Many people have different lifestyles, but do they serve our divinity? Shifting into a path of conscious living can be a challenging yet beautiful process; it is a way of life rooted in the now, love, and acceptance. In this episode of the chattabox, Raul Dhanani (@rauldhanani), shares how he fell into a path of conscious living and how that changed his relationship with self by allowing him to let go. As a plant-based culinary alchemist in St. Maarten, Raul explains how his journey adopting a plant-based diet was deeply rooted in his body's needs rather than identity culture. This gave him the space to listen to his cravings and use them as inspiration. As a lover of international cuisine, Raul highlights how the diverse flavors in St. Maarten and having access to high-quality products locally influence the combinations he develops in his food lab. He shares how some of the courses he took while abroad helped him take plant-based cuisine to another level. We discuss how yoga plays a key role in rounding out his daily practice and how others can walk this path if they feel the call to.
