Chakravibe’s favorite recipes which we’d like to share with you!

” Raw Almond Paté “

This raw almond paté is one of my favorite recipes and something I make on a regular basis. Paté keeps in the fridge up to 4 or 5 days in an air tight container.  It’s a nice  alternative to pack for lunches or have as a snack. Definitely a big hit at  dinner parties  served as a dip with celery, carrots,  fennel and crackers. Of course there is an alchemy to  mixing the ingredients,  here is the basic recipe which you can modify to your personal taste.  Enjoy!

“Ingredients use fresh organic “

1 cup of raw almonds

juice of 1 lemon

1 clove of garlic

pinch of salt

1 quarter to half cup of red onion

1 stalk of celery or more

1 quarter cup of parsley

1 tbs spoon or more (to taste) of olive oil

1 to 2 tbs spoon of tahini to taste

1 tsp dried dill or 1 or 2 tbs of fresh dill

“Soaking your Almonds” First step is to place raw almonds in a mason jar with water.  Refrigerate  2 to 3 days,  change and rinse the water daily. Almonds will sprout or get little nub-lies after 2 to 3 days, strain and after final rinse, you’re ready for the next step.

” Almond therapy ” Great time to Zen out and remove almond skins. Some people may call it tedious or prefer to leave skins on,  it’s  you’re personal preference.

“Prep lemon mixture and veggies” In a blender mix lemon juice,  garlic,  olive oil,  and salt.  Blend to creamy consistency. Mince by hand  or use  food processor for the  red onions, celery, parsley and fresh dill.

“Use a hand mixer  or food processor “ If you’re using a hand mixer, place almonds in a deep bowl (avoids almond bits spraying).  Add your lemon mixture and  tahini.  Blend to a smooth paté consistency,  add a tbs  or more of water for nice creamy texture. Using a food processor, pulse  almond mixture, gradually add lemon mixture and  tahini , water as required for a creamy paste.

” Final stage; minced veggies”  Now that your almond paste is a nice creamy consistency, stir in minced red onions, celery,  parsley, add  dried dill, or chopped fresh dill.  Use a spatula to turn over and mix all the ingredients.  At this point have a taste and tweak  to your pallet.  Keep in mind, that after a few hours or day of refrigeration, the flavors are a little stronger. Hope you love it as much as we do!

Starting at the base chakra, shooting roots to the earth, moving energy upwards to the crown chakra, expanding toward the heavens.  A half hour of bliss, feeling centered, balanced and energized.  I had the pleasure of meeting Anodea and expressed how much I enjoyed the meditation.  We exchanged chakra gifts; Anodea Judith’s new award-winning animated DVD, “The Illuminated Chakras” for a beautiful “Chakravibe “7 Chakra Bracelet“.

Anodea Judith is a world renowned expert on the Chakra system and mind body integration.  She is the author of several books and audio products.  The two books which I consider my chakra bibles are “Wheels of Life: A User’s Guide to the Chakra System” and  “The Sevenfold Journey”, to read more

“Your Brain on Bliss “ What is happiness, and how can we achieve it? This is Your Brain on Bliss: Matthieu Ricard reveals After 2,000 years of practice, Buddhist monks know that one secret to happiness is simply to put your mind to it.

Authentic happiness is a way of being and a skill to be cultivated. When we first begin, the mind is vulnerable and untamed, like that of a monkey or a restless child. It takes practice to gain inner peace, inner strength, altruistic love, forbearance, and other qualities that lead to authentic happiness. ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama read more

Finding happiness, balance and inner peace is something that we all stride for. I believe that practicing yoga and meditation are vehicles that can help along the path. Daily practice allows us to use the breath to claim the mind, turn our energy inward, bring our focus to being present and in the moment.

Settle down that untamed monkey or restless child.
