Flow and Create Recipe
Get creative and go with the flow - try this new recipe today!
Continuing our food journey by way of the Chakras, we arrive at the second chakra; better known as the svadhisthana, or sacral chakra. The sacral chakra is associated with your emotions and feelings, or going with the flow. It is the center of pleasure and creativity, where we house our passion and sexuality. Located in the lower abdomen and pelvic region, it physically effects the hips and reproductive organs. When you find yourself feeling rigid, emotionally dependent or attached, and need to boost your daily affirmations of the sacral chakra, try out some orange colored foods; as orange is the associated color.
This recipe was made from a love of coconut and curry, and a blend of some orange root vegetables to activate the sacral. The soup is vegan, so it is great cold or hot! And can be made in large batches….perfect for canning!
