S1 • #11 Cultivating A Beginner’s Mind with Tea •

  • Summary

  • Ever felt stuck in routine? Like you're moving through life on autopilot?

    In this episode of The Tea Mind Podcast, we explore the power of Shoshin, or Beginner’s Mind - a Zen Buddhist concept that invites us to approach life with curiosity, openness, and wonder.

    Shunryu Suzuki, the Zen master who introduced Shoshin to the West, famously said:“In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s, there are few.”

    What if your daily tea break could be a simple way to rediscover this mindset?

    In this episode, we’ll explore:

    * Why Beginner’s Mind matters in a world obsessed with certainty.

    * How letting go of assumptions can unlock creativity and joy.

    * A guided tea ritual to help you see, sip, and savour with fresh eyes.

    * Simple ways to bring Shoshin into your daily life.

    Every cup of tea is an opportunity to pause, reset, and rediscover the magic of not knowing.

    🎧 Grab a cup, take a breath, and join me for this mindful journey.
