Vegan salad

17 Oct 2018

It has been a while since I have not posted any of my recipes. I wanted to start with a vegan dish in order to pinpoint the importance of going vegan once per day or per week to cleanse the body.

Needless to say that your veggies should be organic to benefit from their vitamins and minerals without pesticides poisoning your system.

Ingredients:

organic white beans

organic zucchini

organic tomatoes

cumin

olive oil

himalayan salt

lemon juice

Soak your beans overnight with 1/2 tsp of baking soda

Boil twice by changing the water to limit bloating.

Cut zucchinis in thin slices and grill

Mix lemon juice,cumin,salt and olive oil with your beans

and serve!

Guided Meditation Classes

The purpose of meditation is to establish within and to handle yourself properly through wisdom and clarity. Being true to yourself is a key point for stability.
Meditation happens through Self realization or introspection which involves the union of the 3 minds ;the lower, middle and higher mind to reach consciousness (no mind). We are drawn by 4 instincts : the desire to eat and discover new things,the desire to sleep,fear/insecurity and pleasure.The ultimate goal of meditation is to understand the tricks of your mind in order to balance all 4 instincts through the union of mind,body and spirit.

I will be helping you through guided meditation to overcome any obstacles that were stopping you from achieving your goals. Obstacles such as food addiction, low self esteem,migraines,digestion problems,lack of focus,depression…

Guided meditation:

1- Yoga Nidra:

pancha-maya-kosha Yoga nidra or yogic sleep is a very powerful meditation technique and one of the easiest yoga practice to develop and maintain.

While the practitioner lies comfortably in savasana,this systematic meditation takes you through the five layers of self or pancha maya kosha leaving you with a sense of wholeness.

Yoga nidra is a simple way to reduce stress through the stages of body scan and breath awareness ,it also works on releasing long-held emotions and come face to face with what you want to overcome . A Sankalpa* is taken at the beginning of meditation which will help you reach your ultimate goal.Through regular yoga nidra practices you will be able to work on many obstacles (food addiction,poor body image,smoking) that were preventing your wellbeing.

*Sankalpa (Sanskrit: संकल्प) means an intention formed by the heart and mind — a solemn vow, determination, or will. In practical terms a Sankalpa means a one-pointed resolve to focus both psychologically and philosophically on a specific goal.

2-Antar mouna meditation:

Antar mouna is a Sanskrit term that means “inner silence.” It refers to a yogic meditation technique that involves transforming and controlling thought processes through self-awareness and mindfulness. By internalizing the senses through this form of meditation, the yogi observes the inner and underlying structure of the mind and thought processes.

Stages of Antar Mouna meditation

Becoming aware of external sensory perceptions.
Gaining awareness of spontaneous thoughts.
Creating and disposing of thoughts.
Refined awareness and disposal of spontaneous thoughts.
Creating a state in which there are no thoughts.
Awareness of inner peace or a stage of thoughtlessness
Externalization

3- Chakra meditation:

chakra-meditation

There are seven chakras, or major energy centers, in the human body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word which means “wheel”.

They are centers of force located within your body, through which you receive, transmit, and process life energies.

Each chakra is recognized as a focal point relating to spiritual, physical and emotional energies. The chakras are the network through which your mind, body, and spirit interact as one system.

Each has a corresponding relationship to one of the various glands of the body’s endocrine system, as well as to one of the seven colors of the rainbow spectrum.

The main purpose in working with the chakras is to create wholeness within yourself. In this way, you bring the various aspects of your consciousness from the physical to the spiritual, into a harmonious relationship.

Ultimately, you will begin to recognize that the various aspects of your being all work together, and that each aspect is as much a part of the whole as the others. A big part of meditation is learning how to acknowledge, integrate, and accept all levels of your being.

Pregnancy is a challenging phase in life,staying fit helps a lot in balancing the fluctuating hormones and the overall health of a mom to be easing up the delivery process (unless any medical complication does not allow you to exercise).

Prenatal Yoga is a maintenance practice. We are tuning to the intuitive body by moving beyond the ego and the fluctuations of the mind or chitta vritti into true intelligence or buddhi.

In a prenatal yoga class we are asked “to be ourselves” rather than “a better version of ourselves”.

Private and group packages are available:

Private packages :

Individual classes (1hour ): 80 dollars/class

5 classes package: 350 dollars

10 classes package : 700 dollars

Group packages:

2 persons :50 dollars/person
