108 CHAKRA SOUPS recipe 4 - Love is simplicity - " Anahata chakra"


The fourth chakra Anahata chakra, the heart chakra, is the seat of balance within the body. It is symbolised by a circular flower with twelve petals. The Yantra in the centre of the chakra is composed of two overlapping, intersecting triangles. One triangle, facing upward symbolizes Shiva, the male principle. The other triangle, facing downward, symbolizes Shakti, the female principle. A balance is attained when these two forces are joined in harmony. The heart chakra, rests in the center of the chakra system, at the core of our spirit. Anahata is related to the colours green and pink. Its physical location is the heart, upper chest, and upper back. The fourth is the balance point, integrating the world of matter (the lower three chakras) with the world of spirit (the upper three chakras). Through the heart chakra, we open to and connect with harmony and peace. The health of our heart center registers the quality and power of love in our life.  Key issues involving Anahata involve complex emotions, compassion, tenderness, unconditional love, equilibrium, rejection and well-being. Emotionally it governs unconditional love for the self and others, mentally it governs passion, and spiritually it governs devotion.

In Sanskrit, the heart chakra is called Anahata, which means "unstruck" or "unhurt." Its name implies that deep beneath our personal stories of brokenness and the pain in our heart, wholeness, boundless love, and a wellspring of compassion reside.

Recipe 4: Anahata , "Love is simplicity"
Preparation:
The soups have to be made with fresh ingredients. Please avoid as much as possible canned or even frozen food because it impacts not only the taste but also the nutrient aspects. I also advice of please do not freeze the soup. Nor use microwave.
In general my recipe are for 2 meals for one person or one meal for two people. You can always cut the ingredients in half, if you want to make it less. 
When possible it is better if the soup can rest for sometimes before to be warmed up again and eaten. The rest will allow the flavours of the various ingredients to better melt into each other and bring up the final taste of the soup.
Ingredients:
1 oignon
a clove of garlic
3 spoons of bio vegetable oil
1 carrots
1 big cup of spelt peas
3 leaves of bay leaves
1 Bio vegetable cube
black pepper
chilly powder
2 full spoons of olive oil
1 package of smoked Tofu

Put the oil into the pot then add the onion previously cut into pieces, the garlic. Let it fry a couple of minutes, add the split peas and the chopped carrot and stir for a couple of min.  Add the cube, 1 liter of boiling filtered water add the pepper and the chilly powder. 
I never add any extra salt, the one contained in the cube is already enough!
Once the mix is boiling lower the flame and let it cook 40 min, stir it once in a while. 
Once done switch off, blend it first then add the tofu previosely cut in small cubes, add the 2 spoons of olive oil and stir.
Now the soup is done let it sit and warm it up before eating.
