Mindful Coffee Meditation


I successfully overcame my morning urge to prepare my own coffee. I developed my ability to wait for one hour for the 1st sip of coffee prepared by my mom. I practice the following meditation below. You can also practice this with your tea or coffee.

Breathe In - I am aware that I am sitting on my chair
Breathe Out - I enjoy sitting 

Breathe In - I am aware of my whole body
Breathe Out - I smile to my whole body

Breathe In - I am aware of my intention of drinking my coffee
Breathe Out - I smile at the coffee

Breathe In - I feel how my hands are holding the coffee tumbler (cup)
Breathe Out - I feel the warmth of the tumbler in my hands

Breathe In - I am aware of how my hands bring the tumbler towards my mouth
Breathe Out - I enjoy the smell of the coffee (freshly filtered decoction coffee)

Breathe In - I feel the tumbler touching my lips
Breathe Out - I feel and taste the coffee in my mouth

Breathe In - I feel the coffee happily going down in my throat
Breathe Out - I feel the coffee aroma at my nose tips as I breathe out

Breathe In - I am aware of all the energies this coffee brings along - the sun, rain, lakes, rivers, soil, plantations, leaf pickers, coffee factory, packaging, transportation, local coffee shop fellow, milk vendor, coffee maker, my mom and me.
Breathe Out - I enjoy this gift from the universe

Breathe In - I enjoy my coffee
Breathe Out - I smile to myself

Mental Excursion - Where did you go few minutes before?


Alan Cohen says “Imagine two lawyers in a courtroom inside your head. 

One is arguing for your possibilities and you achieving your goals. The other is arguing for your limits and why you don’t deserve what you want. Who will win? The lawyer whom you pay the most. The way you pay these lawyers, however, is not with money; it is with your attention”. 

Where your attention goes, your mind & energy flows there.

Your mind plays a major role in holding your current attention.

But your mind is always on an excursion mode.

Mind keeps travelling between your past, future or to the fantasy world. Hence, your attention keeps wandering.

Let’s test it now...Ask yourself what were you thinking few mins before - I am for sure your mind was thinking about any one issue/situation in any one of the three realms(past, future or fantasy).

Training your mind to be in the present moment is the key for perennial source of happiness & health. 

It’s like riding your bicycle. By continuous microscopic adjustment of the cycle bar to the left or right, we travel straight in a cycle. Your mind will keep jumping, but it is your responsibility to tie to the present moment awareness. 

The simple way to bring to the present moment is to bring your awareness to the tip of your nose, feel the air going in and coming out. 

Can you take one nice deep mindful breath now? 

It’s FREE as of now!
