How to Read Tea Leaves
Step
3: Sip tea while you find your focus.
Once
your tea is cool enough, begin sipping. Leaves may be floating, so do
the best you can to avoid consuming too many. If you are right-handed,
lift your cup with your left. If left-handed, drink with your right. If
ambidextrous, reach for your cup, stop, and then use the other hand.
Now
that you are quiet and relaxed, identify the issue foremost in your mind.
In meditation practice, one attempts to empty the mind -- blocking out
all thoughts. As you attempt to think of nothing in particular, is there
a stubborn thought that keeps returning to your attention? If so, that
is the subject of this reading. Focus on that thought.
If
nothing in particular comes to mind, then this will be a general tea leaf
reading. Focus on your breath and the taste of the tea.
Leave
a small amount of tea at the bottom of your cup.
