The Sacred Plate: Recipes for Abundant Living is a spiritual self-help book by lifestyle and mindfulness coach Sarah Vie on how the way we eat can help move us from a mindset of scarcity to one of manifesting abundance. Much more than a cookbook, this book uses Ayurvedic eating and its effect on the chakras as a starting point for delving into how we can design the experience of eating into our lives, in all of its forms--visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, spiritual, and of course taste. Through personal stories, beautiful photos, recipes, an spiritual guidance, the author paints a picture of how anyone can live a more luxurious and abundant life with food. Discover the healing power of intentional eating-an ancient practice that seeks to realign our energetic centres with the vibrational frequencies of abundance. By nourishing ourselves with foods that resonate with the colours associated with each chakra, we initiate a process of energetic recalibration, restoring harmony to our inner landscape. Imagine a journey wherein the hues of crimson tomatoes and vibrant beets serve as the palette with which we paint our root chakra, infusing it with a sense of groundedness and stability. With each mindful bite, we reclaim our sovereignty over our energetic well-being, forging a deeper connection with the nourishing energies of the earth. Our relationship with food is a reflection of our relationship with ourselves, and The Sacred Plate beckons us to explore the intricate web of emotions at the heart of our being, inviting us on a journey of self-discovery and self-transformation and returning us to our birthright of abundance. As we cultivate awareness around our emotional triggers and patterns of behaviour, we gain insight into the deeper currents that shape our lived experience. When we approach food with mindfulness and intention, viewing it as a source of nourishment and pleasure rather than a source of guilt or shame, we not only feed our bodies but also our souls. By cultivating a healthy relationship with food, we can cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, self-compassion, and ultimately, self-acceptance. As you sit down with The Sacred Plate, you'll reflect on the deeper meaning behind your food choices. What do they reveal about who you are and what you value? And how can you cultivate a more loving and respectful relationship with food that honors both your body and your spirit?
