Is unexpressed anger keeping you from feeling good?

Is unexpressed anger keeping you from feeling good about yourself  and having the kind of relationships you truly want?


Well we have the solution.  Louise Hay's Anger Releasing CD is amazing.  " As you repeatedly do these visualization exercises, many angry feelings will come up- feeling directed at people you may not have known you wer even angry at. This is simply a part of the process and it's perfectly okay"  "Releasing anger will release pain and free you to experience a richer, more fulfilling life"

I have personally tried this technique and it was very profound and powerful. The CD is available at My Sereni-Tea for 16.95. A great investment in feeling better and releasing stuff you may be carrying for years!!!

Facts about Tea!

Until the nineteenth century, solid blocks of tea were used as money in Siberia!

The Irish drink more tea per head than nay nation in the world.

Tea was accidentally invented in 2737 BC when Chinese Emperor Shen Nung spotted some tea leaves blew into a pot of boiling water and produced a pleasing aroma.

By 1800 England alone was consuming 24 million pounds per annum of tea of every type from white and green to oolong and black, all of it organically grown and hand-made, much of it fit for Emperors and kings. Most tea consumed in England between 1650 and 1850 was green and oolong - not black!

From 1608, when tea first appeared in Europe, in Holland, until around 1850, China, with rare and inconsequential exceptions, was the sole source of all the tea drunk in the Western World.

The English East India company held a monopoly on all China tea exports to the British Isles and Americas for two hundred years.

An average of three billion cups of tea are consumed daily worldwide

Do you have blood circulation problems? Try Green Tea

Green tea has powerful antioxidants and great vasodilating effects, meaning that it increases blood circulation, which is important in getting oxygen to the body's tissues.

In general, green tea is minimally processed, which means its leaves are withered and steamed instead of fermented like others types of tea. This keeps the tea's catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate or EGCG, intact and more concentrated.

Drink at least one cup of green tea daily to improve circulation and intercellular exchange, increase metabolism and boost your immune system.

We have a variety of green teas in the shop, organic, with fruit, green and white mix.  All sold by the ounce!

History of Iced Tea

Did you know?

In 1904 the United States was ready for the world to see her development at teh St Louis World's fair.
Trade exhibitors from around the world brought their products to America's first St. Louis World's Fair.
One merchant was Richard Blechynden, and he owned a tea plantation.. He had planned to give away free samples of hot tea to the visitors at the fair, then a heat wave hit, and no one was interested in hot tea.

So that he did not waste the tea, this merchant added ice into the brewed tea and served the first 'iced tea'.   It was a great success.

Do you know the benefits of Reiki?

I have had a few people lately ask about Reiki, so I thought I would write about it and the wonderful healing benefits!

Reiki is a Japenese Healing Technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administrated by 'laying on of hands" and is based on the idea that 'life force energy' flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.  If one's 'life force energy' is low, then we are most likely to get sick or feel stress and if it is hig, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Some of the Reiki Healing Health Benefits
* Aids better sleep
*Reduces blood pressure
*Releases tension and stress
*Helps alleviate pain
*Removes energy blockages, adjusts the energy flow bringing the body into balance and harmony
*Supports the immune system
*Raises the vibrational frequency of the body
*Helps spiritual growth and emotional cleairng

When we are relaxed, stress free, we are able to restore our natural ability to heal.
