If you knew right now 100% that everything is being aligned, connected, and drawn to you, would you even be worried or even for a second overthinking it? No, you would just trust, believe, and be in an expecting state. You would know that the order you put in with the universe or what you intended is already yours. You would feel like it’s complete. You would be smiling. This is a powerful state to be in. An expectancy state. A trusting state. A state of real strong faith that it’s is already done. Look at your vision as a something being packaged and made its way to you. All the pieces you ordered is all being together. We must start transcending from feeling smallness to owning greatness. You must be assertive with your vision. You must claim it. You manifest because you have already convinced yourself that you deserve greatness. This sense that you are worthy makes it even more fun because it’s an energy state that “you have finally claimed what’s rightfully yours!” So be more confident today knowing that within you, you have eased up, relaxed, and trusted that your wildest dreams is currently being packaged and making its way to you. This will shift how you feel through out the day. This will ignite a familiar power within you that lets you know everything is okay, that you can keep going forward confidently. It’s all about how you trust. It’s all about owning the completion, arrival, and success of your vision now. You are greatness right now. You are successful right now. You are a blessing and a miracle right now. You are complete right now. You are loved and loving right now. It’s already done!

Pāli Word a Day for August 28, 2019 — kataññu-katavedita — acknowledging the debt owed to others and paying it back with gratitude

Sukhā virāgatā loke,
Kāmānaṃ samatikkamo;
Asmimānassa yo vinayo —
etaṃ ve paramaṃ sukhaṃ.

Blissful is passionlessness in the world,
The overcoming of sensual desires;
But the abolition of the conceit I am —
That is truly the supreme bliss.

Foodstyles | Bacon Fried Rice

Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Cook Plant Meditate

What do you make for dinner when you have a few random vegetables and a few strips of uncooked bacon? Bacon fried rice, of course! EASY!

You can use whatever random vegetables you have on hand, but I do suggest starting with an onion.

You will need:
2-3 cups cooked rice
2-3 strips thick cut bacon, diced
1/2 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 ear of corn, kernels cut off
1 small tomato, diced
2 cloves garlic
Salt & pepper

In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook diced bacon. Remove bacon from pan and set aside, but keep the grease in the pan.

Sautee onion and bell pepper in bacon grease until they begin to soften.

Add in corn, tomato and garlic. Cook a few minutes, or until garlic is very fragrant.

Add in rice a little bit at a time, then finish with cooked bacon.

Enjoy!

Pāli Word a Day for August 27, 2019 — mattaññū — one of moderation

Bahumpi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,
na takkaro hoti naro pamatto,
gopova gāvo gaṇayaṃ paresaṃ,
na bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti.

Much though one recites the sacred texts,
but acts not accordingly,
that heedless one is like a cowherd
who only counts the cows of others —
one does not partake of the blessings of the holy life.
