Meditations from Cornwall
Over the coming winter months Nicki will be working on another guided meditation cd. The meditations on the cd will be written in situ at particular places in Cornwall, natural sounds will also be recorded and blended into the meditations. Having been born in Cornwall Nicki senses and feels the magic that this special place has to offer. Many people visit Cornwall on holiday and Nicki feels these meditations will be a way to reconnect with Cornwall, relaxing and taking one's energy bodies into the vibration of specific places in Cornwall. The background sounds that will accompany the meditations will be a mixture of natural sounds, drums, singing bowls, rattles and water, combined they will be quite powerful meditations. To reserve a copy of the new cd contact Nicki with your details.
Still a few places left on the wednesday monthly crystal group. The group meets monthly 7pm-9pm and covers healing with crystals, different crystal vibrations, healing others and yourself, crystal meditations, chakra, colour and first aid crystals. The groups are ongoing, there is no set time period, individuals gently working at their own pace to bring in positive changes on all levels. Crystal meditations done at the end of each meeting to centre and relax each person. If interested contact Nicki. Also if you have a group of people in your area and would like Nicki to come along and run a crystal group, then let her know.
At the moment the website is going through a number of small changes (just like us all) and i am currently working on the idea to bring in a discussion forum. The idea of the forum will be so people are able to connect and be able to express their experiences with crystals but also with the guided meditations. I have people recalling their wonderful and opening experiences when working with the crystal guided meditations and i feel it would be useful for all to read these experiences as we all learn from each other. If you have any ideas on what else you would like to be on the forum then let me know. Also new to the site is the shop. The shop has specialised crystal gift sets and meditation cd's for sale. All the gift sets are personally made up by myself (filling each gift set with lots of love and gratitued) and sent out by first class post. If you want a particular gift set making up then contact me and i will see if i can help. Sending lots of love Nickix
Here is a great recipe for any leftover courgettes or marrow you may have. Once made it looks like branston pickle and is great with cheese, with chilli or curry or jacket spuds.
Courgette Chutney
4lb courgettes
6 onions (small)
2lb dark soft sugar
2 lemons (grated rind and juice)
2tbsp ground coriander
1tbsp cumin
1tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
2tspn salt
1 litre red wine vinegar
Chop it all up, place all ingredients in a large copper pan and gently simmer for 2 hours. This makes about 4 jars and so if you want to double it up that’s fine. When cooked place in sterilised jars and seal with lid. Keep in cupboard for up to a year and once opened keep in the fridge.
Pumpkin soup
If you find you have a lot of pumpkin flesh left over after making the Halloween lanterns, then use it up and make some delicious pumpkin soup.
Take your pumpkin flesh; remove the seeds and chop up (rough).You can add some finely chopped carrot too.
Place the flesh in a saucepan with about one litre of vegetable or chicken stock (stock cubes are fine).
Add 1oz of butter and some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil and then simmer until the pumpkin is soft, then strain a little stock off from the saucepan and using a food blender blend the pumpkin and remaining stock. Place the blended pumpkin into a clean saucepan, add salt and pepper and pour in about 6-8fl oz of pouring cream. Single cream is fine or whipping but to have a real creamy taste, use double cream. Add the cream just before serving and a pinch of nutmeg on the top.
Serve with some hot bread and maybe a little French cheese!
Basic bread mix
2lb strong flour (bread flour)
2oz marg or butter
Pinch salt
1oz sugar
2oz yeast (fresh)
2 pints milk/warm water
Mix the flour, salt and marg into a bowl. Put the yeast, sugar and milk/warm water into a jug and mix. Leave the jug in a warm place for about 15/20 mins until the yeast starts to froth. Add liquid to the flour etc and then cover the dough with a tea towel and place in a warm area for 15mins to grow. After 15 mins take the dough and knead it for 5mins and then shape the dough, place on baking tray and cover again. Leave to prove (grow) for another 15mins and then place in an oven for 10/15 mins to cook. Electric oven 170 degrees.
