IN THE FLOW
(/in/ - /T͟Hē,T͟Hə/ - /flō/
A state of flow is a state of focused awareness and presence in which one is fully immersed in the moment. From a mindfulness and meditation perspective, it means letting go of distractions and worries and allowing one's mind to be completely engaged in the present activity.
This state of flow is often associated with heightened creativity, increased focus, and a profound sense of peace.
To help you deepen and elevate your tea meditation experience, here are some suggestions:
Create a dedicated tea space.
Set up a special area in your home solely for tea meditation. Having a dedicated space can help signal to your mind that it's time to enter a meditative state, enhancing your focus and immersion in the practice.
Incorporate mindful movement.
Engage in gentle, mindful movements before sitting down for your tea meditation. This can help release physical tension and center your mind, allowing you to enter the tea meditation with greater presence and receptivity.
Keep a tea meditation journal.
As the audio suggests, consider keeping a journal to record your experiences after each tea meditation session. This can help deepen your awareness and allow you to track your progress over time.
