Family gatherings. Neighborhood open-houses. Like it or not, holiday time is party time! </p><img src="https://www.mcssl.com/content/135299/Ezine_art/holiday-12-2-09.gif" alt="" align="right" border="0" height="200" hspace="15" vspace="5" width="240" /> <p>Since the season is here, I want to introduce you to a concept that might just make your holidays a little more enlightened: </p> <p><b>Nervous Food. </b></p> <p>Nervous Food is my name for any edible thing we shove into our mouths when we're in social situations. Not because we WANT it. But because it's there.<br /><br />Like the mushroom caps stuffed with Alpo. (Okay, maybe it's not Alpo. But it sure looks like Alpo!) Or the crab puffs that we snarf down, as Hal from HR recites the latest office policy on Instant Messaging.<br /><br /> First, let me be clear: this is not about diets or weight-loss.<br /><br /> This is about going unconscious. Checking out. Distracting yourself.<br /><br /> It's about leaving your <b>present-moment awareness</b> back in the comfort of your quiet home.<br /> </p> <p> Here are a few techniques to help you stay conscious and connected in any social situation. Try them, and you might discover that you leave parties feeling energized and purposeful. Not stuffed and buzzed.<br /><br /> <b>1 - Take a pre-party temperature reading. </b><br /><br /> Take your "temperature" about social settings.<br /><br />Are you uncomfortable at parties? Do you eat food without tasting it? Can you talk about anything with anyone? Or do you prefer an intense conversation with one or two people? Do you often feel left out or uneasy? Do you try to be <i>in the know</i>?<br /><br />There are no right answers. This is to simply get clear about your desires and behaviors, and to honor that clarity. Self-awareness is the starting point.<br /><br /> <b>2 - Set your intentions. </b><br /><br /> Prior to any social situation, set intentions.<br /><br /> What does this mean?<br /><br /> This means that <b>you create your experience before you walk through the door of the event</b>. It means that YOU set the tone for your whole evening.<br /><br /> Do this before you leave your house. Or while sitting in your car outside the party.<br /><br /> Simply intend <b>who you will BE</b> and what you will DO at this event.<br /><br /> Some examples:<br /><br /> <i>I'm a great listener. I truly taste the food I eat. I delight in other people's passions and interests. I have lots of fun without overindulging. I attract the perfect conversations. I am loved. </i><br /><br /> Your <b>intention is powerful</b> and will act as sort of a beacon to guide you during the party.<br /><br /> <b>3 - Give yourself permission to say NO. </b><br /><br /> Most of us say a knee-jerk "yes" to every invitation we get without asking ourselves if we really want to go.<br /><br /> Saying no doesn't mean you're saying no to the party or the people. It might mean that <b>you're saying "yes" to yourself.</b><br /><br /> Maybe you need to go to bed early. Or you want to spend a quiet night writing in your journal.<br /><br />Sometimes we eat out of distractedness and nervousness because our deepest desires aren't being met. When we ignore our <b>true</b> desires, we might try to compensate by <b>filling up on "shadow desires."</b> Shadow desires often come in the form of food and alcohol.<br /><br /> <b>4 - Attract, Don't Push. </b><br /><br />Parties can be highly charged. Sometimes we walk through that door and instantly feel ourselves trying to "measure up," or prove ourselves to anyone who seems hip.<br /><br /> If you're familiar with this behavior, try this technique:<br /><br /> Stop and take a breath. Intend that <b>you attract the perfect people to you</b>. Do it with a sense of service, and trust.<br /><br /> <b>Attraction</b> is a powerful principle. You might be amazed at how <b>effortless</b> the party becomes, and how surprising the conversations are! You might hear the perfect solution to a personal challenge. Or you might be an angel to someone who needs a listening ear.<br /><br /> <b>5 - Become an Alcohol-Free Observer. </b><br /><br />Recently, I opted out of drinking the perfunctory glass of wine at a dinner party. I chose to be present and to simply <b>observe</b>. I actively listened to people and observed the conversations all around me. Not in an aloof way, but in a deep way. I had a great time!<br /><br />Try it. Forego the alcohol and become an observer. Quietly and non-judgmentally witness your behavior. See how actively you can listen in conversations. Really <b>taste the food</b> on your plate. You might discover a whole new definition of fun!<br /> -----<br />Yes, I know that this is not your typical magazine advice on holiday overeating. But it does work! You really can let the holidays and the Nervous Foods teach you a thing or two about how to create awareness and space, rather than anxiety and over-eating!</p> <br /> <hr align="center" color="#a3c3c3" width="400"> <p>Performer, songwriter, and creativity consultant Christine Kane publishes her 'LiveCreative' weekly ezine with more than 8,000 subscribers.

Below is a great recipe that I've whipped up plenty of times in my workshops and is a staple in my diet at least a few times a week. The beauty of quinoa is that it can be used sooo many different ways, however don't get carried away and create the garbage quinoa salad as a little spicin' up goes a long way. Many have asked for a healthy dish that can be shared during the holiday season thats light, tasty and perhaps everyone may end up loving! (if you can get them to at least try it) So here's my top pick of the season.<br />Also, check out below for the nutritional make-up of quinoa.You may not want to share that with the family as there's some weird thing that when its good for you people are less apt to try it! Why is that? So as a suggestion, for sure, keep 'em fooled with this fabulous taste sensation!<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">P.S. DISCLAIMER--some think my recipes appear complex in writing, however, I am really spelling it out for you with the exact steps, plus things I've learned, tips I've got. Don't be hung up on the amount of words, its only to really give you the full picture, which most recipes do not!Try it and see just how easy it is!</span><br /><br />1) Steam quinoa in rice cooker or in pan on stove( like rice)<br />2 to 1 ratio as in 2 cups water for every 1 cup quinoa*<br />(* this is approximate as every pan , steamer is a little different plus dependent on your desired consistency of the cooked quinoa. I prefer it not "sticky and mushy" which can happen if too much water is used)<br /><br />2) BASIC recipe( for quinoa to actual taste good)<br />Begin with 2 cups steamed quinoa<br />once cooled down from steamer( like warm to touch)<br />FOLD in:<br />1/4 cup extra virgin oil( or split with other culinary cold pressed oil-I love it with walnut oil)<br />1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice<br />2 cloves garlic, crushed<br />1 teaspoon high end pristine sun dried salt( my preference-sun fire salt)<br />pinch of freshly ground black pepper<br />Mix all together.<br /><br />3)VARIETY options-<br />from here you can build... select different spices, seasonings, herbs, nuts veggies etc...<br />Here's a sure bet below for additions that compliment each other and create an amazing dish<br />(as with anything, overload of too much stuff ends up tasting icky!)<br /><br />Begin with the Basics recipe above, fold in:<br />1/4 cup pine nuts( or other nut such as walnuts)<br />1/4 cup currents<br />a few basil leaves, chopped<br />1/4 cup finely chopped flat parsley<br />1 TBSP finely shredded mint<br />1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes<br />*optional crumbled feta or raw goat cheese<br />Blend all together.<br />Serve warm or cold<br /><br />Here's the stats!<br />Complete protein- Quinoa contains alll 9 essential amino acids that are required by the body as building blocks for muscles<br />Magnesium--Quinoa contains high levels of this vital nutrient which helps relax your muscles and blood vessels plus sooo much more.<br />Fiber-Quinoa is a great fiber source that helps ease elimination and tones you colon.<br /><br />Enjoy!

I tried popular green powders, protein mixes and “power” granola, but nothing worked for my body. I was either hungry, gassy or just unsatisfied with the flavor. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Then I discovered Chocolate Bliss and it was like a miracle food, packed with exotic ingredients and pristine raw chocolate. As if the taste wasn’t enough, the fact that every single one of the 22 ingredients was a real food or herb sealed the deal for me; no nasty heated chemicals or weird soy thickener by-products. I mixed it with a generous helping of vanilla agave nectar and I literally felt l was on cloud 9. My mind opened, I was happy and my tummy felt good. Bliss took me out of a breakfast rut and serves as the perfect pre- and post-workout meal. It’s the perfect introduction to the world of superfoods and I can honestly say Bliss changed the way I view food, nutrition and my body. <span style=""> </span>I never thought it’d be possible to get so much nutrition and satisfaction from a “shake.” I no longer associate eating a meal with a huge plate of food, which led me to find ways to connect with friends and family besides having it centered around a restaurant or bar (who knew board games could be so fun?). <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">A few months ago, I tried to emulate Bliss for 30 days. I ran to Whole Foods and spent a ton on hemp seeds, raw cacao powder, maca and “raw” agave nectar. When I got home, I could instantly tell that the ingredients weren’t as powerful. The hemp seeds smelled weird, the cacao powder probably sat in a warehouse for months and lord knows how long the maca had been on that shelf! My health is really important tome, so I didn’t mind spending the money on the items from Whole Foods, but knowing that I wasn’t getting the best quality for my dollar was quite upsetting! Still, I mixed everything up hoping for the best, only to find myself hungry an hour later in a crabby mood with a headache that wouldn’t quit. Also, that sustained energy that helped me before, during and after my workouts and yoga classes disappeared! That proved to me that Bliss lived up to the hype. I’m so grateful to have found this superfood and I love spreading the word about it to others. If you haven’t tried it, I can’t recommend it enough!"<o:p></o:p></p> <!--EndFragment--> </div> <!--EndFragment-->Lisa Persicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05001029175694677706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3269072645701706735.post-89624424317571213242009-08-29T10:07:00.000-07:002009-08-30T08:29:44.223-07:00Healixir Recipe: The Signature Skinny Latte<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpizSOas34HH27YZl8aVWX_xkFK_ojcTK4C_PVNC4Odr2Ip75IEBxCN5LJO-cd8wIAseZO-q2dMG8TB77tF9sD5pxofxqT1bMalxKAI0usS5WhMj9dmyijC38KETcJ0Az319li_SYME8/s1600-h/greenglasssmall.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpizSOas34HH27YZl8aVWX_xkFK_ojcTK4C_PVNC4Odr2Ip75IEBxCN5LJO-cd8wIAseZO-q2dMG8TB77tF9sD5pxofxqT1bMalxKAI0usS5WhMj9dmyijC38KETcJ0Az319li_SYME8/s320/greenglasssmall.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375777038522631378" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">As many of you know, my classes are filled with tons of info and fun, tasty, mega-nutritious recipes and snacks.

Those of you that I have worked with closely as clients, colleagues and friends, knew that it was time for me to evolve and step it up! <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">After teaching the typical cleansing support/information classes in the early years of my career, then slowly moving into the healthy living classes know as the lifeSTYLE workshops focusing on integration of raw, superfoods and conscious living strategies plus leading one-on-one programs, customized detoxes, coaching and the creation of the "shop,” I found something missing. Working with countless groups and clients and taking many workshops for my own personal development, the desire to get to the "heart" of the matter was apparent. I felt as if I had to put it all together... something doable, something realistic yet something that was more meaningful beyond just drinking a smoothie, or popping a pill to poop!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">I had a desire to bring forth more than just food or detox or raw, but provide a full-fledged lifestyle program that incorporates food, beauty, heart, soul and style! The ecoLUXE lifestyles is my personal creation and evolution of what sustainable, fabulous and fun is from the inside out... beyond just raw, vegan, green or any other category we place ourselves in. EcoLUXE lifestyles is the heart and soul of truly living fabulously and really "feeling" fabulous all the time (and that means emotionally too). It is my contribution to the healing world! Let's do it in style…soul style!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">For a long time I felt boxed into a category and now after many years of collaboration, another level of transformation and an inner and outer personal evolution, I am free to step it up and step it out! I am adding the "me" component, my unique self. I love LUXE, I love style, I love glimmer and I love glam!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none">The greatest compliment I ever received was from a client who enjoyed my food, recipes, coaching and workshop so much she felt as if she was in the Garden of Eden. Well guess what? She is and was and will be! My version of the Garden of Eden is going green and glam... welcome to my evolution...ecoLUXE lifestyles!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><o:p></o:p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Lisa Persicohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05001029175694677706noreply@blogger.com1
