There is something magical about preparing a cup of tea. It’s like a sacred ritual. It takes me into a different world, in which I can dream, feel happy and peaceful. I love watching the steam raising, I am inhaling the scent, put my palms around the cup and enjoy the warmth spreading all over my body. This simple ceremony fills me with so much joy! In one instant my home feels cozy and everything seems right just the way it is. Mmm… The first sip… Bliss
Drinking tea is about connecting, either to myself or people dear to me. It brings so many memories of deep conversations, great gatherings or tender introspection.
I invite you to think of one of your favorite little rituals and give yourself permission to engage in it in the next few days. Maybe it’s something you’ve been doing for years. If it is, take a moment while you are doing it to really take it in. Savor it. Notice the good feelings it gives you. Or think of something you used to enjoy but didn’t allow yourself to do in a long time. Dig deep! Close your eyes and listen to the whispers of your heart. Let the joy be your compass. And then do it. Even if just for a few minutes! I would love to hear where your soul has led you.
