As easily as you can brew up wellness in a medicinal bath, you can steep up a symphony of flavors and aromatic delights in a simple cup of tea. The act of both preparing and drinking tea is a sacred ritual in many countries. In fact, traditional tea cups are designed without handles which require extra care and attention as you bring the cup up to your mouth to take a sip. The addition of the handle is a very “Western” concept as it adds convenience often at the cost of mindfulness.
Today’s Challenge:
DRINK A CUP OF TEA MINDFULLY
- Dig through your cupboard to find your favorite box of tea.
- Turn on the kettle while you slip into your pajama pants.
- Cozy up on the couch with a warm fuzzy blanket while your tea bag steeps for 5-10 minutes in hot water.
- Breathe in the aroma of the herbs in your blend.
- Sip slowly and sigh deeply.
