A Journey into Thought & Spirit

Blueberry Ginger Pear Smoothie

Ancient yogis and mystics have long analyzed nature and the stars. There is something in our DNA that yearns for questioning the deeper meaning of life and nature. Is it evolutionary? Is life created by God?

Whatever you believe in, while studying nature we cannot ignore its natural beauty. Like a canvas painting, the spring and summer are alive with vibrant colors. and color combinations that seem only as if Van Gogh painted the petals himself.

To me, hydrangeas are a fascinating plant that mirrors the beauty of a Renaissance painting. The color of the petals are affected by the Ph in the soil, so the Ph dictates if the colors will be white, pink, blue, purple and so on. 

I got this Bohemian and ultra-flown 1970's flower dress that looked exactly like that "hydrangea painting" that was pictured in my mind. The flow of the colors, warm and cool, flowed with grace and beauty. That was the moment when art, nature and fashion unite.

"For me the bare feet are grounding. I'm connected to the Earth in a way that I cannot be any other way."
Rhiannon Giddens

The flowers inspired me to combine the various shades of purple and green into a smoothie to help aide the body in easy digestion of these fibrous foods. With a little bit of ginger, this spice boosts immune functions when consumed in healthy doses. A bit of roots and fruits does the body good, especially with grounding. 

It is natural to want to feel connected to the earth, and the one of doing this is by walking barefoot on the grass to "collect" the ions from Mother Earth. It sounds Boho and hippie, but its true.

"Bare feet on the grass comfort the spirit and connect the body to the earth all at once!"
Maximillian Degenerez

As an Aquarian, deep down there is an earthy BOHO vibe that feels free and alive while communing with nature. In this new age of Aquarius, we see the rise of the bohemian culture, and to really kickstart that peace and love vibe was from the real hippies in the 1960-70s. 

Allowing yourself to be one with nature, and root your roots (aka feet) in the earth is as restorative as a dip in the ocean. Its revitalizing and freeing, which being naked like Adam and Eve are our natural states of being. 

Smoothies help us consume more nutrients and vitamins while staying cool during the warmer months, and I hope you feel vibrant and alive during this season. Be bold and beautiful like the hydrangeas. Stay well my fiends.
