Sesame Mylk. Packed with Plant-Based Calcium & Protein.

I used organic raw sesame seeds from Montreal’s Prana Bio, however you can use any non-roasted sesame seeds available. Cheesecloth can be purchased at many health food stores, and speciality food shops, or ordered online. I got mine at PA Nature! Soak the sesame seeds for 8-hours. Do this overnight, or start soaking in the morning – […]

2 months ago by danielle__levy__ Wholistic Self-Care Mobile - featuring the four bodies, which I explored this month!✨ Depicted as a child’s mobile, to express how these moving aspects of ourselves are always in flux. Never static. A reminder that balance is created day to day - in each moment. That attending to our different bodies is a moving, or active process. Like the natural world - which is always shifting, adapting, and self-regulating - in order to restore and maintain balance. A dynamic process that we can practice as humans - being part of nature ourselves! Using the mobile metaphor - if one body/sphere
2 months ago by danielle__levy__ Forest Bathing Meditation. The still quietude of the forest calms me. Relaxing my nervous system, and mind. I hear the welcoming call of morning birds. And whistle back to them. Soothing sounds of melting snow rush past me along the path. I breathe in the fresh smell of trees. Nourishing me. I listen to the crunch of my feet against the tender spring ground. Not walking to arrive. I let go, and allow the natural world embrace me. . Forest Bathing, traditionally a Japanese concept, is a simple, beautifully human activity, that supports our physical/mental/emotional/and spiritual bodies. This practice involves
2 months ago by danielle__levy__ COMPASSION. To me, there are two seemingly paradoxical sides to compassion. One is pain, or sadness for the suffering or loss of other beings/the destruction of Earth. The other, is a deep love and joy for these living entities. That the degree to which my compassion brings a sense of pain/sadness, is the same degree that I get to experience love/joy. I am learning how to hold both. Gently.

2 months ago by danielle__levy__ GRATITUDE. While nature teaches us that all things change, the light of our spirit is ultimately unaffected by external circumstances. It is timeless. Existing on a contiuum that is far bigger than our current situation, or even our physical body. Each now moment that we are alive on this Earth, offers us the opportunity to practice #gratitude for whatever IS. REmembering that we are all part of a vast interconnected web of life – that cannot fully be seen by the eye, but can be felt by the spirit.

2 months ago by danielle__levy__ Human | Nature: SPIRITUAL Body . Sky Meditation We are tiny creatures walking this beautiful Earth. So small, and yet so powerful. Woven into the energetic fabric that forms each cloud, each leaf, and each person we meet. The big sky can remind us how small, and yet how deeply interconnected we are. ♡ . . As a child I would always look up at the sky, for spiritual sustenance. It helped me feel connected to something bigger than myself. It immediately felt like a spiritual experience. At that time, I felt trapped - both in school, and at home.
