Brewing the Perfect Cup of Zen Coffee

A few months ago, the New York Times published a meditation from my book, Zen Coffee... How to Be Mindful While Making Coffee.

Brewing the perfect cup of Zen Coffee is as easy as being with the essence of your inner self, just like the ethereal steam rising from your coffee.

The Zen Zone


Are you in the Zen zone? Being in the zone means you're totally in tune with whatever you're doing, whether it's drinking coffee, simply breathing, admiring a beautiful flower, cleaning your house, meditating, enjoying a sunrise, swimming at the beach, jogging, or anything else you do.

The nature of Zen is in harmony with everything and everything is in harmony with Zen. You can be in the Zen zone in every moment. Simply allow yourself to flow into whatever you're doing with your full focus of awareness.
