“The times are urgent, lets slow down”
- Bayo Akomolafe
In the northern hemisphere, the days are rapidly more dark then light. Moving in the way of ‘Yang Shen Fa’ or Nourishing Life Principles, would lead us to embrace this by resting more. Not so long ago, this time harkened a season of sharing candlelit feasts, storytelling and great dance gatherings. This is still possible. In these strong times it may be impossible to slow down. I urge you, even if it is five minutes, it makes a huge difference. I recently found this recipe and in support of slowing down, it will help with that!

Storage in mason jars is preferable for keeping fresh in the fridge (up to 2 weeks). Option to double the recipe to make 2 weeks worth.
The ingrediants used provide the body with essential amino acids, the building blocks of our bodies (tissue, hormones, everything!). Furthermore the ingredients support restful evenings. From my kitchen to yours I wish you good health.
