A Cup of Tea
Tea is more than a drink. It is warmth in your hands, a pause in the day, a simple ritual of presence. This practice is about slowing down, about letting something as small as a cup of tea become an anchor to the moment.
A Practice of Mindfulness
Choose a tea that feels right for you—something calming, something invigorating, something fragrant and familiar. Let the choice be part of the ritual.
Boil fresh water. Listen to the kettle, watch the steam rise, inhale the scent. As you pour, observe the color shifting, the liquid swirling. Be with the process, not just the result.
Find a quiet space to sit. Wrap your hands around the cup. Feel its weight, its heat. Before you sip, pause. Take a breath. Let yourself arrive fully in this moment.
Drink slowly. Notice the taste, the way it moves through you. Let time stretch. With each sip, let your thoughts settle, your breath deepen, your body relax.
When the cup is empty, linger a little longer. No rush, no urgency—just the quiet after the last drop.
