#23 -Zen Tea Master WuDe : The Simple Things In Life, Meditation & Nature

“Nature is always speaking to us and tea helps us understand what she’s saying”
Get enlightened by this thoughtful conversation between Nathalie and WudDe Tea Master from Global Tea Hut.
Along with an in-depth discussion about tea's effects, brewing methods, and advice for beginners getting into tea, we hear a deep conversation about nature.
Are we losing our ability to communicate non-verbally in the present day?
Can tea help us change that and learn from the world around us? 
WuDe also shares information about courses taking place at Tea Sage Hut in Taiwan, what it's like being a part of Global Tea Hut, and how you can get involved.

#22 - Life and Death. Energy and Peace. Letting Go Of Someone You Love with Brooke Baudot

While Christmas is a joyous time for many, it can also be a sad time, particularly for those who have experienced loss. We’ve all experienced loss, some more recently than others, and Christmas can bring on memories and feelings of sadness.
This episode, Nathalie speaks with Brooke Baudot about life and death, advice for grieving, and dealing with loss. In the western world, we seem to have a much harder time dealing with the transition than in other cultures. We never know how much time we have left ourselves, or how much time we have with others. Although it may be difficult to understand why bad things happen, we all have a purpose on this planet, and you may understand one day.
Also in this show, you’ll hear a bit about Brooke’s journey opening her own yoga studio and air plant business, near-death experiences, dreams, and a question about animals being drawn to meditation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se12y9hSOM0  - Although interesting stuff - Disclaimer : I do not believe all tap water are good for you. I myself choose bottle and glass bottle ( as much as possible) - consult your city for information on tap water and see if is safe to drink. Clean water is highly important and assists with optimal health.
 
Have a wonderful day LIFE ON EARTH COMMUNITY!

#16 Himsa - Light On Violence with Christopher Galliano

Following the heartbreaking violence in Las Vegas, Nathalie and Chris Galliano contribute to the ongoing conversation about dealing with these types of incidents. In our hyper-sensitized society, it can be too easy to mourn for a few days until the next distraction comes along. However, this means that the underlying issues are never really addressed.
Chris, who has spent time in the military, offers his perspective on gun violence and the 2nd amendment, and Nathalie speaks to the spiritual perspective. While Himsa means violence, Ahimsa is non-violence, and is the first and foremost of the five Yamas practiced in yoga.
The goal of this conversation is to bring attention to violence, as a step towards making the world a more loving place. How are you contributing to the situation on our planet?
