I remember an episode of Ally McBeal where Ally demonstrates for one of her colleagues how to appreciate her morning cappuccino or latte. I think of it often as I take the fist sip of my morning beverage and enjoy the physical sensations from this first sip.
I heard a teacher once say “may all sentient beings experience this”
I think of that too when I enjoy my first sip.
In gratitude articles, a common thread is about being more aware of the things that bring pleasurable sensations through the senses…
I am grateful for this wonderful first sip, for the creaminess, the warmth, the deliciousness. Thank you body for this wonderful experience!
