TODAY'S LEARNING
Beliefs You Have to Let Go If You Want to Find Inner Peace

1. “I need to be doing something right now.”

The majority of us are holding onto this extremely subtle belief without even being aware of it. It stems from our obsession with productivity and achievement, and it manifests as a constant, itching discontent.

Even if our ego deceives us into thinking we must act on this sensation in order to accomplish our goals, when we can let it go, we notice that most of our worry disappears and our calm deepens. We’re also much more likely to enjoy what we need to do without the constant internal pressure of feeling that what we’re doing in this moment is never enough.

2. “When I get what I want I will be happy.”

Another cliche that I'm sure most of us are familiar with is this one. Even though we know that we don't need anything to be happy, it's nevertheless simple for us to get sucked into the hunt.

To avoid this, we must be aware of the moments when we feel as though something is necessary before we may be joyful. When we become aware of our tendency to do this, we can work on temporarily letting go of that need. The more adept we grow at doing so, the more naturally happy we will feel in the here and now, and the less our minds will become fixated on fantasies of the future for satisfaction.

3. “Finding inner peace is difficult.”

Another fallacy that gets in the way is this one. Many of us believe that inner peace is something we can never achieve, and we look up to people who appear to have it. As a result, we automatically assume that it is far away from where we are in life and that we must travel a big distance to find it.

Maybe we’ve read books that suggest that fundamental change in how we feel or act takes years of difficult training or some sort of pilgrimage. But a lot of the time, it's about letting go of the notion that what we want is so far away and realizing that when you stop pushing yourself so hard, you'll start to notice the serenity you're seeking. Turning your views on their head is the process that turns the journey into itself.

4. “If I express my emotions honestly people will think I’m weak.”

As we get older, we frequently learn to control our emotions. This is common for responses that are considered socially inappropriate such as anger, fear, and sadness. However, in many instances, we are also instructed to control how much we express our delight and excitement. Because of this, as adults, we tend to think that people won't appreciate our sincere expression.

The paradox in this is that while everyone struggles with the desire to be genuine, those who truly do so are frequently greeted with appreciation and respect.

5. “If people knew the real me, they wouldn’t like it.”

This is similar to the issue we have with emotional expressions. We conceal some facets of our personalities, identifying ourselves both publicly and personally based on what we reveal and what we keep hidden. The truth is that you are much more than any of those stories, and because people value honesty, they will gravitate toward the real you.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Ayurveda Summer Recipes: Buckwheat Tea Cake with Orange Zest & Raspberry

Buckwheat tea cakes with raspberry and orange are a dainty treat for socializing with friends. Buckwheat flour is lighter and drier than wheat flour, so that after eating this tea cake you'll feel as clear as the August skies. You and your friends will also enjoy the brightness of orange zest. A hint of raspberry hides within the smoothness of the cake, a delightful, energizing surprise when it touches your tongue. Paired with freshly brewed sun-tea, this cake is as sweet and carefree as conversation with friends.

Ingredients

1 c BUCKWHEAT

1/4 c COCONUT OIL

3 whole EGGS

1 tsp ORANGE ZEST

1/2 c RASPBERRY

1/3 c RAW SUGAR

1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT

1/4 c YOGURT

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a square 8- or 9-inch baking pan or dish. Set aside. In a separate bowl, melt the butter or coconut oil.

Whisk the eggs then add sugar slowly, whisking again until the eggs are frothy.

Whisk in the yogurt and vanilla. Carefully add a bit of the melted coconut oil to the egg mixture, whisking continuously as you slowly add all oil. Whisk in the buckwheat flour until batter is smooth. Mix in orange zest and raspberries.

Pour into prepared pan or dish and bake 30 minutes, until just set in center. Cool at least 30 minutes in pan before slicing into squares to serve warm, or cool completely if you prefer.

Add additional toppings if desired. Add 1/4 cup almond meal for a nutty flavor and rustic texture. Substitute butter for coconut oil for more classic, creamy richness.
