🍲 Stir fry, telepathy, sore muscles

Happy Monday my friend,

I wonder what percent of the population thinks telepathy is a bogus concept. I wonder how many would still think that after fairly considering the evidence in the podcast mentioned below. If that’s not your thing, we’re also covering recipes, inspiration, and tips for mental, physical, and spiritual health.

🤠 BE THE CHANGE: Last year marked 91 years of music, philanthropy, and activism from the one and only Willie Nelson. Besides outlaw country classics, Nelson contributed much to environmental causes: by way of charitable donations, speaking out for and supporting farmers, establishing Farm Aid and promoting animal welfare. Read about his near century of “being the change” here!

🥘 RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Time to return to cauliflower as an Asian cuisine classic - with this tastebud-popping Cauliflower Stir Fry! Cauliflower has been the premier healthy vegetable for years now, thanks to its incredible versatility: pizza crust, cauliflower wings, and more – but your mouth will still water over the flavors in this healthy recipe.

🌰 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: “Almonds are a (healthy) girl’s best friend!” – and they could be anyone’s superfood friend. High in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, free radical-fighting antioxidants, fiber, and more, almonds take the cake for health benefits: enhancing brain function, fighting inflammation, and beyond. A little goes a long way: eat sparingly, as research shows almonds require TONS of water to grow! Look for those using more conscious practices, otherwise may be better to skip this one due to its eco-impact.

🔮 MIND: An incredible podcast about mind-bending capabilities in non-speaking autistic children is taking the world by storm. Called ‘The Telepathy Tapes’ podcast, the scientific and documentary-like episodes explore the question: is telepathy real? You’ll have to give it a listen and make your mind up for yourself – no pun intended!

🏋️ BODY: Whether you’re just keeping up on regular exercise, or have big “gains” goals, it’s tempting to think that pushing pain limits could bring faster results for physical health. But is it really productive? This article, complete with opinions from sports medicine professionals, explores why exercising while sore is not always good— plus tips on what types of pain are normal, what to do when you experience them, and more.

🤖 SPIRIT: The mystery of where consciousness comes from, the seat of the “soul,” is one of the greatest spiritual questions of our time. It’s even asked by scientists— who want to use quantum computers to study it! Researchers say this would involve physically linking and entangling a human brain with a computer – and would require invasive procedures. For the record, I am not endorsing this type of research, but “merging” the mind with computer consciousness might tell us something about the human spirit that we don’t yet understand.

🥕Know EXACTLY where your food comes from

In recent years, we’ve all experienced grocery stores being out of different foods and having to hunt for alternatives. These shortages are caused by various events such as supply bottlenecks, transportation issues, weather delays, labor troubles, and disease. 

And food prices continue to rise (and rise…) for the same reasons!

There has never been a better time to consider growing your own food.

My longtime partners at Grow Your Own Vegetables are hosting an 8-part Online Event called the Joyful Gardener Docuseries starting TOMORROW that shows you how to get started and grow the FRESHEST, most nutrient-rich foods right at home and experience the wonderful JOY of gardening at the same time.

You can attend it for absolutely free.

Growing your food is a great decision because you:

• Know where your food comes from and how it was grown

• Save money on your groceries by having food readily available

• Have food to eat no matter what happens in the world

• Reduce your stress-levels by experiencing the JOY of gardening

You don’t have to be an expert gardener or have a lot of available garden space. This event is perfect for you if you are dreaming of starting a vegetable garden, are already an avid gardener and want to double your harvest, or are anywhere in between!

Every episode of the Joyful Gardener Docuseries is GARDENING GOLD and helps you to grow food with ease. This event has already helped thousands of gardeners grow their own food successfully and abundantly in past years. Grab your free virtual ticket and let it help YOU this year!
