Ritual:
A ritual is a simple, intentional act performed with presence. It is something you return to strengthen and restore you. It is a rhythm...

Let it go.
Step 1 - Prepare
Boil fresh water. Add your tea.
Let this be the moment you begin to slow down.
Step 2 - Steep
As your tea infuses, pause.
Take a breath. Let your shoulders drop.
Nothing is required of you right now.
Step 3 - Remember
Before your first sip ask yourself:
-
Awaken - "What wants my attention today?"
-
Ground - " Where in my physical structure can soften?"
-
Unwind - "What can I set down for the night?"
Step 4 - Sip
Drink slowly.
Let the warmth bring your back into your physical structure.
This is your return.
A ritual does not have to be long to be meaningful. It just has to be consistent.
