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.
