Some days, life can feel like one endless to-do list, and with distractions everywhere you turn, it can be a struggle to find a few moments to slow down and breathe. Which is where everyday rituals, such as a cup of tea, can really help you to elevate your everyday and savour the moment.
For centuries, tea has been a source of comfort, a calming ritual woven into the fabric of the day. So why not squeeze the most out every last drop by turning it into a mindful moment?
There is something infinitely soothing about returning to old traditions and practices, and that’s exactly what a tea meditation invites us to do. Here at Twinings, we’re all for embracing mindfulness techniques, especially those that include tea, and fitting them around our busy days. So we’re sharing how a simple tea meditation can help you restore some calm and order to your day.
What is Tea Meditation?
Rooted in Zen Buddhism, tea meditation works to ground you in the moment by inviting you to bring all your senses, so from the moment you make your tea, you become aware of your mind and body and use the tea as a guide.
