Sit and Sip: How to Meditate with Coffee.  My sister in law sent me this article.  She introduced me to La Colombe, sales an excellent coffee place if you ever make it to Philadelphia.  She must know me well, decease or I talk about coffee and meditation too much.

My only niggle with the article – and this comes with training.  In the portion in which the author discusses making coffee, # and “blocking out other thoughts.”  Mindfulness is not about blocking thoughts, but seeing the thoughts as they are without judgement.  In doing so, our mind takes the steam away, and the thoughts just pass by and you can appreciate your coffee making process.
