Nothing is more calming then a nice hot cup of tea. When it comes to mental, physical, and spiritual healing, tea drinking is a well-known self-care practice. What started as a Chinese tradition quickly expanded into different cultures and regions. Currently on the market, there is a large assortment of teas that you can buy and many different ways you can drink tea.
I love tea! I collect all different types of teas. My reasoning for collecting so many different types of teas is that, I need a tea for every situation. My favorite teas at the moment are positive energy, tension tamer, green tea, skin detox, and chai tea. I developed my tea drinking habit from my dad. He would always rise early in the morning and drink green tea. Unbeknownst to me, this was and still is my dad’s favorite form of meditation. When I was a child I could never understand why my dad would drink tea, but now as an adult I completely get it. Tea is a self-care practice that consciously encourages you to be still.
When you drink tea, you should be intentional. Be intentional in the type of tea you select, make sure it fits the mood you are in. Also, be intentional when you sip your tea. Every sip you take, savor the moment with reflection and breathwork.
If you haven’t already…take care of yourself and be still with a cup of tea.
Until next time…
