Every cause and effect needs a pause and reflect

Every cause and effect needs a pause and reflect

We’ve experienced the tea now using all 5 senses. What communication is being conveyed to you? 

What is the tea saying?

What do see in this moment? 

What do you feel as you touch the cup?

How does the aroma and flavor make you feel?

 

These are some reflective questions, every sip, and every thought will cause something in you if you allow it. In this moment, every thought causes a ripple into the future. I truly understand this saying now, “The butterfly effect says that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can cause a typhoon halfway around the world.” and I was thinking to that effect that a small raindrop in the ocean can cause a tsunami by the time it reaches the shore... small causes may have large effects. 

 

Every experience during your tea time is important. The messages received can change the trajectory of your life. The experiences are causes and effects. After your tea time while you are there and finishing, or after you have departed ways, take time to the reflection of the experiences and the meaning behind each element of the tea time. Write down what you received from it. Ask yourself some of the questions from the top. 

 

This is how you savor the flavor, by completely enjoying the moment, by dwelling on every aspect of what happened.
