ENERGY IN MOTION

We feel emotions all day, every day. An eeeee-motion is simply energy in motion. This energy wants to move and flow through you, not get held up and be stuck. We are meant to move and use our bodies, strengthen and challenge it. When we move, especially in natural terrain, we keep our creative channels open. Our emotions can flow more easily. With movement, we grow and stay connected to our “self”. We release chemicals that help us process life situations more peacefully and promote awareness that helps us stay connected to our inner bodies. This is life itself. This is you. The trillions of cells that we all can channel. We are all athletes. We are all life!

MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE

KJERSTI BUAAS SPLITBOARDING

Movement to me is not just about fitness. To me, it is a fundamental part of being human. It’s a holistic concept, where body awareness meets self-discovery. Mind + Body + Spirit = Connection. Movement can be explored and enjoyed in so many ways. And it should. Many of us think about training and movement as a chore. Something we have to do. Often related to losing weight, looking a certain way, and so on. It’s often externally motivated. Sometimes even related to as something we “don’t have time for” - I admit that I have thought about it that way. “I just have to get through this” or “I don’t have the time” -But funny thing is, over time, I have learned and experienced that nothing that is treated as a means to an end will ever persist. It’s impossible. It’s like chasing a rainbow. For something to last over time we need to open up and allow ourselves to enjoy it. To have fun with it. It needs to become internally motivated. From the source of joy itself. So, I quit seeing movement as a chore and started treating it as a gift. The gift of being able to move my body, not taking that for granted, as many people cannot do that. And we will all have a different approach to what feels good for us, for our body. Different needs. To me, natural terrain helps bring in an aspect of diversity, so I often take my movement outside. Movement is not just good for the body, it’s also great for expanding and exploring the mind. Movement is kindness, to yourself, those around you, and to nature. Because when we move we tend to be more at ease, more relaxed in our minds. My craving for how I wanna move changes every day. I try to listen to what my body needs. Some days I want to run. Some I want to climb, dance, do yoga, snowboard, walk slowly... skateboard, surf, garden, swim... Taking time to fully feel and connect with the body and mind. When I move my body I feel alive, so I make sure to set aside time for it every day. What kind of movement do you relate to? A specific sport? The outdoors? I would love to hear your thoughts 💭

Meditasjon for nybegynnere - Nesepust

Mange har spurt om jeg kan lage noen introvideor til meditasjon. Denne videoen bygger videre på den første videoen i serien «learn to meditate» og viser hvorfor og hvordan en bruker nesepust i meditasjon. Som nybegynner anbefales det å øve i opp til 15 minutter to ganger om dagen. Når du har øynene lukket er det enklere å fokusere og effekten blir bedre. Prøv teknikken et par ganger i stillhet for deg selv først. Siden de fleste av oss lever aktive liv er jeg er opptatt av å vise meditasjonsteknikker som du enkelt kan ta med deg inn i ulike aktiviteter gjennom dagen 🤸‍♀️ Jeg elsker tekniker som har fokus på pust og tilstedeværelse her og nå. Når du øver på grunnteknikkene i meditasjon i sittende stilling først vil du enklere kunne bruke de aktivt for å takle stress og negative tanker som kommer med en travel hverdag. Økt bevissthet og evnen til å holde fokus vil kunne øke prestasjon, forebygge skader, hjelpe deg til å være kreativ og berike forholdet ditt til andre og naturen 🏄‍♀️ Det beste og enkleste med meditasjon er å kunne kjenne indre glede selv når det er kaos og blæs som verst på toppan 🏔 Spør meg gjerne om du har spørsmål 🙏🏻

Verdens Enkleste Meditasjon

Mange har spurt om jeg kan lage en introvideo til meditasjon for nybegynnere, så her har du verdens enkleste form for meditasjon. Jeg er opptatt av at meditasjon skal være en brobygger slik at du kan ta med deg det du lærer inn i ulike aktiviteter gjennom dagen, nettopp fordi vi ikke lever stillesittende liv. Når du øver på grunnteknikkene i meditasjon i sittende stilling vil du enklere kunne bruke de aktivt for å takle stress og negative tanker som kommer med en travel hverdag. Økt bevissthet og evnen til å holde fokus vil kunne øke prestasjon, forebygge skader, hjelpe deg til å være kreativ og berike forholdet ditt til andre og naturen. Det beste og enkleste med meditasjon er å kunne kjenne indre glede selv når det er kaos og blæs som verst på toppan .

Yummy Vegan Curry Stew

STEW FOR 3-4 PERSONS

STEW FOR 3-4 PERSONS

All you need to know to make this yummy, vegan curry stew. It takes about 45 lovely minutes to make and it is so filling and worth it. Boil the rice when you want. The one I made took about 20 minutes. Good luck & enjoy this flavorful curry stew :)

What you need

  • 1 Yellow Onion

  • 2 Cloves of garlic (preferably organic

  • 2 Medium-sized sweet potatoes

  • 1 Box organic chickpeas

  • 1 Medium-sized Broccoli

  • Handful Spinach

  • 5 dl Organic Coconut Milk

  • 4-5 (25 g) tsp Red Curry paste (or your favorite curry spice blend)

  • 1 Lime

  • 1/2 Lemon

  • 3-4 tsp Soy Sauce (to your liking) Can also use Brags Liquid Aminos (vegan, gluten-free) or Coconut amino acids for a less salty, sweeter taste

  • Extra spicy: Chimayo Chili or other chili pepper (I like the stew spicy)

  • 2 Carrots

  • 3 dl Jasmine Rice

  • 1 Cast iron skillet (can us normal also but cast iron promotes more depth in flavor)

  • 1 Pot (preferably cast iron)

    What you do

  • Chop broccoli in nice, small florets. Set them aside.

  • Finely chop garlic & onion and set aside.

  • Heat up the skillet with a good amount (2-3 tbs) of vegan coconut butter or oil (rape oil, avocado or other high temp oil is also okay)

  • Add garlic & onion to skillet. Let it get a golden color. Then turn down the heat so the garlic does not burn.

  • Take the cast iron pot and add the coconut milk and use medium heat to get it up to a boil. I used the water in the can, but if you prefer to only use the cream and adding fresh water, that is off course okay :) Just make the equivalent amount of water. Add 2 tsp curry paste to the coconut pot and let it simmer

  • Drain any water off the chickpeas and add them to the skillet. Turn up the heat to medium. Add 2 tsp curry paste and stir in with the peas so everything is covered in the flavors from the spice. Let it sizzle on medium heat for a few minutes.

  • Add the broccoli to the pot with the coconut cream. Turn up the heat to medium.

  • Add the small squared cut sweet potatoes to the skillet - ad in add the rest of the curry paste (1 tsp) and make sure you get the paste on all the potatoes for maximum flavor. Let it cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes (or however long it takes for the potatoes to cook through)

  • Turn off the iron skillet and carefully move everything into the pot with a ladle (you don’t want a mash so make sure you don’t squeeze the potatoes and chickpeas)

  • Let it simmer on low heat and thicken for 7-10 minutes, half-covered with a lid. Make sure the heat is on low so nothing burns at the bottom

  • Slice the carrots and add them to the end of the cooking time. You want them to have a bite and a crunch at the end.

  • Add the spinach at the very end

  • Add half a squeezed lime and the soy sauce to the pot. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes

  • Serve hot with rice and fresh herbs like cilantro, squeeze of lemon and lime.
