 How's it going guys right today? I'm going to jump straight. I love I just jumped straight into the video topic here And I'm going to be talking about a new type of tea which I've just discovered called guayusa Okay, and this stuff comes from Ecuador and I got lucky I got in contact with the guy that's just started producing this importing it and selling it in the UK and I'm just going to do a little review of it here, okay Because it has really interesting implications for lucid dreaming like it's not just It's not just another green tea, you know another flavored tea that sort of thing It's actually really special and there's a number of reasons for that. So I'm just gonna go ahead and get into it. So Guayusa, okay, Amazonian energy, and this is what the the packet will look like It's basically a type of tea Which can improve your cognitive function your dreams your memory And your energy throughout the day And the way it works is that it basically is a highly caffeinated leaf Okay, it has pretty much the same amount of caffeine as Red Bull coffee even maybe slightly more And it can last all day So so normally say if you drink a coffee, you know At 8 in the morning the energy might last for about an hour or two, maybe three to four hours And then you're sort of it will wear off and you won't feel the energy as much throughout the rest of the day, right? And then hence why you need to drink another cup at lunchtime and another cup at four o'clock or whatever And then the end result is you might have the occasional productivity boost, but Generally speaking, you're gonna be like a little bit drained, especially in the evening when you try to go to sleep Okay, it can keep you awake as well This however, Guayusa Is not like that at all. Okay, so it will give you the same energy if not more I find I'm actually have much more energy when I try this compared to coffee But it will last all day. I find I can just drink one cup maybe two cups of this stuff And I have like I'm sort of on for the whole day I can just focus on whatever I want to do, you know, I can write my blog post so I can just stay on track Okay, and it the reason that it lasts longer and doesn't give you that sort of jitteriness Is because it's got a substance called it L. Theanine Okay, and what this does is it counteracts the jitteriness from the caffeine And it makes the whole experience last longer and it feels much smoother. That's the best way of describing this Okay, so I've been trying this for about a week now And I loved it so much that I'm gonna be getting more And in you know, it's basically gonna be part of my life. I'm gonna be drinking this stuff probably every day And it's really a great way to improve your lucid dreams as well Okay, so I just want to share a bit about what I did with this for my lucid dreams But just bearing in mind that it's not just for lucid dreams. It's also something you can use Daily instead of coffee and I think it's better than coffee. So for lucid dreaming What I do with this is I have a cup So I'll brew a cup of this greater I'll get it ready for you know when I'm going to sleep. I'll put it by my bed and then I will Use it in conjunction with the weight-back-to-bed method Now this technique is where you set your alarm for two hours before you would normally wake up and you're going to be Targeting your REM sleep. Okay, so just very quickly for those of you who aren't aware Your REM sleep is where most of your dreams happen and it's the best time to lucid dream So you normally have the longer periods of REM sleep towards the end of the night So say if you go to sleep at about 10 wake up at about 6 your REM sleep will be roughly 3 to 4 a.m That's when your longest periods of REM sleep will be happening. So what you want to do Is you want to set your alarm for that time wake up and then do a wild technique the wake induced lucid dreaming technique And obviously if you're doing that you would combine that with drinking some of this It can be drunk cold as well as hot and it will greatly improve your chances of having a lucid dream And the way it does this the reason it does this is because of the caffeine keeping your mind awake and aware And the lc and in keeping you relaxed and almost sedated not quite sedated But it keeps you in a relaxed state. So what this means is It's really clever the way it works because it means your mind is kept awake from the caffeine Okay, so you'll have that alertness and awareness you can be aware of what you're doing hence lucid dreaming And the lc and in and some certain other ingredients keep you relaxed So you're not going to be waking up as you would if you've just done an espresso Because if you have an espresso at three in the morning, I guarantee you you're not going to be You're not going to be able to fall back to sleep. Okay, you're going to be awake That's that's the start of your day right there. Um, so that's why this is really cool for lucid dreaming Um, and I would suggest this is probably one of the best lucid dreaming teas out there Um, obviously there are other ones, but I personally I really like this one And I think I'm going to be using this a lot. So I'm going to put it a link in the description. I've got a more detailed blog post about this stuff Uh, including some some pictures and some guides on how to brew it Just a very quick guide if you are interested in having, you know, getting your hands on some of this stuff Uh, basically what you want to do to brew it is just have one to two teaspoons of the leaves They come loose in a packet like this. I've shown you this a million times now But I'm just going to show you again, uh, and the leaves come loose in the packet Okay If you can see that there in the video Um, and what you do is you just take one to two teaspoons, put it in a cup boiling water Leave it for six to 10 minutes. I like to leave mine for 15 minutes just to make sure it's Completely infused and all the strength of the leaves is coming out into the water And then it's fine to drink you can either drink it normally and just let the leaves settle at the bottom of the cup I don't know why I'm using this as a cup Um, or you can just get a tea strainer. I've just ordered a tea trainer today And then you can just strain it and just drink it normally now you can sweeten it I don't like to sweeten it because I actually quite like the taste You can add milk. You can do whatever you want to it. Okay Um, personally, I like to just let it sit for 15 minutes strain the leaves off and then drink it I don't like to put any sugar in it because I feel like I actually like the taste of it naturally Um, so yeah, go ahead and if you're interested check the link in the description It will tell you a lot more about this stuff And I'm gonna leave it there for you guys for that video Uh, so I'll see you the next one if you haven't subscribed already, please go ahead and click the button It's like right there.
