The art of enjoying tea

I recently discovered a fantastic Blog called 'Honey lemon tea'. It suggests some  great recipes for tea lovers, and shares thought-provoking quotes along with book ideas. For me, coming back to the art of tea drinking is a nourishing way to re-connect with the simple things of life that I enjoy. Sharing tea with a friend is certainly one of them! It slows the pace of life down in a way that feels very much needed sometimes, allowing me to focus on good company, sipping warm tea, and breathing. Ahh.  Hopefully we will be sitting in a patch of sunlight shining through the window too!

Being awake

The other morning I asked myself -'What might help me be more awake as I move through my day?' A bit of self- research. I found that simply being curious about my level of awareness allowed me to notice lots of small details- The intricate colouring of blossoms, the way shadows meet light on the sidewalk, the feeling of my steps meeting the ground. I was able to pause and notice the moments I was breathing easily, and when I held my breath for a second when I was facing a challenging situation.

Giving myself a fuller freedom to take small pauses boosted my energy level too! I could reflect on what I was needing in that micro-moment. My body responded... that tight place in my neck held less crunchy tension, and moved with more ease.

More ease- that  phrase spoke profoundly to me, and  I embraced it as a mantra for daily life. I am inviting more ease into my day. Yes!! That is a kind of wakefulness, for me.

Colours of hope

These fresh early mornings & warm afternoons are reminding me of the transformative power of springtime...of the chance to embrace and learn from both the light and the shadows. Urges to be patient through the washes of rain, and to enjoy a good windy day... Wishing you a moment to pause and find a little delightfulness in your day.
