The Chopra Center
Out in Cali', we called The Bliss Balls our "Basti Balls" (as in Basti Enemas). They helped keep things moving right along if you know what I'm sayin'. For anyone who has a sluggish digestive system, these little balls of bliss will keep things regular and right on track. I actually missed them terribly when we left, I'm so glad to see the Recipe in The Chopra Newsletter. Prepping the ingredients now, and getting ready to rock and roll a little bit of heaven. Try them, you'll love 'em.

- Since ghee won’t burn at high temperatures, it’s great for sautéing. It also doesn’t have to be refrigerated.
- Ghee is an excellent from of fat for the body, and is especially beneficial for the liver, kidneys, and brain.
