Super Soul Sunday with Oprah Winfrey

This past month has been one of being on the go and being away from people near and dear to me including my spiritual family. While on the road I keep tuned via Oprah’s program, Super Soul Sunday. It’s a show that I cannot recommend enough. The show is designed to help viewers awaken to their best selves and discover a deeper connection to the world around them and features conversations between Oprah and philosophers, authors, visionaries, and spiritual leaders. It presents an array of perspectives on what it means to be alive in today’s world. I’ve watched the show exploring themes and issues including happiness, personal fulfillment, spirituality and conscious living, guests who have appeared include: Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, Maya Angelou, Brené Brown, India.Arie, Wayne Dyer, Gary Zukav, Iyanla Vanzant, Marianne Williamson, Coach Phil Jackson, Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle,Diana Nyad, Sarah Ban Breathnach, and Thich Nhat Hanh.

As I said, I cannot recommend it enough.

Peace and blessings,

A new season of Super Soul Sunday begins this Sunday Sept 7th. You can also watch past shows here.

Meditative Thought – Release and Let Go

For today’s Meditative though, I am reminded by a lyric from one of my favorite Rickie Byars and Rev Michael Beckwith songs, “I Release and I Let Go”. These lyrics remind me that I need to free myself on a daily basis, sometimes even moment-to-moment, breath-to-breath.

It also reminds me that we are here for God, to be God as us. When we surrender and allow the Universe to unfold in our lives, as our lives, miracles happen. Releasing our attachment to anything but God is breaking the chains of slavery. Ask yourself, “Am I free from things that keep me in bondage, things that do not serve me any longer?” Do sex, food, drugs, alcohol, relationships, and other external vices control you? Are you free from self-sabotage, self-loathing, self-hatred?

The truth is, the Spirit can never be enslaved, hurt, damaged, or changed. The essence of God, which lives within us, is the power that frees us. Today, go within and celebrate the freedom of your Spirit. Know that you are always free in your consciousness. Freedom is a state of mind. Active your new freedom from people, places, and things and know that the only union that is required is your union with your higher self.

Vegan Recipes – Black Bean and Lime Quinoa

Skip Jennings & Gwen Keannelly

More of my recipes from my upcoming Cookbook with Gwen Kenneally. This week, Black Bean and Lima Quinoa.

Black Bean and Lime Quinoa

3 cups water or vegetable stock
Juice and zest from 3 limes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup quinoa
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 medium tomatoes, diced
4 scallions, chopped
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste

Whisk together lime zest and juice, oils, salt, pepper in a large bowl. In a medium sized pot cover the quinoa with the water or vegetable stock and bring to a boil, about 15 minutes. Cover and remove from heart and let sit until all of the water or stock is absorbed. Cut vegetables while you wait. When liquid is absorbed, fluff with a fork and toss in the bowl with the lime zest dressing and add the black beans, tomatoes, scallions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with cilantro.
Serves 4-6

The Practice: Side dish or main course, Black Bean and Lime Quinoa can be enjoyed either way. Yoga is the same, it can be your complete physical practice or it can be a side dish to a physical practice you may already have in place. You decide by using a contemplative meditation. Go within during mediation and ask the simple question “is yoga my only practice?” or “what is it that my body needs?” Once you have asked the question have faith that you will receive the answer. Self-exploration is one of the main principles of yoga; know thyself.

Foods That Fight Inflammation & Pain

Foods That Fight For those of us getting older, there are certain aches and pains that are difficult for us to get rid of.

The best way to get rid of these issues that come up is to eat well. Here are a list of some foods that you should be eating to help fight aches and pains.

Cherries
Edamame
Almonds
Yogurt
Mint
Ginger
Coffee (believe it or not)
Hot peppers

Wednesday Spiritual Journal Assignment – Summer of 2014

Summer is still blazing, but we’re nearing the end which means we bring into mind our plans for the fall. We think about all the wonderful times that we’ve had with family and friends, the goals we met, new relationships we’ve created and what is to come. Each season comes and goes with grace, elegance and poise–as we should.

Summer blossoms and brings with it the tastes of new beginnings, with its closing we nurture those beginnings and tend to them all year long. I invite you to journal with me and remember all those wonderful things that you had the chance to experience and with whom. Take a moment to think of all that you are grateful for this summer. Think of all that you have accomplished. Now, live in that present moment of gratitude and joy. Remember what this feels like, being surrounded by joy–here you’ll find peace.

Start slowly and gradually increase the speed. While practicing Butterfly Pose, create a mantra or chant that states you are whole and renewed. “I am whole, renewed and complete now.”
