Vegetarian recipe : Miso soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:56:47 +0100

Ingredients (for about 3 persons) :

- 1/2 small onion
- a small teaspoon of oil, sesame or sunflower (avoid olive oil, it would make the taste strange)
- one clove of garlic, thinly minced
- 1/2 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 carrot, thinly diced
- a few slices of courgette, thinly diced
- 50 g of Chinese mushrooms (if they're dried, keep the rehydration water to add to the soup)
- 3 tablespoons of fresh miso, dissolved in about a glass of hot water
- 500 ml water
- a few grams of tofu, to taste, diced.

Heat your oil up in a saucepan and fry your onion and garlic for a few minutes, then, add all the veggies and tofu. Let them fry a bit, make sure you stir once in a while, to blend the tastes, so that the tofu doesn't taste too neutral. If needed, slowly add dissolved miso to the mix, in order to not let the bottom of your pan burn with your veggies.
After a few minutes, add the rest of the dissolved miso and water. Heat up, but do not let the mixture boil. Serve in Chinese looking bowls, with a dash of fresh herbs on top for decoration, and voilà ! Bon appétit :)

On transitioning to being vegetarian : over a month !

On consciousness...

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:34:27 +0100

As some of you already know, I had a major shift in my life recently. I have tried to go towards a healthier living and since then, I have paid a lot more attention to everything around me, I've begun reading a lot more than I used to, I've changed my views on spirituality and I've started meditating. In other words, I have tried to be more open-minded. This has brought to me the need of looking into consciousness, and this, in everything that I now do.

Living in consciousness means paying attention to every little detail in the way you live. It means living in accordance and in the respect of your beliefs and of life itself. In other words, it is paying more attention to the outcome of your actions, as every step you take will have a reaction resulting out of it. Every choice matters and has a lot more repercussions in your life than you may think.

If you adopt consciousness, it will turn your life around for the better and you won't ever be the same again. So you might wonder what it might do for you today ? Well, living more in accordance with your choices means that you will pay more respect to the world around you, as you will bring more attention to the things you do, and what they will bring in turn, it means you will think about every single consequence of any decision you take.
Can you imagine having a life with way less trouble, a lot more harmony and a better mental ? This is what consciousness can do for you.

So, how can you get there then ? As I've said before, it is all about paying attention to little details. Many of us tend to act without thinking or very little of it. This is all about doing it the other way around : think before acting. What is the decision you are taking today going to bring you in the long term ? Is it going to affect others ? What could be other effects the decision will have, on what, on whom, how ? Is there any better way to go about with it ? ... and so on.

If every single one of us took a little bit more time and reflection in our decision making process, there would be more thinking given to the consequences and we could give the environment and other current important issues more thought. Earth could become a better place quicker as people would be more conscious about their choices and decision making, about the way they would treat nature, the world around them or even one another.

Can you imagine living in such a world ? What a pleasant place this could be ? Well this is still quite utopia right now but we all have the power to bring such a place into our own reality, if we are willing to make the efforts this would ask from us... Think about it, and give it at least a try for a week or so, go all the way out of your comfort zone, and see what conscious living does for you !

Good new resolutions for 2010...
