Sunday Inspo: The Law of Pure Potentiality

Take a Moment 


Law of Pure Potentiality: The source of all creation is pure consciousness. Pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. And when we realize that our true Self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in nature.  
I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:
  1. I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent, to just Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the evening.
  2. I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. I will sit silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the sound of the ocean or a stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of my own silence, and by communing with nature, I will enjoy the life throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.
  3. I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, "Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs", and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge. source

No Bake Oatmeal Granola Bar

Clean Eating Made Easy
Try this new and healthy recipe for a great snack! It's easy, fun and absolutely delicious. 

Enjoy! 



ngredients:

  • 2 cups (200 g) Arrowhead Mills Old Fashion Oats
  • 1/2 cup (70 g) dried cranberries, fruit juice sweetened
  • 1/3 cup (50 g) raw cocoa nibs
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
  • 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (200 g) raw, creamy almond butter



Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, cranberries, cocoa nibs and cinnamon. Stir well.
  2. In a small pot, combine the oil, honey, vanilla extract and almond butter over medium heat. You want to warm this enough to combine the liquids well. But DO NOT BOIL!  Stir constantly to avoid any simmering. This warmth is strictly to get everything to combine as well as to make it a bit more fluid for mixing with the oats.
  3. Pour the nut butter into the mixing bowl and mix well to completely coat the oats.
  4. Press mixture into an oiled or parchment lined baking dish. (Mine -pictured above- was 9 x 4 1/2)
  5. Freeze for 2 hours.
  6. Cut bars with a sharp knife and store in the freezer for up to 2 months, tightly wrapped so no air gets to them. Note that by the time lunch time comes around, these will no longer be frozen and will be perfect to eat. (These keep in the fridge for about a week.)

Inspiration + Quotes: It's The Little Things

Bits n' Pieces
It's that moment you captured perfectly with your camera, the scent of the sun, the feeling of a breeze, the morning light shining through the window, the fresh leaves on trees or the wind blowing through your hair; it's the little things. 

The little things in life are sometimes what matter the most, and what's missed the most. 

Saturday has brought on a fun collection of the bits n' pieces in life that we find big enough to inspire. Appreciate the simple things you love in your daily life! You will find that without them, things wouldn't be quite the same ;)
