Morning Coffee Meditation

For those of you who cherish that glorious first cup of coffee in the morning, I have some very good news. I propose a meditation that blends perfectly with your routine. While these two might not seem to go together, a closer look reveals that both coffee and meditation can help you to sit quietly, fill your senses, and contemplate nature. In this way they complement each other surprisingly well.

As you’ll see, this practice works best with organic coffee, decaf or regular, from small farms or plantations. The magic starts right when you begin to brew the coffee, when that amazing aroma wafts up into the air, signaling that your day has begun. Warm your mug by pouring a touch of hot water into it, waiting a moment, then pouring it out. Slowly fill your mug with freshly brewed coffee, then bring it with you as you settle into your favorite seat. Cup the mug in your hands and feel the warmth, taking a moment to savor the aroma again. Wait with expectation as it cools off enough to drink, then enjoy that first sip with deep appreciation.

Carefully holding on to the mug so you don’t spill en route, let your mind travel to lush, green, subtropical coffee-growing mountains. Picture in your mind’s eye row upon row of green-leafed coffee bushes, adorned with bright red coffee beans. This is farm country, timeless, with just a couple of traditional clay-roofed farmhouses and a dirt road.

Now picture the gently sloping sides of a majestic mountain rising in the distance. As you breathe in, imagine that you can embody the mountain, absorbing its strength and solid mass. The mountain helps you feel grounded to the earth, and it is an image you can carry with you throughout the day.

As you sip your coffee, take a moment to appreciate the organic farmers who tended the coffee plants with care and the roasters who skillfully brought out the flavor of the beans. Allow yourself to feel content that you are supporting organic farming, helping to protect the farms and the farmers. As you continue to drink your coffee, take satisfaction from connecting with the people who create it and the places where it originates, right down to the fertile soil.

As your thoughts return to where you are, you may find that the inviting aroma of coffee has spread throughout the house. If there are other people around, you may have a moment to connect with them over coffee and spread the feeling of contentment from your meditation. If you work at home, this meditation is a nice way to feel a sense of connection with the outside world right from the start of your day.

What if you don’t make coffee at home, but grab a coffee on the way to work instead? Even if you are in a rush, you can still do this meditation on the train, bus, or subway, making sure to keep a good grip on your coffee container.
