Happy Cows, Green Tea

September 8, 2010 by Marian Buck-Murray 2 Comments

happy cow

I just got back from a trip to  Vermont with my husband Tom, and  two daughters, Annika and Rosalie.  Vermont, land of green mountains, is truly vibrant and green – with lush green fields, and lots of happily grazing cows.  I love cows, happy cows especially.

We stayed in Burlington, (home of the irresistible health food store City Market).  On our last day, Annika, our 19-year-old tea-lover, brought us to the Dobra Tea Room http://www.dobratea.com.  After a couple of cups of delicious Assam Brahmaputra, an Indian tea perfect for long journeys , we left with a box of Extra Gunpowder Green Tea.  I’m drinking a glass of it right now, from sun tea I made earlier this morning.

As a recovering coffee addict, I switched over to green tea about 5 years ago.  (Okay, I confess, I cheat.  Mostly on weekends.  )  Coffee, sad to say, is very hard on the adrenal glands, and mine were shot.

Green tea has much less caffeine than coffee (30-60mg compared to 100 mg in coffee).  This means less stress on the adrenals, and in the end, MORE ENERGY.  Adrenal glands pump out the hormones responsible for lifting energy.  When they’re overworked by coffee and other stimulants, they eventually give up.   After a while, those daily cups of coffee will just make you tired and wired.

Tea has theanine, an amino acid which actually helps to counteract the adrenal-whipping effects of caffeine.  Theanine helps you relax by increasing alpha waves in your brain.  It also increases GABA, the neurotransmitter responsible for relieving stress and anxiety.  Don’t worry, tea won’t relax you enough to make you fall  asleep.  Theanine works synergistically with caffeine to boost your focus and cognition.

Bottom line, the more relaxed you are, the less energy you’ll waste on stress and anxiety.  Tea, especially green tea, is kinder to your adrenals.  Just like happy grass-fed cows give better milk, happy adrenals give better energy.

Be Well!

    Thank you for explaining how green tea works for us besides the antioxidants that is so often the only focal point of most info on green tea.
    Do you find brewing green tea in cool water, as opposed to boiling water, is better?
    I have been reading your 6 winter power foods and other info you have on your site.
    I have forwarded it to 3 other very special friends.
    Thank you again for your insight. I am off to have a cup of green tea 🙂

    Hi Kathy,
    That’s a good question about the tea. I like brewing in cool water in the summer, since it’s sooo easy. As far as health benefits are concerned,I’ve heard that antioxidant levels are higher and caffeine lower in cool water brewed tea.
    Thanks for your question!

    Be Well,
    Marian

What my clients say:

Thank you so much, Marian!  I have held such appreciation in my heart for you and for the powerful work you have done with me.  I want to come see you for some more matrix reimprinting and EFT.  The more I expand the more I see. And I see more opportunities to release old ways and adopt new patterns that will serve my fullest expression of my soul's journey.

Leslie Goldman, Fine Artist www.wildcherryart.com

 

Thank you so much for the session yesterday. It’s so freeing to feel grounded and energetically unblocked at the same time. You’ve been such an incredible guide and support this past year. I’m astounded by how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come.

~Diana F.

THANK YOU.  I'm sure you must hear testimonials all the time, but just your presence, voice and spirit make a huge difference in the way I think and do things - and I change! It's really a miracle, and you are the catalyst. Your guidance is invaluable.

~D.G.

We have been honored to have Marian’s presence at our Company to learn more about stress reducing techniques like tapping and heart breath meditations.  Marian empowered many employees to utilize such an accessible technique to help manage emotions in the corporate setting.

~Zena Kim, Head of Wellness Passion Group, A+E Networks

I started working with Marian over four years ago when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. It was an extremely vulnerable and traumatic time and I was lucky to find Marian through a friend’s recommendation. I had never done anything besides talk therapy previously and I was unfamiliar with EFT but I knew I needed something different. Marian educated me about EFT and its benefits. She tailored each session to my unique needs depending on what was going on for me emotionally and also used visualizations and breathwork. These are skills that I  also used on my own outside of our sessions. Marian is extremely skilled, grounding, empathetic and insightful. Even when I didn’t know what I needed, she listened and intuitively knew what to do. Her guidance helped me heal and move forward in my quest to be a mother. Our work together has truly been transformative for me and I continue to value our work now that I’m a new mother and am faced with new challenges.

~Susanna

Our session was incredible. I’m still in absolute awe at how quickly you led me to the core issues that were tangling me up. So often I would feel the impact of the inner critical voice on my emotions (I’d FEEL depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, anxious)…but I never knew what the core limiting beliefs exactly were. That you exposed them so effortlessly amazes me. I’m blown away by how good I feel – truly it is like I’m breathing deeper, feeling lighter, clearer– an everyday-kind-of joy just feels so much more accessible right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work- I can’t wait to continue further with you!

Thank you for agreeing to speak at NAO Wellness! I loved hearing your story, it’s so captivating and inspiring.  The feedback from the workshop was amazing – participants said it was transformative, that the energy in the room completely shifted, and more. I was truly blown away, I’m still feeling all the good vibes. You are such a gift.
