True story: the pressure of turning 30<\/a>, along with planning a wedding during the pandemic<\/a> and the Covid-19 fiasco, has put a damper on my mental health<\/a>. In hopes of seeking mindfulness, I decided to try tea meditation. I\u2019ve never really been successful with meditation. Maybe it\u2019s my lack of patience or the inability to be still. But I do like a hot cup of tea<\/a>. So I threw all inhibitions out the window and joined a tea meditation session with Lynne Hong \u2013 the founder of Aloha Bliss Rituals<\/a> and Mindfulness with Lynne<\/a> \u2013\u00a0on a fine Saturday evening. This is what happened\u2026<\/p>\n

Before we warm the teapot: what\u2019s tea meditation?<\/h3>\n

Steeped in rich history, tea drinking is an age-old practice that\u2019s been around for decades. It\u2019s especially popular in Asia and is known to be a calming ritual in many cultures. The act of drinking tea itself is meditative. Starting your day with a hot pot of tea and being connected with your mind and body in each step promotes a sense of groundedness. It also helps to rebalance, refocus and calm your mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cTea is very tangible in a simple way\u201d, says Lynne, who\u2019s been on a mindfulness journey for seven years. The mindfulness coach for women has been practising tea meditation for the last two, holding one-on-one, group and virtual sessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a more direct access to stilling the mind because we ask someone to sit down in stillness. In modern days, people struggle with racing thoughts and find it tough to sit down in silence. But as tea is so tangible \u2013 you\u2019re holding a cup of something that\u2019s warm. You watch the leaves dance with the hot water, and you smell the fragrance of this alchemy \u2013 it engages all five senses immediately. So it\u2019s easier for people to get in touch with themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was as though she saw right through me because that\u2019s an issue I struggle with. I\u2019ve always felt that my brain has 101 issues running through its mind. I also battle with anxiety so keeping my mind in the present is something that needs lotsa practice.<\/p>\n

Let the tea meditation session begin<\/h3>\n

There was a sense of calm as I entered her cosy tea loft. I made myself comfortable at the little nook where she had set up a teapot, ceramic cups, healing crystals and candlelights. As I was early, she told me to pick a quote from a deck of affirmation cards she designed. \u201cJust for today, tend lovingly to your heart\u201d, it said. I kept that in mind as I prepared myself for the session.<\/p>\n

We started the tea meditation with a quick rundown on what to expect. We closed our eyes and took some time to ground ourselves. I could hear her brewing the tea. Even the sound of it was soothing. She poured a cup for each of us and told us to finish it slowly in three sips.<\/p>\n

I was particularly drawn to the warmth of the ceramic cup and grasped it as the heat connected with my body and mind. And with every sip, I felt my body go into reset mode. We repeated this process twice.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t all smooth-sailing\u2026<\/h3>\n

Then it happened. My brain subconsciously went back to a virtual battlefield towards my last cup and I started to feel claustrophobic and fidgety. I pushed to realign myself, focused on my breathing and repositioned my legs (not going to lie, I was having pins and needles too). Lynne\u2019s soothing and reassuring voice also helped.<\/p>\n

At the end of the tea meditation session, Lynne invited us to share our thoughts. There\u2019s something therapeutic about sharing your vulnerability with strangers. There\u2019s no room for judgement and it’s refreshing to hear others\u2019 perspectives on what the act of drinking tea means to them. I shared about how drinking tea reminds me of my mother as we\u2019d drink tea at night, catch up on our day and talk about anything under the sun. This became a regular affair during the circuit breaker and I was grateful for that.<\/p>\n

Overall, I came out of the session feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. But I have to admit, I did struggle with keeping still. Perhaps I\u2019ll try other wellness practices, too. It\u2019s all about finding the right path to your mindfulness journey, amirite?<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Lynn\u2019s words really resonated with me: \u201cEverything is a form of meditation when you get deep into it. It\u2019s about bringing your mind home to little details. Even gardening or something as simple as taking a shower can be meditative.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, what mindfulness practice should I try next? I\u2019ll have to figure that out along the way.<\/p>\n
