There are few things
more relaxing than a cup of hot green tea. Slow down and grill…which means take
your time preparing it. Get lost in its preparation, let you mind all become
green tea. Once it is ready, sit down and don’t just gulp it down like some
drunken sailor. Savor each mouthful of warmth as it cascades down your throat
like some great waterfall. Just watch the steam, floating up and swirling
around like a carousel. Focus on drinking the tea, not on what you’re going to
do after you drink it, or what happened beforehand. Be mindful of what you are
doing at the moment, as the old masters used to say. If you can bring full
attention to that, live on the edge and try doing with some other things you
do. You’ll find that you will become one with whatever it is…
