Making a cup of tea/drinking anything at all: Before you drink, look at the cup and think about what you wish to infuse it with. Let the words find you and say a little prayer over the liquid and then drink it to infuse yourself with those properties. `
Example: As you drink a cup of your favorite tea, out of your favorite mug, in your favorite chair, held in hands that are adorned by your favorite rings, close your eyes and say to yourself “May this drink warm my body and my soul, may it both ease my worries and ignite my passions, I am thankful for this moment of pleasure, and allow myself to truly feel it, with every sip I become more and more grounded in my being.”
Use this as a coffee replacement when on caffeine breaks and cleanses or to boost energy mid day without caffeine crash.
