Wondering how caffeine and calm, poured into the same coffee cup, can help you mindfully meditate? This blog offers a bit of Zen philosophy and shows how you can bring your inner nature into all your everyday experiences — to mindfully meditate through the ups and downs of life.

Zen Coffee Breather


Hold your steaming mug of coffee in both hands and deeply breathe in the aroma of coffee. Feel the essence of the aroma in your mind. Breathe out the essence of your coffee.

Deeply breathe in the ethereal essence of you. Feel your Zen nature within you. Breathe out the ethereal essence of your spirit, allowing it to permeate everything around you and within you.

There's No Time Like the Present


I've always liked the phrase, "There's no time like the present." It reminds me that in every moment, we have a new beginning, and that the present moment is always a gift. 

We always have an ever-present choice to tune into our spiritual essence, to tune into our Zen nature, to take the present moment to mindfully meditate. 

I like that I can take any moment I wish and turn it into a Zen coffee moment.

I wish for you many "no time like the present" moments to be present -- with or without coffee.
