How To Start a Tea Ritual
A tea ritual is an experience that can bring you peace and joy. Practicing mindfulness simply means slowing down, breathing deep, and being in the moment.
While you are waiting for the water to boil, think about your intention for your tea ritual. Pour hot water over your tea bag and breathe deeply. Enjoy the aroma of the tea as it steeps. Sit in a comfortable place and drink slowly. Repeat your intention as you enjoy your tea without distractions. Give yourself permission to have this moment to reflect inward.
