🥣 Sweet potato stew, cold plunging, sound therapy

Happy Monday my friend,

🌋 My wife and I are coming to the end of our glorious honeymoon in Maui and it’s been nothing short of magical. Did you know Maui is home to the world’s largest dormant volcano?! Here are some other fun facts about this precious island.

🌳 BE THE CHANGE: In 2015, a young innovator named Felix Finkbeiner from Germany launched "Plant-for-the-Planet," aiming to plant 1 Trillion trees globally to create a positive atmosphere. Starting at just nine years old, Felix’s movement has grown into a worldwide mission, with over 100M trees already planted. His journey proves that age is no barrier to making a monumental environmental impact.

🍽️ RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Warm up your evenings with this Vegan Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew. Packed with hearty lentils, tender sweet potatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices, this dish is both comforting and nutritious. It’s rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, making it a perfect meal for a cozy night in. Plus, it’s easy to prepare and great for leftovers!

🌾 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT: Amaranth is the ancient grain making a modern comeback. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, amaranth was a staple in Aztec diets and is now celebrated for its no-gluten, and heart-healthy properties. It’s also a crop that often requires minimal resources to thrive.

🥰 MIND: Did you know that practicing gratitude can rewire your brain for positivity? Studies have shown that regularly writing down things you’re grateful for can boost happiness levels by increasing endorphins. They reduce stress and even improve sleep. Whether it's jotting down three things daily or sharing gratitude with a friend, this simple habit can have profound effects on mental well-being.

🏋️ BODY: Cold water immersion, or "cold plunging," is gaining popularity for its surprising health benefits. Exposing your body to cold water can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and even boost your mood by triggering endorphin release. From ice baths to cold showers, this invigorating practice is a refreshing way to enhance physical and mental resilience.

🔊 SPIRIT: Studying the power of sound healing, ancient practices like using Tibetan singing bowls and gongs are making a modern resurgence. Research suggests that sound therapy can reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve emotional clarity. By tuning into these vibrational frequencies, many people find a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.

Why Creatine Is For You

Creatine isn’t only for building muscle. It powers the body and mind, no matter your lifestyle. It’s one of the most researched supplements in the world with over 66k studies—and for good reason.

🔋 Your Extra Battery: Creatine plays a crucial role in boosting your energy “battery,” phosphocreatine. This helps regenerate ATP, the molecule which fuels everything from your toughest workouts to staying sharp during long workdays.

I take creatine virtually every day and it’s improved both physical performance and mental clarity.

🌟 Muscle Memory: Ora’s Next-Level Creatine: Ora’s Muscle Memory takes creatine to the next level with an additional blend of ingredients that support both mind and body:

• D-Ribose: Replenishes ATP, boosts energy, and speeds recovery, keeping you fueled for workouts and daily life.

• Taurine: Supports hydration, and focus while promoting healthy blood circulation and easing post-workout soreness.

This ISN’T your average creatine—Ora’s Muscle Memory is for anyone aiming to boost daily performance, whether hitting the gym or powering through a busy schedule.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in sharing their personal experiences! So many ECL readers have direct experiences to support the brain’s ability to do what mainstream science considers ‘supernatural’.

To those who answered “no”, I have to assume you have not given the Telepathy Tapes a consideration. If you think the whole thing is staged, I’d love to hear your thoughts – just reply to this email.
