A Powerful 15 Minute Ritual

It’s amazing how much value a quick ritual can add to your day. Here is a good exercise for you to do sometime when your at home and your feeling a little down or disconnected.

I’ve used this to drag myself out of a funk.  This routine will alter your current perception of the world and make you feel a deeper connection to your surroundings and life in general.  It will make you feel happy and healthy.

Step 1:  Brew up a glass of amazing high quality tea.  I find good tea here.  Put it in a mug you can wrap two hands around.

Step 2:  Click here to play a song by Krishna Das on Grooveshark.

Step 3:  Sit cross-legged or in lotus position on a pillow in a quiet clean corner of your home.

Smell your tea.

Feel your cup.

Sip your tea.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Smile

Whenever your ready, go enjoy your day, each present moment.  Make the best of it.
