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
