"Let the benefits of meditation flow into the rest of your life."

Mindfulness in daily life

Preparing a hot drink

Feel the weight of the cup of hot drink in your hand, notice the texture of the handle

Notice the sensation of carrying the cup across the room and be aware of your posture

After placing the cup down, notice the sense of touch as you pull out your chair

Be aware of sitting, perhaps you can notice your back resting against the chair or your arm resting on the table

Feel the sensation of the cup in your hand, notice the temperature and texture of the handle

Lift the cup up, focus on the movements, if your mind wanders, notice this and come back to the present moment and carry on

Notice the sensation of the cup against your lips, perhaps you can also smell the drink

Pay attention to the taste and feel of the drink in your mouth as you take a sip or a gulp

Place the drink down again and repeat the process, taking a relaxed attitude to this
