Rising: Daily Ritual, Coffee, and Breakfast

Day #1 Sunday, May 31st, 2015

Upon rising everyday I will pull a Tarot Card from Thoth deck to create a affirmation for the day.
This morning I pulled the 3 of Cups, Abundance. What a beautiful way to begin.

The amazing site Angel Paths, says that
The Lord of Abundance is a warm and joyous card, which indicates a rare and precious type of love - a love which, once experienced, reminds us of the richness of shared emotion and commitment.
It is also a card which refers to the wellspring of fertility, whether spiritual or material. Here we see the first seeds sown of a bright and bountiful harvest. Accordingly, the card will sometimes come up to indicate high days of celebration - like weddings or other intimate celebrations of love. 

So here's a little exercise to open yourself out and let the love flow in. This works at any time at all...whenever you try it. And remember this always....the most important time to try this exercise is when you feel lost, wounded, sad and alone.Sit down and make yourself comfortable. Give your shoulders a roll around to rid them of tension and open out your chest area. Now steady your breathing....make it easy and calm. This will encourage you to relax just a little more.
When your body feels as comfortable as you can get it to, concentrate your attention on the area right in the middle of your chest. Breathe in, keeping your attention on that centre spot. Then as you breathe out, imagine that you see a flower opening its petals, right there, in that spot. Draw in breath again, and allow it to flow into the unfurling flower. If you want to, as you breathe in you can repeat the affirmation.... 

Please try this little exercise...even if you are sceptical! I can guarantee you the results will startle you!!! 

Affirmation: The Universe welcomes and embraces me.

This is a wonderful daily ritual and really starts ones day out right.  The synchronise thing is that yesterday we had a power Creation box workshop for abundance at the Art 4 All People studios. How cool is that.

Creation Box all the intentions are sealed in the box and will manifest.

Onward with abundance to breakfast. 

Part of the process of working with the Weight Watchers plan you get a value of 34 points of food to have for your days meals. The cool thing is most veggies and fruits have a zero value. So you can eat an abundance of those.

Here is my first art is life meal. Arugula, tomatoes, roasted portobello mushrooms, and two soft boiled eggs. The total value of this meal is 8 points.

The eggs are four points and the mushroom is four points as I added a bit of oil olive and balsamic vinegar.

Yummastic Breakfast

 

Recipe 

One giant handful of Arugula

One plum tomato 

Two eggs soft boiled 

• Place eggs in pan covered with  water 
• When the water starts boiling, let eggs boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Take out of water and lets sit for a couple minutes. These ones were a little over done. Need to work on that.

Roasted Portobello mushroom . 

• Slice mushroom marinate in sauce of with smoked paprika, salt, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar
• Broil in oven for 5 -7 minutes 

Place with love on your plate and Bon Appetit!
I would rate this breakfast a five out five.  Totally low on points and totally high on flavor and nutrition. Also, for my morning ritual I will take the supplements Turmeric, Milk Thistle, and Glucosamine to heal my knees.

Onward to Target to get pedometer. So I can track my physical exercise and activity.
