Summary
Be guided in a 10-minute Appreciating Imperfection Walking Meditation. Honoring 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 doing a walking meditation to appreciate imperfection. 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 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.

| 0:37.4 | The meditations for this whole week have been shorter |
| 0:40.5 | meditations than I usually give because it's the summer months here in the northern |
| 0:46.4 | hemisphere where I live. And you're not likely to be quite as introspective as you are during |
| 0:53.6 | the winter or fall months. So if you're |
| 0:57.0 | in the southern hemisphere, then that is you. You are in the midst of the months where you are |
| 1:03.5 | more inclined to interiorize and spend deeper, longer meditations. Well, today you're going to be guided in a shorter meditation, |
