Summary

Be guided in a 10-minute Imperfection Meditation. Imperfection is an important concept in the Japanese Tea Ceremony. By request, I play the music a little longer in this meditation, however, the meditation portion 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 a breathing technique for purity. You can focus on your chakras 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 the final episode of a 6 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 through a meditation focused on humility and your chakras.
0:15.4	And this is episode 419.
0:22.9	Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:26.5	This is Mary Meckley and I congratulate you for showing up for yourself midweek.
0:33.9	If you're listening to these meditations in order, this is a Thursday, and we're going to do a chakras meditation on humility.
0:42.3	And we're following the theme of the Japanese tea ceremony with the book Tea Life, Tea Mind, one of my all-time favorite books by Soshitsu Sin the 15th.
1:07.0	And he is the Grand Tea Master in Japan, and his family has taught tea and carried on the tradition of tea for centuries there. So you are partaking in the foundational principles of the Japanese tea ceremony this week.
1:14.6	Now, there are really four principles of the Japanese tea ceremony, which we've already covered in the past four days.
1:23.6	They are harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility.
1:28.3	Well, there are a few other principles that go along with the Japanese tea ceremony as well,
1:35.3	and you'll be exploring those throughout the rest of this week.
1:39.3	But probably there's not a principle that is more important in my thinking than humility.
1:51.8	Because when you have humility, you can be open to everything around you because you don't
2:00.6	feel like you're above learning something new
2:04.1	and you also don't feel like you're beneath it.
2:06.5	You don't feel like you're not worth it that, you know, something's too good for you.
2:13.0	So when you're humble, you have humility, you honor and respect the place you're in.
2:22.0	Whether you're feeling great or whether you're feeling not so great.
2:26.5	You honor that.
2:29.3	And so to me, humility is your raw, true self.
2:33.9	And that's the part of you that you explore and you reach when you meditate.
2:41.0	These 10-minute meditations are a challenge for me to do.
