Dear All,

First of all I would like to wish my clients and readers Happy Eid, Happy Diwali, and Happy Halloween.

 

Whenever my time allows, what I love watch ing on T.V. are mostly cookery programmes. If you see the eclectic collection of cookery books on my shelf, from Elizabeth David, Jane Grigson, Eating For Beauty, by David Wolfe, to Claudia Roden’s Arabesque, you’d be a fool to think that I am an avid cook! But when my friend saw the newly released book, Sufi Cuisine by Nevin Halici, at the local public library, he knew that I would love it.

 

In the foreword of the book, Claudia Roden writes: “it is a cultural history, a book of poetry, a culinary memoir and a collection of recipes. It also gives rare insight into the spiritual wisdom and philosophy that Rumi expressed through ecstatic love poetry seeking to unite humanity in love, respect and brotherhood”. In it, the author also describes how a Sufi’s initiation begins in the kitchen.

 

As I go through ‘mine’, I must confess that although I am keen recipe collector, I never seem to stick to any, and I certainly never remember a favourite one. Why do I do it? Simply because it inspired me! Inspiration takes out the ‘o’ out of any culinary chore. At those moments, which are becoming more frequent, when I venture into the kitchen; the one recipe for culinary success I remember each time is an old prayer to the three cookery saints my mother always uses. No matter what the recipe requires, or whatever my intention is to make it, the result is always satisfying. Here’s our family’s secret!

Narcissistic Love vs. Conscious Love

"There is such a broad range of beliefs, behaviors and conflicts within mankind how can we find love without any challenge? When we insist on always being right it means that the others around us are wrong. Narcissistic people think that we are normal and acceptable only when we are like them."

How Toxic Are You?
London life coach, Taymour Qabazard writes: "Have you noticed how sometimes during the week you’re lethargic without a reason? You may feel awake, but seem to be in a bubble of disassociation. You’re tired after 8 hours of sleep, abnormally clumsy and may even mumble or slur your words without having had a drop of alcohol."

Sounds Divine, by Sahar Huneidi
Can the sound of your own voice help keep you healthy? Sahar Huneidi looks into it: "All information we take is inputted through our five senses, hearing, tasting, seeing, touching and smelling. Through those senses we compile a 'data bank of experiences, which when recalled, can sometimes be re-triggered awakening a multitude of emotions connected to them."

Raising your Vibration through "Connecting To Source"

"According to the universal laws of attraction and reflectivity, we will attract and manifest our vibrational match. And so, if we are vibrating in a place of fear, anger or guilt, we will attract and manifest like individuals and circumstances that are vibrating in fear, anger or guilt. Similarly, if we are vibrating in a place of joy, love and freedom, we will also manifest our match."
