Summary

Be guided in a 10-minute Harmony meditation for more peace, energy and clarity. By request, I play the music a little longer in this meditation so you will see that it actually goes longer than 10-minutes, however, the meditation is 10-minutes. Be guided using meditation techniques customized for the Japanese Tea Ceremony as shared in the book, "Tea Life, Tea Mind," by Soshitsu Sen XV. This is a meditation using an affirmation to respect yourself. You can repeat this affirmation when you aren't necessarily in your private meditation space. Do the meditation standing, seating, walking -- whenever you most need to relax. In this week's meditation series you'll be taking your meditation ritual on the road, into your day-to-day life as you explore the ancient art of chado, otherwise known as the Japanese Tea Ceremony. This is Part 2 of a 7-part meditation series of 10-Minute Tea Life, Tea Mind Meditations, Episodes 414-420. As always, all the meditation techniques used in this Meditation Series can be found at www.SipandOm.com. There you'll find an entire library of meditations. While you're there be sure to join the free 100 Day Meditation Quest. Head over to pick up your Meditation Quest Play Book to get started. Music composed by Greg Keller, and also by Christopher Lloyd Clark licensed by RoyaltyFreeMusic.com.

0:00.0	You're listening to the Daily Meditation Podcast, and in today's episode, you're going to be guided
0:06.9	using a powerful affirmation to respect yourself, and this is episode 415.
0:18.1	Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:21.6	This is Mary Meckley and I want to congratulate you for giving yourself this time to connect to the best part of who you are.
0:35.6	I know there are so many other things you could be doing right now,
0:40.2	but here you are focused on yourself. And that's going to lead us into today's meditation.
0:50.2	Today is a Monday, and every Monday we explore an affirmation and the affirmation is always
0:58.5	customized around the weekly theme.
1:01.7	Well the theme for this week that we just launched into yesterday is Tea Life, Tea Mind by Soshoshitsu Sin, the 15th, who is a grand tea master in Japan,
1:18.2	and his family has carried on the tradition of tea for hundreds of years in Japan. Now the tradition of tea in Japan is about 450 to 500 years old,
1:35.6	so it's been around quite a while in Japan. And I had the fortune to study the Japanese tea ceremony when I lived in Japan, and I lived there for
1:47.8	five years, and I loved driving through the crowded streets of Tokyo to my tea teacher's
1:57.9	house, and she had a traditional Zen type of garden and she had a wooden house
2:05.7	with a heavy tile roof and I was always worried that the roof was going to cave in because it was a
2:11.8	really old home and it had a traditional tea room in the home.
2:18.3	And the house just looked like it was going to cave in from this heavy tile roof.
2:24.3	Well, I also had the chance to study the tea ceremony in ancient buildings on the island of Okinawa,
2:32.3	which is the southernmost island, and it's very tropical there,
2:36.5	and I remember it would be so hot, so we'd have to go and carry the water to the little tea
2:42.7	room, because there wasn't any indoor plumbing in this old building. It was several
2:49.4	hundred years old, and we would use several hundred year old tea instruments
2:53.6	and it was pretty phenomenal to be able to do that. But in the summer there was no indoor
