Maxwell’s

Maxwell's 148
As a yoga teacher, for years I have been teaching the value of eating mindfully, denying the cultural bad habits of treating food as the enemy and granting it the respect and honor it deserves.  Last month, I had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant that embodies these teachings.  Maxwell’s in Natick, MA.  Mitchell Maxwell, founder and head chef at Maxwell’s, is fulfilling his karmic life purpose as a chef, preparing and serving food as nourishment to the bodies and souls of his patrons.

I ordered a simple kobe burger, and started with an appetizer of cool sesame noodles, finished with an almond marscapone cheese torte.  But, I dined with five friends, and we were compelled to dine “family style” and pass the plates around the table.  I tasted many items from the menu and enjoyed everything to the fullest.  However, unlike any other fine dining experience where my tastebuds usually overide the size of my stomach, at Maxwell’s I only ate until I was satisfied, not craving a bite more than my body needed.  Despite the fullness of the flavors and the delight of my tastebuds, something stopped me from wanting more than was nourishing.  I felt complete, satisfied, and took home enough for dinner the next night.  I have never experienced this phenomenon in a restaurant before.

A few days later I had the pleasure of offering a chakra reading to Mitchell Maxwell, and I learned quickly why my dining experience  at his restaurant (on an energetic level) was so fabulous.  Mitchell is a born chef.  Everyone has a dominant chakra, and sometimes my clients reveal to me a secondary dominant chakra.  The dominant chakra is the one that holds the energy most closely related to that individual’s divine purpose.  A secondary dominant chakra is one that feeds and supports the energy of the primary dominant chakra.  Mitchell’s dominant chakra, the root, and secondary dominant, the heart, support his life purpose to nourish people with food, provide sustenance and support on the physical nutritional level.

If you live anywhere in the New England area, Maxwell’s Restaurant and Mitchell’s loving support to your digestive needs is an experience you cannot miss!
