TODAY'S LEARNING
Winter Meditation: A soulful meditation for inner wisdom and peace this winter season

The winter is a time to go inward, to find your inner wisdom, your softer, wiser self.

Breathe, relax, and find your comfort zone. Let the ground hold you while you sink. Hold your heart, the center of your being, with one hand. With the other, hold your womb space – the centre of your creativity.

Envision a cozy aura enveloping you. It is gentle and golden, illuminating the night and bringing solace and tranquility. As its warmth and energy begin to penetrate you and touch your skin, they will bring you a sense of surrender and gentleness.

Visualize drawing the warmth into your head and then into your body. Sensate it pouring over your cranium, relaxing your jaw, and relieving any tension in your neck.

Transmit it through your body, passing via your shoulders, back, and chest to reach your heart. As you release yourself from your weight and allow yourself to soften, feel it pour into your belly and pelvis, bringing with it a grateful heaviness.

Experience the warm warmth spreading through your arms and legs, into every joint, into your wrists and ankles, and into your fingers and toes. Feel it enveloping your body, warm and radiant.

Allow it to seep through you and into the ground like roots to bind you together. Take in the restorative energy of the ground. Inhale the heat emanating from your abdomen.

Let’s go to the woods, dear one: they are beautiful and wintery now. Enter the area where trees assemble in unison, displaying knowledge and speaking a long-forgotten, invisible tongue of wisdom.

Allow us to occupy this area here. Tall trees reaching up, the last leaves on the earth, the sky above us, the earth below, frost on the branches. Picture the roots extending down into the dark dirt, safe and warm. Allow that sense of security to find you as well. This place feels rooted and safe.

Extend your arms to make contact with the trees. Touch the rough bark with your hands. Feel the moisture in the evening air. The energy beneath your fingertips is palpable. Sensate the connection's pulse. Touching the trees with your hands will allow you to understand that this link transcends time and space to an inborn realm of knowledge, just as their roots twist and pulse in the earth beneath your feet.

There's a woman visible among the trees. You are aware that she is the quintessential crone—a friend, sage, and old. a significant elder. a narrative weaver. She is a symbol of winter knowledge, insight, and intuition. She represents transition, rebirth, and endings.

She is an elderly soul who has traveled the old paths and has room for fulfillment. She is here to support us as we navigate these closures and these fresh starts. And she's here to support us in getting to know ourselves better and in finding the beauty in our flaws.

Stroll over to greet her. Grasp her hands in mine. Observe her love-filled, sparkling eyes. Look at her happy face. Observe the awareness she instills in you.

Take in everything she is telling you. Breathe out warmth and love to your inner crone. When your crone sees you, she recognizes you. She has all the answers you require. Pay close attention to what you know.

Crone serves as a reminder that every ending can lead to a fresh start. Crone improves our ability to see. Crone has always been there, listening to our inner voice and responding with insight that she has accumulated over the years.

You can already feel the knowledge filling you up. Hold her hands while you close your eyes. Feel the familiar, age-old pulse coursing through your body.

In these beautiful woods, take a few moments more to stand in the stillness. Smell the still dirt. Take in the sounds of the trees bending and swaying in the breeze. Life persists beneath the surface of the planet, even in the winter. Here, you are protected and held. Here, you can be who you truly are. We embrace your flaws. We welcome your inner truth.

Now open your eyes. Crone is gone, but the feeling of being with her remains. Additionally, there's something new: a feeling of unity with your inner world. a stable sense in the midst of ambiguity. Your body and mind feel like they are returning to themselves, and you smile.

You anticipate running into your crone once more. You'll give her a friendly, cordial welcome and express your gratitude for all that she has brought to teach you. After that, you'll listen to the knowledge that has long been inside of you.

Here in this zone of knowing, take as much time as you need. In silence, rest. When you're ready, go back out into the world with wisdom and wonder.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Ayurveda Recipes: Sweet Potato & Spicy Pecan Crisp

Country-Home Sweet Potato & Spicy Pecan Crisp is a satisfying way to spend an evening before the fire. Recline in your favorite easy chair as you enjoy soft, comforting sweet potatoes. This treat will fill your home with a nutty aroma of roasted oats & crunchy oven-baked pecans. A dash of fiery cayenne warms your belly and heart, giving this dessert a subtle 'kick'. Enjoy for dessert at your Thanksgiving table or even for breakfast the next morning.

Ingredients

1/3 tsp CAYENNE PEPPER

5 whole DATES (DRIED)

1/4 c GHEE

3 tbsp MAPLE SYRUP

1/2 c OATS / OATMEAL

1/2 c PECANS

2 pinch SALT (MINERAL SALT)

3 c SWEET POTATO

Instructions

1. Coarsely chop through the nuts. In a large frying pan or cast iron, melt 2 tbsps of ghee over low-medium heat. Add maple syrup, a pinch of sea salt, and cayenne. Mix well, then add pecans and oats to your glaze mix. Stir to completely coat the nuts. Toast for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grate the raw sweet potatoes. Feel free to leave the skins on. Coarsely chop your dates and remove pits. In a medium-large mixing bowl, toss sweet potatoes, dates, and remaining 2 tbsp of ghee. Sprinkle in sea salt.

3. Lightly grease a baking dish that has a tight fitting lid. A dutch oven, ceramic dish, or pyrex are all excellent choices. Pour sweet potato mixture into the dish to about 2-3'' in height. Use a spatula to spread them evenly.

4. Spread crust mixture over the sweet potatoes. Crust should be approximately 1/2 inch thick.

5. Bake covered for 1 hour. Remove lid for the lid for the last 10 minutes for a crispy top. When you pull it out of the oven, drizzle with a little maple syrup and sprinkle of sea salt. Make it "a la mode" by serving with a dollop of maple syrup yogurt!
