Gulf of Mexico Prayer!



Dr. Masaru Emoto, the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water and how, among other things, water physically responds to emotions, has proposed a prayer for the Gulf situation.

Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emoto, himself, has proposed.
"I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton's, corals, algae and all living creatures.....I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you."

We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily...multiple times daily....can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.

We don't have to know how......we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today.

Vegetarian Lentil Soup

I like to go on soup kicks and for some reason in June it has been realllllly cold at night. Lentil soup has always hit my spot of comfort healthy. I love meat but I also love really good vegetarian, what I have problems with is I don't like most veggie broths out there on the market shelves. I went to the kitchen and this is what I came up with.

Vegetarian Lentil Soup

I literally chop & toss....even the onions don't always have off their skin
Broth:
fill a stock pot with spring water
Blentec 1 red pepper....or puree it
Quarter 3 boiler onions or yellow
add 4 carrots w/skin
whole head of celery leaves and all
chopped mushrooms
1 large russet chopped with skin on
1/2 Thai chili chopped
sea salt & ground pepper to taste
4 bay leaves
1 tsp of thyme leaves
boil for 45 mins….simmer for 30 mins let cool on stove for 1 hour or so……pull out all chunky stuff & I like to feed this to my dogs…of course all dogs are different
go through it with a hand held strainer but I like the pepper & potato pulp left in my broth if it’s for lentil soup.


Toss in order……
5 cups vegetable broth
1 cup dry lentils that have been washed
1 onion, diced
1 large russet, I rough peel it but leave about 50% of the skin on, chop in nice size cubes
1-2 celery sliced
1 carrot sliced
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
boil for about 45 mins or until lentils get soft
