Touching The Trail Podcast

Let's talk about tea, because while the US may still be a coffee culture, tea is becoming more popular and is a staple of many people's daily lives. I am an avid tea drinker and have been so for probably longer than I have been a coffee drinker. For me, tea is a much gentler experience and one that provides more overall benefits than coffee. One of the main attributes of tea that I love is the fact that it can so easily be a positive personal ritual, an active meditation, that benefits me each time I take the time to focus on the process. Today I make the case that tea can and should be an active meditation for all of us to center us in the moment. Join me as I delve into tea's vibrant history and its numerous positive and negative health effects. I hope we can all be better from this discussion.AUM,Jarod ContrerasSources:tea.co.uk/tea-a-brief-historymightyleaf.com/history-of-teanam.ac.uk/explore/opium-war-1839-1842nytimes.com/2015/10/06/upshot/what-the-evidence-tells-us-about-tea.htmllivestrong.com/article/4
