New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

– Spiritual Book I'm Enjoying Right Now

Awareness, by Anthony De Mello, is one of the 24 must-read books recommended by Eckhart Tolle, and I'm finding it incredibly enlightening. This one-of-a-kind, how-to-do-it book responds to the longing that, sooner or later, arises in every human heart for a greater connection to life, to our own spirit, to God. One of my favorite parts so far?

“…continue to be aware, to live life from moment to moment. How marvelously it is described in those words of the gospel: “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns … Consider the lilies of the field … they neither toil nor spin.” That’s the real mystic speaking, the awakened person. So why are you anxious? Can you, for all your anxieties, add a single moment to your life? Why bother about tomorrow? Is there a life after death? Will I survive after death? Why bother about tomorrow? Get into today. Someone said, “Life is something that happens to us while we’re busy making other plans.” That’s pathetic. Live in the present moment. This is one of the things you will notice happening to you as you come awake. You find yourself living in the present, tasting every moment as you live it. Another fairly good sign is when you hear the symphony one note after the other without wanting to stop it.”

Damn. Read this book for sure.

– Edible Honeycombs

MESS-FREE, RAW, UNADULTERATED, SINGLE-SERVE HONEYCOMB

So I personally haven't been doing much honey as I'm eating a low FODMAP diet right now (meaning I'm limiting fructan sugars), but my twin boys have been absolutely LOVING these edible honeycombs from Pass The Honey. Each one is an individually wrapped, single-serve honeycomb that’s incredibly tasty and contains a ton of essential vitamins and minerals.

Honeycomb is kind of the original ancient superfood, and my kids have been smearing this stuff on waffles, mixing with yogurt, and having along with a handful of nuts. The folks at Pass The Honey have long been fascinated with bees and their secret elixir that boosts vitality. However, until now, honeycomb was messy, sticky, and sold in inconvenient bulk trays. Not this stuff. These mess-free, single-serve honeycombs are excellent for on-the-go vitality wherever life takes you or your kids. I dig 'em.

You can get a package of single-serve honeycombs here from Pass The Honey (use code: BEN for a 15% discount on orders of the 7-ct pack).

Special Announcements:

::: Save 10% On A Super Unique Holiday Gift For The Biohacker In Your Life :::

You may have heard me talk about this gadget in my latest podcast with Luke Storey. He keeps his next to his wifi router and I keep one in my office and in my bedroom.

The Somavedic is advertised as a one-stop-shop for EMF mitigation, water structuring, and free radical reduction! ⁣

It claims to use the energy of precious stones and minerals to create a coherent field around the unit where our bodies are in a more natural environment—essentially overpowering non-native EMF with natural frequencies. Admittedly, the science is not very robust on this thing, but anecdotally I can tell you that I definitely sleep better when mine is in the bedroom, I feel less irritable during a long day of working in an electrically charged office, and I’ve had several clients actually do pre-and-post blood inflammatory tests and found that their inflammatory markers dropped her medically when they change nothing else except adding this into their working at home environment. ⁣

You can grab one here and, for a limited time, save 21% with code: BEN21.

Featured Product: Kion Fasting Bundle

Fasting is a simple practice that can have profound impacts on your mental, physical, and spiritual health. However, simple doesn't always mean easy. The first few hours of a fast can be difficult to get through due to hunger pangs, low energy, and brain fog.

That's why Kion has curated the Kion Fasting Bundle, which includes two powerhouse products to help you get through your fast while still reaping the benefits of fasting.*

  1. Kion Coffee: A clean source of caffeine, which has been shown to suppress hunger and improve energy levels during a fast. Kion Coffee is also rich in polyphenols that can enhance many of the benefits of fasting, including improved body composition, gut health, and autophagy.*
  2. Kion Aminos: Pure essential amino acids (EAAs) are a great way to “hack” your fast for better energy levels, better cognition, and sustained muscle mass.* They can also provide the fuel you need to get through fasted workouts. 

Upgrade your fasting practice today with the Kion Fasting Bundle; and if you haven't already, sign up for the Kion Fasting Challenge (going live January 6th)!
