Powerful Food from Yogi Bhajan's Kitchen

I cooked this recipe last night, and it is delicious!

Mung Beans and rice recipe
 This is a perfect pre-digested food. It is easy on the digestive system and very nourishing.
Ingredients

1 cup of Mung Beans (they are asian green beans)
1 cup of Basmati rice
9 cups of water
4-6 cups chopped assorted vegetables (carrots, celery, zuchini, broccoli, etc.)
2 onions, chopped
1/3 cup of minced ginger root (grind)
8-10 cloves of garlic, minced
1 heaping tsp. of turmeric
½ tsp. pepper
1 heaping tsp. garam masala
1 tsp. crushed red chiles
1 Tbsp. sweet basil
2 bay leaves
seeds of 5 cardamon pods
salt or soy sauce to taste

Rinse beans and rice, bring water to a boil, add rice and beans and let boil oer a medium flame. Prepare vegetables. Add vegetables to cooking rice and beans. Heat about ½ cup oil in large frying pan. Add onions, garlic and ginger and saute over a midium-high flame until browning. Add spices (not salt or herbs). When nicely done, combine onions with cooking mung beans and rice. You will need to stir often to prevent scorching.
Add herbs. Continue to cook until completely well done over a medium-low flame, stirring often. The consistency should be rich, thick and soup-like. with ingredients barely discernible. Serve with yogurt, or with cheese melted over the top.

I love nuts, so I put sunflower seeds on top instead of cheese. 


Prayer, by Masaru Emoto

"Prayer is most effectively sent when each person in the world raises their energy of love by imagining a scene where the peoples of the world are living in peace. First you must shine with positive, high spirited vibrations, and be full of love. In order to do that, I think it's important lo love, thank and respect yourself." Masaru Emoto "Love Thyself: The Message from Water III".

Dead water

A few days ago, I was feeling horrible, I had unusual headaches, unquenchable thirst, muscle aches, insomnia and tiredness. Without even bothering to find out what the problem was, my doctor prescribed me anti-nausea medication. Later I discovered that one of my bottles of water I bought at the store had a terrible smell. Since I stopped drinking that water all seemed to be back to normal. I figured that was the cause of my bodily upset.
I've been reading Masaru Emoto's writings on the secrets of water and this confirms his thesis. Water carries information we just begin to understand. Water may be the carrier of human insanity and it may be spreading that insanity in Nature. We are giving to water what we are. He argues that our Love and Gratitude can make water live. Hate and violence contaminates the water and makes it crazy like humans right now. The water has a memory. It carries your feelings and thoughts, so be careful of what you choose to think and feel. Everything will be out there... in the water.
