Tea Time Meditation - Deidre MadsenThe Importance of The Moment - Time for Tea

Stopping in for tea during our busy lives is important. We often forget ways to relax and contemplate life. We would benefit from reevaluating our priorities and incorporating ways to relax. The good news is this is happening more and more.We are seeing Eastern methods of relaxation techniques with yoga and tai chi as well as all the tea offered in conjunction with the abundant coffee shops. Hopefully this is a reflection that we are trying to become more Zen-like.

Tea for Two & Two for Tea...

When sharing tea with friends we share the day's lovely or sad moments, laugh and perhaps shed a tear or two. Tea and sympathy.

Healthy Tea

Let us also remember the many health benefits of drinking tea. Herbal, black and green teas are Mother Nature's remedy for our maladies. A soothing cup of tea neutralizes 'free radical' agents, which can damage cells and lead to disease. Flavonoids, (contained in tea) also have a role in preventing heart disease by lowering cholesterol. And some property in tea appears to help the brain 're-deploy' from one task to another refreshing the parts even caffeine cannot.

tea leaf reading tasseography Tea Time Meditation - Deidre MadsenTea Leaf Divination - Tasseography

Ahh, now... you have savoured your cup of darjeeling tea, nibbled a lemon curd-dipped cranberry walnut scone, and have taken a moment to contemplate life. Hmm.

To complete the moment, consider the ancient art of tea leaf reading. Like identifying shapes in an azure blue sky's clouds, tea divination gives us a chance to gaze into our emptied cup with our thoughts focused on a single question.

Tasseography is a divination or fortune-telling method that interprets patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments. As you go through our step-by-step guide, remember to "Broaden your minds, my dears, and allow your eyes to see past the mundane!" - Professor Sibyll Trelawney, Divination, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

  • Allow for one spoonful of tea and sediment at the cup's bottom
  • Think of your question
  • Swirl your cup gently
  • Tip over onto saucer
  • Right the cup and whatever is nearer you is your immediate future, toward the bottom of the cup is further into the future

Do you see a symbolic answer in your cup?

In my own hands I hold a bowl of tea; I see all of nature represented in its green color. Closing my eyes I find green mountains and pure water within my own heart.
Silently sitting alone and drinking tea, I feel these become a part of me.
- Soshitsu Sen, Grandmaster XIV, Urasenke School of Tea

green tea ceremony Tea Time Meditation - Deidre MadsenChado - Japanese Tea Ceremony

At the center of the Upper East Side town house where the Urasenke tea school is located, there is a garden surrounded by tearooms. A skylight creates the impression that it is outside — and a world away from the city streets. One of the innovations made by Sen Rikyu was requiring all visitors to the teahouse to enter from the garden through a small crawl space — making everyone equal, whether a shogun or a peasant.

The ceremony features intricate performances as the tea is prepared, and a thick tea ceremony can last as long as four hours. During a thick tea ceremony, there is silence. At a thin tea ceremony, talking is permitted, but only about the ceremony itself.

japanese tea ceremony“There is no politics,” Mr. Yamada said. “No talk about who will be president in America or prime minister in Japan.”

While a tea ceremony might seem out of step with the pace of modern life, the Urasenke school has a waiting list for students. “Once you begin the study of tea, it becomes a lifetime thing,” he said. As for those who think they are too busy to make time for tea, “You discover that you are not as busy as you think you are.” - Hisashi Yamada, certified tea master Source | Visit the school

fractal universeWhat is TGI

Transformational Guided Imagery, TGI, is an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual transformational holistic healing modality.

TGI is a combination of lucid daytime dreaming imagery, accessing your inner vision and right brain archetypes through the subtle bodies making this a long-lasting in-depth head-to-heart whole-minded harmonized treatment.

TGI is similar to a combination of Mindfulness training, sports medicine techniques and Taoist Neiguan inner observer.

 

 

Bhagavad6Gita6 6

 

What TGI Does

  • Achieve full head-to-heart healing success for a rich love life and successful career handling positive stress
  • Discover and claim the Holy Grail from within releasing feelings of anxiety, fear, or any other form of stress that turns your emotions negative
  • Visualize your world into being, focus beyond "the Is" aka manifest (think, "The Secret" teachings*)
  • TGI is like your own inner MedBed... TGI is fully capable of TELETRANSPORTING TOXINS AND NEGATIVE ENERGIES OUT OF THE BODY
  • Addresses plaguing emotional issues and heals repeating patterns to quantum-shift the holographic YOUniverse within

  • Transcend body-centricity and reconnect with your expanded levels of awareness to see how the dots connect

 

How TGI Works

HOLOGRAPHIC OVERLAYS: By elevating your emotional state to a sustained level, your mind/body is so objective that it is unable to know the difference between its experience in real life versus the experience it is currently having in the reality of the elevated emotional state via thought alone. Your body/mind actually believes it is living in that thought created new reality environment.

HEALING REPEATING PATTERNS
Visualizations that call in your inner child where you are nurturing and caring for him/her, reminding your inner child that they are now safe, will melt obstacles between you and love/success exponentially. Your blocks often negatively affect life choice outcomes. Blocks that stem from a core belief that says, for example: "Love has conditions and is blocked from me" will be dissolved. This belief comes from your inner child so working with your inner child giving them the love and safety needed; and then repeating patterns will cease.
