Balancing the Charkas

When our chakras are imbalanced, we may experience “dis-ease” in that area of the body, plus related psychosomatic symptoms such as hip problems, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, heart conditions, mucus, headaches, or brain fog. Thanks to ingredients such as grounding root vegetables, sultry cinnamon, empowering turmeric, heart-expanding leafy greens, nutrient-dense spirulina, and enlightening beets, these soups are delicious plant medicine.

Recipe

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add onion and ginger, and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Add stock, bring to a boil, and then add cooked butternut squash. Stir in coconut milk, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cover with lid, reduce to low heat, and let simmer, minutes. Blend soup to a smooth purée using an immersion blender, or let it cool and purée it in batches with a regular blender. Serve garnished with pumpkin seeds.
