QuotesTim featured this 1× · 2025

“There is no requirement that enlightenment be painful, unless you are trying to avoid pain. Then the universe has no choice but to teach you through pain. One of the universe’s strategies is to put directly before you the things you are trying to avoid. It is possible to grow and learn in a way that is loving to yourself and others. All you do is make a commitment that you want it that way. We have had many of our clients phrase it this way: ‘I’m willing to see and handle anything I need to be free, and I would like my lessons in a friendly, loving way for me and others around me.’” — Conscio

At least one of the 18 chemicals was found in every baby food, prenatal supplement, human breast milk, yogurt, and ice cream product that we tested, to name only a few categories.

Brewing tea removes lead from water

“Brewing tea removes lead from water.” “In a new study, Northwestern University researchers demonstrated that brewing tea naturally adsorbs heavy metals like lead and cadmium, effectively filtering dangerous contaminants out of drinks. Heavy metal ions stick to, or adsorb to, the surface of the tea leaves, where they stay trapped.” Not all tea is created equal, so click the link to read the details.— Tim Ferriss
