Rooting Within Yourself / Barley and Vegetable Stew 

 2 tablespoons butter or gee

1 tablespoon neutral oil

1 small red onion, finely chopped

3 cups mixed, 1/2-inch diced root vegetables, peeled and cut in a uniform size - red beets, sunchokes, fingerling potatoes

½ cup frozen or fresh sweet corn

½ cup roughly diced red cabbage

¼ to ½ cup minced beet greens  

½ cup pearled barley - rinsed

A handful of radishes for garnishing – cut into match sticks

6 cups chicken or vegetable broth – adjust as needed

1 tablespoon lemon zest

Sour cream or plain full fat Greek yogurt – for garnish

2 - 6 tablespoons chopped dill - plus more for garnish

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper - to taste

 Actions

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot melt the butter and oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the root vegetables and cabbage, cook until they are browned in spots, about 5 minutes.

Add the barley and broth and bring to a boil. Cover and turn down to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and barley are tender, about 25 minutes.

Transfer 1 cup of the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the corn, cook for about 5 minutes, add zest, beet greens, and dill, cook for about 3 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. After placed in a bowl top with sour cream or yogurt, radishes, dill and sauerkraut cradled on top.  

Narrative: This dish brings understanding that the body is the present focus of personal consciousness and that cosmic consciousness is not “out there,” but that it resonates within you; being sacramentally rooted in Self and surroundings; knowing that your environment is alive and reacts to your awareness; being commander of your own form and reality; pleasure in being alive. 

     You might serve this dish to achieving the awareness that life does not happen to you; ending internal isolation by merging with the divine and bringing goals to fruition through focused attention and activity leading to a happy, secure, abundant life.  

Stars of the Dish

The following are the subtle energy signatures featured in this soup

Beetroot: this penetrating vegetable opens the door to your inner realms, including past-life recall, family linage, cellar memory, and supports the conscious mind in exploring many aspects of the self previously unknown, restoring and integrating these aspects for use in daily life.

Beet Greens: the leaves of the beet plant can help you keep with your long-term goals with faith, perseverance, and endurance.

Red Cabbage: helps heal the sensation of loss of success or abundance and feelings that because you didn’t succeed in the past you cannot succeed in the future. This vegetable supports the need for individuality and a life-path direction informed by soul. 

During sauerkraut fermentations, lactic acid bacteria change vegetable sugars to acids and flavor compounds. Energetically fermentation brings the vibrational signature of understanding the distinctions between the parts and the whole, the word ‘phase’ comes to mind which suggests the distinction between the invisible cycle and the visible phase through which the cycle is manifested. This essential paradox, which leads the mind beyond the frame of senses, is that cycle, the whole, the invisible but yet contains visible phases--nevertheless the visible comes out of and falls back into the invisible—like being born and dying and being born again.  This energy is unending and uninterrupted, permeates all things, and is shown in which flowering in decay and fermentation, indestructibility in the midst of destruction.

Corn: brings fertility and supports alignment with the earth’s energies, opening you to the cornucopia that life offers and providing an earthly groundedness. A sacred plant of Native Americans, it ushers in abundance on all levels, especially the joy and pleasure associates with the feminine. Corn supports increased creativity and birthing the projects that result, and is useful for fostering friendships and associations based on mutual support and growth by promoting the synergy needed to achieve goals larger than your own.   

Jerusalem Artichoke/Sunchoke: this species of sunflower creates a sense of relating to and understanding what is occurring on Mother Earth politically, geologically, and emotionally, and it brings a greater awareness of Earth as Gaia, a living being, as it nourishes the desire to live in harmony with all of creation.  

Fingerling Potato: brings a deep awareness of your roots and supports connection to your family and soul group. It promotes the desire to create healthy communities by supporting farmer’s markets, small local businesses, restaurants, musicians, artisans, authors, and so on.   

Barley: stimulates the root chakra, which anchors groundedness and an understanding of what abundance means to you such that you can enjoy your earthly experiences more. This grain also helps you access past-life and sublimated current-life memories and eases any aggravation around these issues. It can bring awareness to constructive experiences, past or present, where you did something positive and created benefit, and can draw your attention to some event that may have been uncomfortable but helped you learn an important lesson, and the result was valuable to your soul’s evolution.

Onion: helps direct energy and intention to where you want it to go. A focal point.

This class is instructed by Candice Covington Author of Vibrational Nutrition  

 

Vibrational Nutrition is an approach to food and wellness that focuses on the energy or frequency of the foods we consume, rather than just their nutritional content. It is based on the idea that everything, including our bodies and the foods we eat, has its own vibrational signature. By choosing foods that resonate with specific outcomes, we can impact our inner and outer world.

Because we are vibrational beings in a constant state of flux, a significant key to our well-being and growth is the enhancement of our desired energetic patterns. In other words, we can purposefully introduce outside vibrational energies, such as those found in whole-foods, to entrain our own natural signatures or vibrational patterns. By aligning ourselves with foods that match our intentions, we can effectively create states of being.

When we engage with nature, we are connecting to a mirror reflection of ourselves. The cycles and occurrences in the natural world are not separate from us; they are intimately tied to our inner lives. These phenomena speak to us—they are our stories, our experiences. In this way, nature becomes a means of awakening, offering us insights and wisdom that help us discover and refine our own paths.

Carl Jung, the renowned psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, offers a profound perspective on this idea. He writes:

"All the mythological processes of nature—such as summer and winter, the phases of the moon, the rainy seasons, and so forth—are in no sense allegories of these objective occurrences; rather, they are symbolic expressions of the inner, unconscious drama of the psyche, which becomes accessible to man's consciousness by way of projection. That is, they are mirrored in the events of nature." (Collected Works, Volume IX, pg. 6)

Many cultures shared the belief in the past that animals, especially pigs, should not be butchered when the moon was waning or the meat would shrink too much when preparing. Instead, when the moon was waxing. You might not be able to control the moon cycle of how your pork is culled but you can lean into this energy when you prepare this dish. Mindfully cooking during a waxing moon cycle. Or any time you want to create gain.

Photo Credit / Time & Date 

The pig is an aspect of the Great Goddess, associated with fertility, the moon and cyclical living, specifically, a progression of actions that create, expansion and gain.

 Marija Gimbutas, an archaeologist and anthropologist, is known for her research into the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of ‘Old Europe’. In her chapter, The Pregnant Vegetation Goddesses, she explores--the pig being a significant animal to the goddesses who preside over green growth and things that wax or grow full. 

‘The fast-growing body of the pig will have been compared to corn growing and ripening, so that its soft fats apparently came to symbolize the earth itself, causing the pig to become a sacred animal probably no later than 6000 BC.'  The goddess of vegetation sometimes wears a pig mask. Sometimes the pig figurine, fleshy and round, is scored with traces of grain pressed into the clay or is graced with earrings. The prehistoric goddess of vegetation dates back to Neolithic times and is predecessor to Demeter, the Greek goddess of fertility and harvest, whose temple at Eleusis was built in the second century BCE’. 1

 The waxing crescent phase follows the new moon, and it's visually characterized by a thin sliver of illumination on the right side of the moon. This phase is the energy of: growth, intention, and hope, priming you for what you wish to achieve in your upcoming cycle.  

 New Moon Pork / Pork Loin Braised in Milk

"A new moon teaches gradualness and deliberation and how one gives birth to oneself slowly. Patience with small details makes perfect a large work, like the universe" – Rumi

Photo Credit / Seasons & Suppers 

Tasty Bits 

About 1 pound pork loin

1 head garlic - split in half horizontally--leave sheath on

A bunch of fresh mixed herbs – sage, thyme, parsley, rosemary or whatever you have!       

3 to 4 bay leaves

1 small lemon

2 cups milk - full fat

½ cup rich vegetable or chicken stock

Splash or two of white wine – optional, something creamy such as a chardonnay (about ¼ cup)

3 to 4 tablespoons neutral oil / butter mixture--equal quantity  

Sea salt and black pepper – to taste

Freshly grated Romano cheese

 Narrative: this dish helps you realize you are capable and supports accessing unused aspects of Self. Daring to try new things that seem impossibly hard (even if you stumble, you keep going), seeing new solutions to difficulties, pulling from your community to support large goals.

   You might serve this dish when you are in the growth phase of something and it would be easy to stop before reaching fruition. Helping you feel in your bones the rewards that will come from putting in the time and effort to arrive at your goal. Ultimately creating a rich and satisfying life where your desires are fulfilled.

 Actions

 Dry the pork (allow to air dry or pat with paper towels) and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat, then add the butter- oil mixture, when glistening, brown the pork on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes on each surface. Sear ½ of the garlic-head, face down for about 60 seconds.  

 Place pork in casserole dish that has a lid or 8x8 baking pan and cover with foil, add garlic face down, all liquids—milk, broth, and wine. Add herbs of choice, and lemon rind (retain the fruit) and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes. Internal temp should be 145 F, wrap in foil and allow to rest.       

 Curds

Remove herbs and garlic (set aside) and strain the liquid into a large bowl. Left in the strainer will be soft curds. Transfer the curds to a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper (if needed) and top with the lemon pulp to taste.  

Plate the pork and offer the curds, roast garlic and Romano cheese.

Fun Fact

Parmesan is made from cow's milk, while Romano is made from sheep's milk. This difference in milk source gives the cheeses different flavors. Parmesan is nutty and slightly sweet, while Romano is saltier and sharper.   

Energetic Food Signatures  

Cow Milk: embodies the soothing energies of the moon and has been said to offer the gifts of soma, the ambrosic drops of the moon—meaning you should read its energetic gifts archetypally: it is abundant, fertile, soothing, creative, illuminating, nourishing, and fostering.

Sheep Cheese: brings the energy to create the resources that makes your physical life comfortable—food, warmth, and shelter. The basis of all and the safety and physical security needed to thrive. Sheep’s milk encourages you to take stock of the general security and stability of your life. If any aspects such as finances, health, or home need to be shored up, this energy will provide, the creative ingenuity and strength to do just that. From this place of security, you will have the fertile ground needed to plant anything into your life you would like to grow.

Pork: encourages you to actively work with your own intelligence, seeking ways of becoming smarter and expanding your personal knowledge. The knowledge of pork is especially helpful for creating material wealth and a comfortable physical life.

Bay Leaf: deeply energizing for the subtle body, bay leaf clears blocked or stagnate energies and renew vitality and energy flow.

Black Pepper: promotes living by your personal code of conduct and supports being precise and a specialist in whatever endeavor you’re currently exploring.

Lemon: Harnesses your inner-sun, allowing you to tap into your full intellect using this energy to harness will, inner-authority and set goals.

Hi! My name is Kimberly Jones, and I am a Licensed Massage Therapist!

I grew up on a dairy in a teeny-tiny Texas town; flat farmlands and wheat fields are a major contrast to the mountainous beauty of Utah. This is the perfect place for me to enjoy my love of The Outdoors, but I will always hold a special place in my heart for my hometown.

I have always appreciated anything wholesome—from fresh milk to Hallmark movies. Other than Massage Therapy, I have deep set passions for cooking and culinary creation, coffee, nature, and spending time with my husband and my dog and cat.

My spirit animal is the black bear. Of the many qualities of the black bear, they boast INTROSPECTION and HEALING. In my massage practice, I value cultivating an atmosphere for you to do exactly that. Take a few deep breaths, breathe into any remaining tension as we close our sessions, and see what else you can let go. Step back into the world a better version of your true self.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and hope you give me the opportunity to show you just how beautifully massage therapy can touch your body, mind, and soul.

65 minute treatment / 95 minute treatment  $45/$65

Skin Support: this oil is rich in Lauric acid, a medium-chain saturated fatty acid, makes up close to 50 percent of coconut oil. Lauric acid converts to monolaurin, a compound able to destroy viruses and kill harmful bacteria and protozoa. Before sun exposure became something to be afraid of, coconut oil was the go-to remedy because often oils produced from plants that grow in tropical areas contain compounds that protect the skin from the sun’s rays, allowing natural vitamin D formation to take place in the skin layers. Coconut oil reduces the potential for stretch marks, as this oil helps the skin grow and expand without tearing. It is a saturated oil that has film-forming properties that protect the skin.

Featured Spa Treatment 🍁 Autumn Alchemy Massage

Autumn, in the turn of the seasons, embodies the energetic pattern of restraint, separation, and refinement. This time of year, also holds the vibrational pattern of eliminating what is unnecessary and storing up what is needed for the next phase, winter (rest, introspection, gestation). Autumn is a time for our energy to be drawn inward; it is also a time for evolution through reduction. This means shifting forms or transmutation of some sort.

Autumn offers the energy imprint to form new behaviors, such as being methodical, discerning, scrupulous, accepting, calm, disciplined, honorable, precise, and contently inward.

Your body is bathed in warm apple seed oil enhanced with the heating spices of: cardamom, black pepper, orange, and clove, relieving muscle and joint pain

The capable hands of your therapist, ‘sculpts’ the body by smoothing away any congestion and disorganization in the muscle tissue, using slow non-invasive pressure, melting into the muscle gradually increasing pressure until the muscle tension gives way to supple tissue. Your practitioner behaves like a sculptor by smoothing away what is not the essence of a supple human form.

 Autumn Affirmation

As the bare bones of a tree are revealed in Autumn, when all of its foliage has fallen away, so too is one’s true nature revealed in the energy of autumn, as untruths and projections that have camouflaged the true self also fall away.
