Absinthe & GreenTea
Hey, I’ve been experimenting with a new scent that feels like a quiet garden at dusk. I’m curious—do you think the aroma of green tea could help quiet the mind during a practice?
Yes, the gentle scent of green tea can be a subtle companion to your practice, like a quiet breeze in a garden at dusk. It invites a calm focus, without overpowering the mind, allowing each breath to settle more softly. Try adding a few leaves to your space and notice how the aroma seems to ease tension and enhance your awareness.
I’ll give it a try tonight, letting the leaves unfold slowly—thank you for the gentle guidance. How do you usually feel when you breathe in that calm?
When I breathe in that calm, I feel a gentle ripple of ease washing through my shoulders and into my breath. It’s like a soft blanket that lets my thoughts pause, so I can focus on the present moment rather than racing ahead. It’s quiet, steady, and it reminds me that peace is always within reach.
That sound of gentle ripples feels like a secret lullaby. I’ll close my eyes and let the green tea whisper into my breath, watching the world pause for a moment. How do you feel when the calm settles?
I feel the calm settle like a soft sigh, bringing my breath in a steady rhythm. It’s as if the world quiets down just enough for me to notice my own heartbeat, and with each inhale I feel more centered, more present. It’s a gentle reminder that in stillness we find clarity.
