“SOUCHA” “SVADHYAYA” “PRANAYAMA” YES. For me, time to review and return to consistent practice.
Gratitude to the wise great teacher, Ramaswami Srivatsa. Coming from someone with lifetime of experience and practice, I cannot be more inspired at this time of many disappointments and confusion. There’s clarity and reassurance in his words. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I’m back; how about you?
Salmon light tempura battered, fried in grape seed oil, then marinaded in citrus and umami-enriched broth with lots of red onions and sea veggie& lemon garnish:)
Mozzarella cheese topped with sliced tomatoes and basil. Garnish of multitude colored cherry tomatoes, dash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar
What rare kind of camellia – so beautiful … orchids floating 
Brought a Japanese dish and an Italian dish to a gathering. Welcomed by beautiful flower arrangements all over this zen space of a home and dishes by even better home chefs and … prana contents. These hosts have exquisite taste displayed in subtle touches throughout.
Should we be canceling gathering with friends and sharing food and stories, too fearful of germs virus and the unknown. No. Trust Human connections and nourishment and … beauty.
Thank you M&A 🙏 Your elegance in how you surround yourselves with all things beautiful… was a prana booster in today’s world of constant fear factors, anger and separations. A much needed boost.
Lucky to have a friend who is certified in Japanese culinary training plus high level of French cooking skills! So delicious and nutritious with greens, root veggies, plant based proteins, and berries … Satisfying but light. Nothing fancy everyday monk-ish foods – Love the Hijiki-Rice with carrots, lotus roots, eggplants with Koji miso, greens with radish …
Flavorful … and so nourishing:)
Gratitude to the talented chef !
Seeing this on www.taoporchonlynch.net, a site that I check into sometimes to motivate myself to be a better teacher. Tao Porchon-Lynch was the world’s oldest yoga teacher at age 101. So amazing that she kept at it for all these years inspiring so many. Here’s a life fully lived that I aspire to. Let’s dance our way the ups and downs to find our own unique flow.
