Roasted Fall Veggies

Most of you know you should be eating more veggies.  They make up the base of the “food-pyramid”, with recommendations of 5-7 servings per-day.  In general, our American diet is composed of much too much meat.  That’s not to say that meat is bad for you, just that too much meat is bad for you.  We need to fit more veggies in our diet; and to do that, they need to be tasty.

You may also know of the suggestion to eat seasonally.  This is a great way to add a diversity of nutrients to your diet.  Energetically speaking, it helps us to get in tune with the various phases of different times of the year.  The way the food is prepared also makes a difference in how our bodies digest and utilize these energies.

With these things in mind, here is a recipe for Roasted Fall Veggies, from TCMworld.com.

Ingredients
¼ cup extra virg. Olive oil
3 medium carrots, cut to 1-inch chunks
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
2 cup fingerling potatoes, halved
3 med. Parsnips cut 1-inch chunks
1 Tbs dry thyme
1 tsp mushroom powder
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions
 Heat oven to 400 deg. F.
Grease 11×17 baking sheet with extra virg. Olive oil.
Put veggies in a bowl and add dried herbs, salt, pepper, and oil.
Toss them well.
Spread veggies evenly on a baking sheet.  Bake 40 minutes.
Serve over rice, or as a side dish.

These veggies strongly support the lungs and large intestines.  These are the organs associated with fall.  This recipe also strengthens the function of the liver, and digestive system.  Roasting is a great way to prepare foods in the fall.  It’s a good idea to make this dish a staple, served regularly during the fall season.

Crystal Bowl Sound Healing
Group Meditation

Sound healing is a form of meditation that is performed in a group where you lay on a yoga mat and let the sound transport you. 
Sound healing has many benefits including:

• reducing stress and anxiety
• improves circulation
• deepens relaxation
• increases mental & emotional clarity. 
• restores balance

Vibrational sound healing can be traced back from present-day trends to many ancient civilizations including India, Africa, Europe, and the Orient. The idea is to restore balance to the chakra system and clearing the blocked energy within ourselves. Sound healing is similar to reiki healing; It is a form of energy healing that allows your body to self-regulate and self heal.

Let the sounds vibrate through you to feel the power of self-preservation and healing.
