Welcome to this morning drink ritual.
We will first set our intentions before we move into the actual drink making process.
Begin by taking several slow deep breaths as you set your intention for this morning ritual.
You can be sitting or standing,
Whatever is comfortable for you.
As you breathe,
Invite the qualities you need for the day ahead,
Such as creativity,
Passion,
Purpose,
Connection,
Inspiration,
Joy,
Or any other support you need.
Take a few long deep breaths.
With each breath,
Offering gratitude,
Love,
And appreciation to yourself for awakening today and being here in this life.
As you are ready,
Gather your ingredients,
Water,
And any other tools you will need such as a kettle,
Pot,
And spoon.
As you do so,
Acknowledge each item individually.
With a deep breath,
Give gratitude for each one,
Appreciating their presence and the role they play in this experience.
Envision the spirit of each item,
Providing you aid and support on your journey through the day.
Now prepare your water to be heated.
As it begins to warm,
Give thanks to the water for its journey to you and for the gift it is about to give you.
As it heats,
Notice the element of fire mixing with the element of water.
Envision these elemental energies combining,
Giving thanks as you observe this alchemical process.
While the water heats,
Prepare your tea,
Coffee,
Sweeteners,
Milks,
Or any other ingredients you will be using.
Notice that each of these ingredients carries elements,
Minerals,
And nutrients of the earth.
Give thanks to the plant spirits,
The land they came from,
The farmers,
The creatures,
And all those beings that helped these ingredients arrive to you.
Ask that they provide you with wonderful,
Supportive energy for your intentions and the day ahead.
Envision these ingredients providing you with the most uplifting experience at every level – physical,
Emotional,
Mental,
And spiritual.
As the water comes to proper temperature,
Intentionally combine the fire-heated water with the ingredients of the earth.
Envision these magical elements blending together.
As they steep,
Envision the final element of air surrounding your drink,
Allowing it to cool and mix.
You might send a few magical breaths into the drink,
Blowing your intentions into it.
As it continues to cool,
If you so choose,
Put away the ingredients and tools you used.
As the drink becomes ready,
Remove the tea or coffee and add any final touches you prefer.
Consider the energetic qualities of these additions.
For example,
If you add milk,
Perhaps it adds a richness and depth to your day.
If you add sweetener,
Maybe it brings joy and lightness to your day.
With a deep,
Slow final breath,
Take your first drink,
Savoring the taste.
Imagine all the magic,
Intentions,
And energy that formed this drink now infusing into you,
Stirring your spirit,
And opening a beautiful and inspiring day before you.
Enjoy the rest of your drink,
Staying connected to that positive intention and awareness as much as you can.
Thank you for joining me on this morning ritual.
I hope you have a wonderful,
Magical day.
