MindfulAura & Sensei
I’ve been brewing tea with leaves that must fit a perfect triangle before they steep. MindfulAura, do you see the stillness in that geometry?
Yes, when the leaves form a triangle they’re drawing a quiet line in your mind.
Each side is a breath in and out, a reminder that even the smallest shape can hold stillness.
Take a moment to notice that symmetry, and let it ground your tea‑steeping ritual.
Leaves in triangles are fine, but remember the rock in the pot is the true judge of your breath; let the tea be quiet, not a poem you wrote yourself.
The rock steadies the breath, yes. Let the tea sit in quiet, just as the stillness in the moment itself.
The stone is the only thing that knows when to pause, and if the tea stays still long enough the stone will ask you a question you can’t answer until you taste the silence.
The stone is indeed the quiet teacher, waiting for the tea to settle. When it finally speaks, listen to the silence it offers—you’ll find the answer in the pause, not in the words.
