Reinvent Yourself: Art of Intuitive Eating
Winter Fruit and Veggie Wraps – Reinvent Yourself with the Art of Intuitive Eating.
Roll up as tightly as possible, and enjoy intuitively eating this healthy wrap.
Make Raw Veggie Interesting.
Keep your body biologically fed with adequate energy. Otherwise you can trigger a primal drive to overeat. Once you reach the moment of excessive hunger, all intentions of moderate, conscious eating are fleeting. Learning to honor this first biological signal sets the stage for re-building trust with yourself and food.
Make peace with your food, Give yourself unconditional love and permission to eat. If you tell yourself that you can’t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings and, often, bingeing When you finally “give-in” to your forbidden food, eating will be experienced with such intensity, and overwhelming guilt. Reinvent a new relationship with food.
Honor Your Feelings without using food to find ways to comfort , nurture, distract, and resolve your issues without using food.
Respect Your Body, Accept your genetic blueprint. Just as a person with a shoe size of eight would not expect to realistically squeeze into a size six, it is equally uncomfortable futile to have the same expectation with body size. But mostly, love your body, so you can feel better about who you are. Because guess what?
YOU are beautiful and perfect just the way you are.
Love & Light,

Home Remedies Cold/Flu
Flush out toxins. Drink lots of hot water. Ayurveda is more specific. According to this ancient healing system, hot water, is easier for the body to absorb than cold water. It pacifies the dry, cold vata dosha with its hot, hydrating properties.
At the first sign of a cold, Ayurveda suggests sipping hot water every 10 to 15 minutes for three days. According to Ayurvedic theory, ginger is one of the best remedy for colds, too. “Its pungent nature reduces the kapha dosha,” which is active during colds and produces excess mucus when it’s out of balance, recommends eating light, simple, and warm foods, particularly “clear foods”—clear broths, clear liquids (water and teas), and seasonal veggies that have some translucence.
Tulsi steam – Steam inhalation with decoction of holy basil (Tulsi) or water boiled with it. Doing it for many days will help in acute sinusitis.
Take rest – K 🙂

intuitive jan 2017
I love to create and design it is such a healthy outlet. Helpful and healing in every way. Especially on a day today.
New Year’s Eve! This is the one night of the year when society unites in a pro-drinking mentality that accepts and excuses all manner of drunken behavior (except, of course driving drunk). It is not just that excessive drinking is tolerated on this night; it is that it is encouraged and promoted. Ads on TV for sparkling wine and other assorted cocktails. Security guards and long lines appear at liquor stores and images of “happy” alcohol related celebrations decorate billboards. Bars and clubs vie for the attention of their patrons with promises of the “best” drinking environment for the most celebrated drunken spectacle of the year. What’s happening? The message is: the only way to enjoy yourself is to get drunk.
While this is in itself a disturbing suggestion that affects the whole spectrum of society – children included – it has a specific consequence for alcoholics. No one knows the dangers involved with excessive drinking better than those who suffer from alcohol addiction. The psychological motivation of the“good time” and alcohol is a driving force for many who struggle in recovery. Learning that what represents a real “good time” does not require the use of varieties of alcohol stimulants which can be a difficult lesson to absorb in sobriety. Attending parties, watching Saturday night sports, dinner with friends – these are all environments that usually involve the use of alcohol. The recovering alcoholic learns how to adjust to these environments (sometimes needing to avoid completely) and often comes to terms that life itself can still be enjoyed with a glass of sparkling water instead of wine.
But New Year’s Eve is different. The aura of superfluousness – feeding off the superfluousness of holiday indulgence. And herein lies the great danger for the alcoholic. In recovery, what estimates “unacceptable” is a drinking mentality that moves fast into self-destruction. It is not so much about how many drinks or if one drink can be “managed”. It is about a state of mind, in the mind, that is destructive to the individual who is suffering and is “triggered” by drinking alcohol to ease the pain inside. This state of mind that is “unacceptable” to the alcoholic and the encouragement at New Year’s Eve to embrace the alcohol induced behavior has a very different affect on the alcoholic than the “social” drinker. The illusion of New Year’s Eve is that it is the “exception”. It is the one night where there are no rules. For the alcoholic, when she or he is not sober, every night is the “exception”. The “exception” is the norm for the active alcoholic and the road to recovery involves a re-programming and rethinking of what incorporates the norm.
It’s a misguided idea about “Fun” on New Years Eve. And friendly reminder .. to take it one day at a time.

Find Santosha with Supta Baddha Konasana
Baddha Konasana, is one of my absolute favorite yoga poses. A lovely hip opener and the perfect pose for meditation. Practicing this pose activates the lower two chakras, Muladhara and Svadisthana, or the Root Chakra and the Sacral Chakra. The Root Chakra connects to our sense of safety and security, as well as to our sexuality. Supta Baddha Konasana can relaunch your relaxed state of mind.
Find Santosha by practicing Baddha Konasana here on yoga-talk
To Santosha,
Kelly Krishna Dunn 🙂
