Finding Balance

Balance as a word has so many applications and ways to be applied. Work, life, tight rope and much more. It feels like that at almost any moment, regardless of age, location, gender or situation, a person is performing some sort of "balancing act" that requires constant attention and focus. Unfortunately, too common it's the unbalance that throws us off our line and requires us to pause or even start all over. From religion to politics, being single to being married, children or no children, job or no job, rich or poor,  balance is something we always seem to be pursuing either consciously or obliviously. Even more detrimental, once balance is achieved, we become so anxious about losing it that we throw our own selves into a spin. What is this mysterious "balance" we always aim to achieve? Why is this so difficult? Well, happiness is certainly one word that we could supplement balance for in many of these situations. This of course comes in many shapes and sizes and changes from one person to the next. Included in this newsletters were just a couple of examples of some popular and even ancient practices that help people achieve balance. We'd like to encourage anyone looking to find balance to continue on the hunt. It's out there, can be achieved and even grasped for longer periods of time. One of the things that too many people over look and even neglect while focused on balance is their health. When we become unhealthy, it's far too easy to fall into a vortex that makes balance nearly impossible, and even more harsh is how poor health can magnify other imbalances in our lives. From a good diet to exercise, good sleep to plenty of vitamin D, our health must be a top priority for our overall balance and.....the balance of others important to us in our lives. We hope that your path to balance is quick and once achieved is sustainable. We're here to help in anyway that we can and we love to develop some of the best health-food products available for both the mind and the body. Best of luck in your pursuits. 

New Fulfillment Capacity

We're moving out of calling it a "New Year". It doesn't take long for us to get used to signing dates with 13 and have become comfortable with calling 2012, last year.

As we continue through winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is common around this time for many to have had "enough" of winter and are ready for the seasonal change. Some are coping with a lack of Vitamin D and anxious to see more of the sun. With this often tedious time of the winter season, many have lost motivation to pursue the changes desired just weeks ago. We hope you're able to stick to your path and move forward towards your goals. Don't give up! We've been able to see some fruits from our New Years goals. ZP.tech has expanded the line of filling equipment. As we continue to grow, we find more needs to provide fulfillment faster, increase production, step up the tempo all while focusing on our #1 priority: Quality.

Quality not only includes striving for a perfect product, but faster shipping, faster R&D, better customer service and higher quality dreams. We're excited to share with you one of the many new upgrades to the lab we've acquired this year. ZP.tech is now the proud owner and user of a complete Bottle filling production system. With a precision filling system, not only can we produce thousands of bottle a day instead of hundred a week, we can free up resources to expand our customer service, reallocate man-power to shipping and much more, all in the pursuit of continually improving our entire customer experience.

Also, ZP.tech now has the opportunity to offer fulfillment to many of our partners out there needing to scale up production but lacking the tens of thousands in capital needed to acquire filling systems. We're very excited to see how this helps our customers over the next three years and we thank you for being with us.

The New Year- 2013

We are very excited to prepare this article for you. A new year brings a lot of contemplation, reflection, renewed ambition and hope. From career to health, money to quality of life and family. There is often times an array of new ambitions that surface and we wish you the best of luck with these goals.

We often read about new ways to stay motivated, new goal tracking systems and so on and so forth. Although these may work for some and the light of inspiration may quickly fade for others there is often something overlooked. Focus. Not just an exciting idea that we ponder and then become bored or even discourages with, but an intense focus that changes our lives.

Yes, most of us have heard that these big goals are a "life style" change but....what does that really mean? We make some new habits? We give up some old ones? Yes, but it's far more than that. The process of changing your lifestyle is one that often times comes with a sacrifice, a sacrifice that stings. Most of us can only handle the "pain" for so long then we resort back to what we know is comfortable. From yo-yo dieting to paying off credit cards then racking them back up again, hope fades, perhaps the most important ingredient to true change.

Some philosophy describes us as creatures of torture, we enjoy suffering. Other perspectives describe us as creatures of hope and joy. We say yes. We are what we decide to be, by choice, by hope or lack thereof and quickly find the end result either with a level of satisfaction and resolve we can't truly explain, or a dark place, missing hope and again, something else we can't explain.

We hope that with all the new decision and goals we pursue in this new year, they are ones we can apply a laser focus to that allows the sacrifices to sting less, the success to be greater, the resolve to be absolute and the gains to be grand.

We're here with you well on this journey. With great emotional releases the conclusion has brought to millions around the world we feel as though with hopefully a few less distractions we can all make the changes we aim to achieve.

Farewell 2012

The 2012 project for ZP.tech began four years ago. There were some ramblings that had begun online, a few documentaries here and there that tied together a lot of prophetic monologs that were not new but resurfacing. Only days away now from December 21st 2012, the big day, we embrace this time and are excited to recognize the "Shift" that has taken place leading up to this. It's pretty easy to take a step back and see how substantially the world has changed in the last 4 years, 10 years etc. We're the Mayans on to something? Maybe. How about Nostradamus? Perhaps. Is this a world ending event? We don't see it as one. What we're excited about are the new changes. The advancements in technology, the new found displays of humanity and compassion to others. This has been the thought process of ZP.tech all along towards this event that will pass and we will awake on the 22nd renewed and refreshed. Our stance for 2012 began with "Shift", a cornerstone alchemy that symbolized a much more global transition of the human conscience to enlightenment, peace and understanding. Shift was and is a support alchemy, 2012 was an awareness product. This was the purpose of our 2012 product line, a way to document your own personal transition as we arrived to this time. From worldly observations to personal ones, we feel as though almost everyone has put some thought into this event. It is uncommon for so many cultures, so many people, so many age groups and for such a long time to have pondered the same thing and because of this phenomenon, it is something truly special. As we bid 2012 Alchemy farewell, we welcome the "Shift" and new developments with this down the road. As so many people will be coming to closure at the same time on the 22nd, we reflect on what this 2012 event has spawned from development. Frequency and Lucid are two ZP.tech products birthed from 2012 R&D. Bringing together modern Science and ancient philosophy can produce things that are "strange" to a person that is new to tuning in to their inner being, however strange this may appear, more and more are discovering that we individually are in control of our own lives, wellbeing and quality of such. This is in fact the shift and we welcome this event. Though some of our fellow man may be resisting and latching on to previous ways of living, for those of us that have shifted, we must not forget to display genuine compassion, love and support for those that don't see it yet. Farewell 2012, hello 2013.

Kaleidoscope is Back!

This is one of our favorite things to do! We try to do this at least twice a year. For those new to ZP.tech, we offer a free product called “Kaleidoscope”. This is our way of giving back to all of our ZP.tech supporters out there. We want you to know that we appreciate you and without you, there is no ZP.tech. =) S&H is the only item charged and we hope you like this round of Kaleidoscope! The details of how this product comes to be are below. Part of the production process is the drying of crystals. There's a lot of evaporation that takes place on all the crystals and once a month we "scrape" the powders from the clean-room drying glass. This is a blended powder, from Astralight to 2012 to Kinetic and more, it's a kaleidoscope of Powders. We're offing this for free to anyone who is interested. Each bottle is different and can not be duplicated. This is something truly unique, one of a kind and special. Enjoy!

Less Than Perfect

This month is something special.

With after 10 years of business, the crew here at ZP.tech has had some errors along the way with product packaging. Crooked labels, poor print quality and wrong quantities on the bottles. We've had many experiences re-packaging and discarding incorrect materials.

With our latest "Less Than Perfect" promotion, we're going to be able to save time and hours on our end and extend some pretty sweet opportunities to you.

Here are the details:

ZP.tech fills hundreds and often times thousands of bottles each month for production. Due to our rigid Quality Control practices, sometimes a bottle has been packaged at less than 100%. A crooked label, a shrink sleeve that didn't seal to perfection or a label print that isn't up to par. It is our pleasure to extend these Less Than Perfect products to you as a promotion with every order over $50. Liquids and powders are available.

Upon checkout with your qualifying order, please indicate in the shipping field if you would like a liquid or a powder. Every type of ZP.tech product has been saved for this promotion and we hope you enjoy.


We look forward to how this goes and perhaps we'll be able to do this again if you enjoy. We'd love to here from you about it!!

Thanks!

The ZP.tech team.

Black Hawaiian Salt:
Hawaiian Salt is harvested from the sea surrounding the island of Molokai. As a small and isolated island, the ocean waters of Molokai remain pristine and unpolluted. These salts are harvested using the highest of standards through a slow and careful process of solar evaporation, allowing the salt crystals to form with the much desired trace minerals intact. This salt obtains its natural and dramatic coloring from the activated charcoal added to the salt which is a known antitoxin and digestive aid.

Assal Pearl Salt
Extreme heat and other conditions of Lake Assal, Africa create Assal Pearl Salts which form their smooth, round shape naturally as they tumble on the water’s edge. The tiny pearls are stunning, with their shape different from any other salt in the world! This 100% natural salt is 98.5%-99.5% pure Sodium Chloride with a variety of beneficial trace minerals. A great gourmet salt choice for special occasions or everyday salt needs.

Celtic Grey Sea Salt
Add incredible flavor to your entrées by seasoning with Celtic Grey Sea Salt. This salt is favored by the top chefs in France and all around the world. Celtic Sea Salt is formed as the sea water flows into the Guerande Marshes, in France, during high tides. It is hand-harvested by salt workers, using skills and methods over a thousand years old. The salt obtains its natural grey coloring from the salt crystallizing on clay. Our Celtic Sea Salt is 100% natural and carries the Nature & Progrès' certification label from France.

Utah Mineral Salt
Utah Mineral Salt is an unrefined and natural salt, free from any additives or any kind of chemicals. Utah Mineral Salt is Kosher Certified. Its unique pink appearance and specks of color originate from over 60 natural trace minerals. In addition to being a gourmet food salt, this salt is also perfect for creating a mineral bath experience. It is very unique and makes a great addition to any bath salt blend.

Utah Mineral Salt is not from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. It is actually from a prehistoric salt deposit close to the small town of Redmond in Utah, which is over 150 miles away from the Great Salt Lake. At the time of the earth's Jurassic period, a large sea covered the majority of what is now considered North America. Over time the water in this sea evaporated, and left behind a vast deposit of salt in central Utah. A series of volcanoes erupted around the ancient seabed, and sealed the salt and its trace minerals from pollutants of the modern day.

Fleur de Sel
Fleur de Sel, French for “Flower of Salt”, is hand collected from the Guerande Salt Marshes using centuries old techniques. This exquisite salt is truly a rare gift from nature. Guerande “paludiers” harvest this salt by skimming the very surface of the salt ponds, obtaining only the salt crystals formed on the top layer and is certified from the Nature & Progrès institute in France, a strict certification process ensuring purity and excellence.
Fleur de Sel salt is esteemed by chefs as the most amazing sea salt for culinary use with its delicate flavor, light and moist texture and high mineral content.

Cyprus Flake
Natural crystal flake sea salt from the Mediterranean Sea surrounding the island of Cyprus. This stunning and delicate gourmet flake salt provides a delightful crunch with the mild flavor of Mediterranean Salts making it ideal for use in cooking, baking and as a garnishing salt for fish and vegetable dishes.

Using a method that can take up to two years from start to finish in order to obtain its perfection, the unique pyramid shape of the Cyprus Flake Salt is created through the process of solar evaporation of sea water where the water is channeled into a chain of shallow ponds or lagoons called "salins" and then into large pans where the water is gradually heated, forming the dazzling pyramid shapes of the salt. The process continues until the salt reaches 3% humidity.

Mediterranean
Natural sea salt from the Mediterranean Sea in Europe. This fine gourmet salt is selected for its purity and beautiful crystal white appearance. The mild flavor of the Mediterranean Salt makes it a wonderful choice of salt that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. Mediterranean solar sea salts come directly from the pristine waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and are created using ancient methods of solar evaporation. This region is free of pollution and has high evaporation rates, making it a very pure salt. Our Mediterranean Sea Salt is low in moisture, clean and white and does not contain any additives. Magnesium is just one of the trace minerals found naturally in this salt and naturally prevents caking.

Pura Vida Mayan
Pura Vida Sea Salt, also known as “Mayan Sea Salt” and “White Gold”, is hand harvested in Guatemala. The harvesting of this salt dates back to as early as 1000 B.C. It is estimated that 3 to 6 tons of sea salt was carried inland to the ancient Mayan people every day by canoe or on foot in order to maintain supply of this essential resource.
 
We purchase our Pura Vida Sea Salt directly from the exclusive importers of this fine salt, which supports economical growth for the people of Guatemala. Our Mayan Sea Salt is a 100% natural gourmet food salt that will to add delicious flavor to any dish. Enjoy!

Himalayan Pink Sherpa
Himalayan salt is quite different from salt found anywhere else. For one thing, it’s uniquely beautiful: it has a pinkish or light reddish tint, and under a microscope, the crystals within the salt form gorgeously perfect geometric patterns. Himalayan salt, when left raw and in its natural state, is rich in nutrients and minerals. Since many of these elements found within each grain of salt naturally occur within us and in the environment, they are easily absorbed and utilized on a cellular level. Pink Himalayan Salt re-mineralizes the body with minerals and trace elements essential to our health and well being.
