairvoyance and a knowledge of healing. …Palden Lhamo has a lunar link, with her hair adorned by a moon, as though she is…the dark moon. This dark side of the feminine can clearly be seen as a Shadow to the light lunar forms, which White Tara most closely embodies. (2006, p. 191)
Preece goes on to say:
Thus, in all deities, a dual nature is evident; light and dark, upper world and underworld, peaceful and wrathful. The forces of the Shadow are not inherently demonic and terrible. Light and dark, good and evil, creation and destruction are relative dualities that have no ultimate true nature. They are not absolutes. It is our ignorance and lack of insight that seeks out one and fears the other.
The forces of the Shadow become demonic because they are not given appropriate recognition, conscious understanding, or respect. …In the East, the dark side of reality, with its potency, wildness, and destructiveness, is given the due respect it requires and placed in the temple as the wrathful deity, the bringer of wisdom and light. (2006, pp. 191-2)
Palden Lhamo embodies the very important flip side of White Tara’s energy. Palden Lhamo is the crone, the dark goddess, and the wildness within. She is depicted riding her mule across a sea of menstrual blood, carrying bags of disease tied to her saddle. This is significant because, if unacknowledged, the dark side of our nature fosters neuroses and disease.
She also tethers her Mo dice, a Tibetan divination system that speaks to understanding emptiness and that each moment is connected to the moment before. We are always empowered to change our lives and destinies.
She teaches the value of the deep feminine gifts of healing, clairvoyance, and the death/rebirth forces of the dark moon. Palden Lhamo is ready to help you root out, recognize, and transform the deepest, most disturbing aspects of self. She protects us from harm inflicted not only by others, but also by ourselves.
The sun shines from her navel, her hair is adorned with a crescent moon-peacock feather jewel, and she is shaded by a peacock feather fan. She is led through flames by Makaravaktra, the makara-headed dakini, while the lion-headed dakini Simhavaktra follows behind. The sea of boiling blood (fire within/passion), the corpses (symbolic of dying to the old), and entrails (our most visceral places) are not associated with offerings to appease her but illuminate some of her gifts. Her ultimate nature is as a protector of the way of compassion to self and others.
Key Energies:
* Understanding the concept of emptiness and how to use each moment to its fullest to create your reality
* Cultivate being clairvoyance, clairaudient, knowledge of healing, and other psychic skills
* Energetic Protection from negative forces (within and without)
* Having the energy to take hold of your life and make changes
* Understanding the Dark Goddess and all this energy holds
* Being empowered and only answering to self or energies that are kind and supportive
* Use before any divination rites
* Deep wisdom. Palden Lhamo is the personification of Ether or the void (some people call it the akashic record) her energy allows you access information out of space and time that is beyond your human experience
* Access to work with ones shadow side - that is normally hidden from ones own view
* Understanding duality and how one embodies this energy and how to work with this gift
* Waking up from a 'sleep' state and seeing reality as it is
* Working with the energy of the Dark Moon and all this vibration holds

Curious Why Kale is the Sweetheart of the Yoga, Meditation & Ancient Philosophy Set?
Kale is one of the most nutritionally important vegetables in the world offering vitamins A, K, C, B1, B2, B3, B6 and possessing one of the highest levels of lutein of all vegetables. Lutein is invaluable when it comes to eye health as it guards against cataracts and macular degeneration. A fascinating aspect is - lutein is a strong contributor in forming the yellow pigment of the retina, which absorbs blue light a harmful component of sunlight. Lutein also helps protect against clogging of the carotid arteries in the neck, an indication of atherosclerosis, the disease that leads to most heart attacks.
[image error]
Other health benefits of Kale include:
. Total body detoxification
. Anti-oxidant support
. Helps manage diabetes
. Supports weight loss
. Treats anemia
Kale is a descendent of wild cabbage and has been grown and been eaten for nearly 4,000 years. It is a very hearty plant that fairs well in cold that keeps growing after several frosts. It can survive when temperatures fall 10 below zero Fahrenheit, allowing one to pick the leaves as needed throughout winter. Many scientists posit that we experienced much colder temperatures from 1300 to 1850; it becomes evident why such a robust nutrient dense plant has played such an import role throughout the ages.
Other than its amazing health benefits, let’s take a look at why kale is the sweetheart of the yoga, meditation and ancient philosophy set. On a vibrational level this plant firmly supports their process!
Kale – Offers instruction in ‘remembrance,’ passing on skills, wisdom and ancestral knowledge. Also teaches one how to use this information in new ways. This is a combination of being a receptive and porous student, gleaning family history, your own cellular remembering and finally offering the information and understanding you have collated together: the proper wheel of life.
An aspect of this is being able to clearly articulate your thoughts, being a receptive listener, fruitful debates of ideas and exploring these concepts with others. These qualities together make for a very good teacher and student indeed!
Here is a delightful and easy way to bring the gifts of Kale into your life
Braised Kale and White Beans
[image error]
4 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 cloves of garlic sliced thinly
2 pinches of red pepper flakes
1 bunch kale
1 cup canned white beans drained and rinsed
1 lemon cut into wedges
Prepare your kale by ripping the leaves from the stalk, break into bite size pieces, then snap the stalk into1 inch pieces.
In a large fry pan over medium heat, warm 2 tbsp of olive oil, kale stalks, pinch of red pepper and squeeze of lemon and sauté 3-5 minutes. Add remaining items and a squeeze of lemon, ½ water or broth, bring to a simmer, cover and braise until kale is tender and the liquid is thickened about 5 - 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, drizzle with olive oil, serve with the remaining lemon wedges.
As you enjoy this meal remember you are receiving both the subtle and physical gifts of this remarkable plant.
If you would like to work with the subtle energy of Kale more than you can incorporate into your diet, I have made a beautiful Kale Vibrational Essence
Normally $18. Now $16

The Energetic and Health Benefits of Safflower Oil
The safflower plant shines bright like the sun – resembling a thistle with tufted flowers in brilliant – yellows, oranges, and reds.
[image error]
try our safflower flower essence to work with the subtle energy of this plant
Normally $18. Now $16
Or as a base oil for your essential oil blends
Each flower produces 15 – 20 seeds, white, shiny, and smooth; it is from these seeds the oil is produced. This plant has been cultivated for over 4,000 years due to the myriad of health benefits. A few of these include:
* Omega 6 and 3 for cardiovascular, brain health, and managing blood sugar, also aids in weight loss as Omega 6 encourages the body to burn fat rather than store it
*Oleic acid stimulates blood flow to the scalp, encouraging healthy nourished hair
*Linoleic acid found in the Safflower oil is known to regulate the prostaglandins. The prostaglandins cause hormonal fluctuation and symptoms in your body, thus helping to relieve symptoms of PMS and regulate menstrual cycles
* The overall synergetic effect of Safflower is purported to support a full body anti-inflammatory response and support immune health.
Since I specialize in the energetic properties of food, I would love to share some of the subtle benefits from eating Safflower oil:
Key Energies: Knowledge. Consciousness. Synthesis. Spiritual Empowerment.
Safflower - encourages us to stand on our own two feet, to recognize and utilize ones own wisdom, to depend on personal strength, to acknowledge and work with ones own good qualities, using these as stepping stones to improve the less good.
At the same time to have the wisdom to know when you need help, to see and make the connections, that will support and aid you. This not only applies the mundane world, this plant has a special connection to the solar creative life force that supports serendipitous events.
You may want to incorporate this oil into your diet, to usher the anticipation of miracles in, movement into the light, taking action, passing on blessings and service given from a place of strength.
Safflower Oil in Cooking
[image error]
There are two very different Safflower oils (although both are light with a mild flavor). The monounsaturated oil has a very high smoke point—which makes it ideal for high-heat cooking.
The second type of safflower oil is polyunsaturated. This type, should not be heated, making it a great choice for salad dressings and sauces.
Ayurveda deems this oil beneficial for both the Vata and Pitta dosha type. True to the Sanskrit term sneha which means both “fat” and “lavish love”, this oil from a Vedic perspective provides the gifts of being: Warming, lubricating, fortifies the whole system, builds tissues, soothe bodily membranes, and activates the digestive fires.
Savory Carrot and Oat Puree
3 carrots chopped into large chunks
¼ c rolled oats
½ c water
2 garlic cloves
2 tbs safflower oil
1 tbs lemon juice
½ tsp salt
¼ black pepper
In a small saucepan cook rolled oats in water over medium heat until sticky. Blanch carrots chunks and drain. Add the carrots, garlic, safflower oil, lemon juice, cooked oats, salt and pepper with a splash of water to a blender and combine until smooth.
Of course these are only guide lines. Adjust garlic, lemon, salt and pepper to taste.
This makes for a delightful side dish that supports not only the subtle gifts listed above but all the health giving properties this wonderful oil offers.

The Miracle of Garlic
Garlic is almost transcendent defying being categorized. Is it an herb? A spice? A vegetable? It is even more romantic - it is a member of the lily family - Allium botanical group. This plant has been found in Pharaoh’s Tutu Kaman tomb, was placed by the ancient Greeks on the piles of stones at cross-roads, as a supper for Hecate -- a goddess of the wilderness and childbirth, or for protection from demons. Garlic was believed to confuse the evil spirits and cause them to lose their way. And has played a role in mythology of keeping users safe from malevolent forces even up to keeping vampires and werewolves at bay.
Whispering Winds Garlic Vibrational Essence normally $18 now $16
[image error]
This is an interesting segue into looking at the vibrational signature of garlic:
"Garlic plays a major role in most cultures cuisine and no wonder, this noble bulb brings the energy of: affirming the divine light that dwells in your core, and using this inexhaustible source to warm your soul and in this light, you are protected from malevolent forces and able to protect others.
Garlic also offers the gift of respecting the freedom of those you love, teaching by example and holding space for others to find their way with out pushing them along before they are ready."
The very nature of garlic is pure light and is one of the healthiest foods on earth with many health giving properties - anti blood coagulation, antioxidant, antiviral, antimicrobial, lowers cholesterol, anticancer properties and helps fight the common cold. Also, contains many trace minerals which are important for normal functioning of our metabolism, among them are copper, iron, magnesium, germanium, zinc and selenium.
Another benefit of garlic is it helps regulate the body’s blood pressure. So whether you have problems with low or high blood pressure, garlic can help equalize it.
Garlic contains many trace minerals which are important for normal functioning of our metabolism. Among them are copper, iron, magnesium, germanium, zinc and selenium.
Garlic contains Vitamins A and C, fiber and various amino acids.
According to Ayurveda the energy of this plant is spicy/hot and affects the lungs, kidney, spleen, stomach and colon as a tonic (helps to restore, tone and invigorate systems in the body or to promote general health and well-being). Maybe used for balancing Vata and Kapha doshas.
Remember incorporating garlic into your diet or using as a vibrational essence brings all gifts listed into your life on both a physical and energetic level.
Whole Roasted Garlic

1 – 3 heads of garlic. Peel (most of) the paper off the garlic, the loose, papery, outer layers around the head of garlic. Leave the head itself intact with all the cloves connected.
Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the head of garlic to expose the tops of the garlic cloves.
Preheat oven to 325 and place garlic in a small baking dish, drizzle exposed tops with 1 to 2 teaspoon of olive (you may sprinkle with herbs like rosemary or thyme) for additional depth of flavor. Cover with tinfoil and bake for 35 – 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, when cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic from their coverings, crush cloves to desired texture add olive oil to taste. A pinch or two of sea salt is optional. Try serving as a spread for rustic bread.

The difference between herbs and spices is where they are obtained from a plant. Herbs come from the leafy and green part of the plant. Spices are parts of the plant other than the leafy bit such as the root, stem, bulb, bark or seeds.

Welcome and Happy Holiday!

"Something indomitable can't be beat. People described as having indomitable spirits don't need pep talks or protein shakes; their strength comes from within.
The adjective indomitable starts with the Latin prefix in, which means "not." The second part of the word is also from the Latin word domitare, meaning "to tame." So the word literally means "not able to be tamed." Indomitable is often teamed with the words spirit or personality to describe someone with a can-do attitude." 1
