Seduction is often negatively associated with being lead astray towards sexual provocation. Today is an introduction towards shifting the idea of seduction towards the positive and encouraging kindness using simple practices. Using the power of pleasure and grace, let's make being kind to others a super sexy experience!
Here are your 3 Gems :
1. Smile all day, even when you are alone. Be in the world and serve in the special way that YOU do. Be the LIGHT (you experienced this yesterday) and be the example of kindness and compassion in all your forms during the day. We take on many forms from lover to friend to student to boss to mother to son and everything in between in our day. Remain kind in all circumstances. Notice how smiling creates a calmness in the face and a softness in the palate of the mouth. Smiling also softens the body and opens the heart space to give and receive compassion naturally and effortlessly. Smile to strangers and smile to friends. Just keep smiling. The whole day will be filled with smiles. Notice who smiles back and also notice the kind exchanges that are created by this simple human gesture. Kindness is contagious!

2. Be mindful of eating in a kind way today. For this day, eliminate animal foods and processed products. Be super kind to your body and treat it as a super seductive temple to be nurtured and nourished. Eat fresh vegetables, delicious fruits, nuts and simple whole foods. Write in your journal what you are eating and breathe kindness into your body and into your food.
There are many options for eating to explore. A kind approach to eating and nourishing your body is alluring. Alicia Silverstone's book, The Kind Diet, is a beautiful reference that is alignment with this idea of seduction and kindness and eating yummy delicious foods.

Here is one of my favorite recipes for a sweet dessert chock full of good-for-you kindness that are fondly referred to by my friends, family and loves as THE BLISS BALLS.
Alicia Silverstone’s Raw Balls (aka the BLISS BALLS)
Makes 10 to 12 balls.
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup raw carob powder or raw cacao
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup whole almonds
1/2 cup almond butter
shredded unsweetened coconut for rolling
Place the walnuts in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. Add the dates, and pulse until well combined with the nuts. Add the carob powder/cacao, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until mixture is thick and smooth. Add the almonds, and pulse a few times until combined; you want them to remain in crunchy chunks. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in almond butter with a sturdy spoon.
Form the mixture into golf-ball-size balls with your hands. Roll in shredded unsweetened coconut. Place in a sealed container in the freezer until hardened.

3. An excerpt of a poem by Master Shantideva to write in your journal:
Every ounce of pain I see
Comes from trying to serve myself,
And any happiness I see
Comes from serving others.
Comes from trying to serve myself,
And any happiness I see
Comes from serving others.
Taking care of others and being kind to others is full-on seduction! It starts with the simple: helping the elder across the street, holding the door open for a stranger, stepping aside and allowing someone else to sit, offering gratitude to the grumpy cashier, petting the dog. There are a million opportunities in the day to serve others. Smile and enjoy it. Your happiness depends on helping other people.
Write in your journal what comes up for you in response to this poem. What does your day look like when you serve others? How do you feel? Where can you do better?
Until tomorrow.....keep smiling

P.S. There is intrigue to seduction and though this word is often identified with sexuality, consider the possibility of temptation as a spiritual practice and be seduced and allured into kindness. Now that's super sexy! I'm smiling (and winking) at You! :)
