I was stressed and tired tonight so I wrote this quick little thing to help me ground with minimal effort.
Cook your pasta as instructed. Right before it’s finished cooking, hold your spoon into the boiling water. Envision your anger, anxiety, and stress flowing from your body, through the spoon, into the water.
Say: As I drain this pasta, the harmful energies within me will be drained from my body and mind.
Drain and rinse the pasta. Stir in a dash of salt to cleanse any residual negativity that may have been left from the boiling water.
As you add your pasta into your meal say: As I eat, the properties of Earth from whence this wheat was grown will fill me and stabilize me.
Feel yourself becoming calmer and more centered as you eat. By the end of your meal you should feel relaxed and at peace.
