Hygge Spiritual Practice: Tea & Contemplation

"There is something in the nature of tea
that leads us into a world of
quiet contemplation of life." ~ Lin Yutang      

"Has it ever occurred to you when you are drinking your precious cup of tea
that it is a form of meditation? ‘Tis true! And it’s one that stands the test of time 
– enjoyed by nearly every culture on the planet." ~ Spirituality & Health

 
The search I did for that picture led me to several pictures with the word "hygge" on them. I used the words "tea and meditation," and I can see how the combination could create hygge moments.

"With a cup of tea, we are invited to relax into all of ourselves, not letting the busy mind run the show. Keep breathing deeply, savoring your tea and any chosen mindful activity. Receive this gift of sacred ordinary time." - Katy Taylor

A tea moment can be an occasion for slowing life down, breathing deeply & slowly, focusing on your breath, saying a quick prayer or meditating briefly on or sending love energy to what's coming up in your day or what you want to happen in the future. Or it can be a moment that connects you to the divine in a way that is already calming, soothing and comforting.

So that the moment becomes both hyggelig (hygge-like) and spiritual.

Try it today with your next cup of tea?

See you next time!
