DRINKING YOUR BUSY MIND
Anyone who knows me knows I ♥️ my morning coffee, and even better if it’s at a café. I have a lovely nourishing morning ritual with my coffee. It’s a ‘slow coffee’ practice: I read something short but meaningful, I reflect, breathe and start my day well. When I can. Some mornings are busier, so I try to achieve the same ritual in some way, even if later in the morning.
When I drink my coffee or tea in the morning, or herbal tea later in the afternoon (I avoid consuming caffeine after 12 noon – caffeine has a half life of 6 hours and affects sleep quality and disrupts sleep cycles), I try to be conscious of each sip, each breath, aware of the sensations drinking the hot beverage – what does it taste like, how does it feel in my mouth, swallowing, warming my belly, relaxing into the experience. I try to drink my coffee or tea like a tea meditation. Slow tea. Sitting with the breath in the here and now.
Buddhist and Zen masters say that very few people actually drink their tea or coffee, when they are drinking their tea or coffee. Instead, they are drinking their worries, their anxieties, their busy thoughts and feelings and daily plans. How many of us truly drink our tea or coffee, in the moment? Sit in a café and watch people. How many people can you see genuinely slowing down to slowly sip their drink and enjoy each mouthful and the now moment? We don’t drink our tea or coffee. We drink our busy mind.
There is great medicine in slowing just enough to breathe and sit with each sip, right here, right now, and truly drink our tea. Food (or drink) for thought. ❤️

Small rituals, our morning family walk to coffee. You could just call them routines. But I like to approach the little moments of my day with reverence, because it's when we regard the mundane moments as worthy of our time & attention and really relish them that our lives become beautiful and infused with pleasure. Learning to enjoy the mundane and make it beautiful has transformed my life. November's "The Art of Slow Living" newsletter will be all about ways to find and create beauty in your everyday routines and turn them into pleasurable, mindful rituals. It will address how to carve out time so you don't rush through your day and ways I make things I previously ignored or didn't enjoy pleasurable like doing the dishes, laundry, and tidying. I really love housekeeping, can you tell? Haha. I do not. But with a few adjustments in my tools, methods, and thinking I certainly enjoy them a lot more. You can sign up for the newsletter on my blog in the sidebar or at the bottom of any post (link in profile!). What are some of your favorite mundane rituals? Breakfast and bath! Least favorite? Dishes and laundry here! 🙋🏻 How do you make your imperfect, mundane moments lovely? I want to know how you #livemoremagic! . . . #theartofslowliving #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #seekthesimplicity #specialtycoffee #craftcoffee #slowcoffee #coffeewithme #flashesofdelight #thatauthenticfeeling #thatsdarling #verilymoment (at WEEKENDERS COFFEE)

Op de weg die koffie af legt (van bes tot kopje koffie) komt de keuze tussen kwaliteit en maximum opbrengst zoveel terug: de keuze van koffieplant, teelt, mélange, brandduur, verpakking, zetmethode,... Wij zijn er van overtuigd dat enkel de consequente keuze voor kwaliteit de meest duurzame is. En natuurlijk ook de lekkerste. Geniet van jou kopje koffie vanochtend! . . . #repost #qotd #KoffieKàn #quotes #instaquote #butfirstcoffee #belgiancoffee #koffie #koffietijd #slowcoffee (bij Koffie Kàn)
