Work with me to recover your body-spirit connection

Who's a perfectionist here? 🙋🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
It's been a lifelong coping mechanism for me, and out of the many things that have manifested out of this, was a 10-year long struggle with eating disorders. ⁣
⁣
Swinging from anorexia to BED to orthorexia and then going through the rigmarole all over again, every time I begin to look back on the place from which I came to be here today, I see perfectionism and high achiever written all over it. ⁣
⁣
Heartbreak and the need to be loved also contributed to my relapses. The deeply entrenched belief that if I was not (cue all adjectives imaginable) enough, I did not deserve to be loved or exist. ⁣
⁣
Even the road to recovery was filled with do-or-die moments. ⁣
⁣
I am finally in a place of heart-centred tranquillity, not because I found some meal plan. ⁣
⁣
I am here because I see now how disconnected I was from my body, how the way I had held onto some egoic perfection had completely entrapped me in my mind.⁣
⁣
The mind is not evil. ⁣
⁣
But as with yin and yang, nothing is separate. Mind, spirit and body all lead to the seat of our very own soul. When we begin to shift our awareness we can begin to heal and － more than just heal, I promise you, you will take the hand of the Universe and see this experience as a gift, not a predicament. ⁣

This may seem disjointed from Cha Dao, but the Way has healed and alchemised my relationship with my body and beyond.

There is a saying in Cha Dao (The Way of Tea): ichi go ichie. One encounter, one chance. We all come together in this space and share this Tea, and then we all part and go our own solitary way, each bearing Tea Spirit with us. In life, there will be times when we all feel helplessness, our knees sunk low and deep into the mud of consternation, lost to the wild abandoning winds. We all need guidance. We all seek advice and solicit for help in times when the shadows elongate. It is in this twilight zone that we often find profundity in a broken heart, the light that gets through the shards. We seek God, the Universe, our inner being, our highest self and thrive in our flow in concordance with the Universe, and this flow is the Dao － in the words of our teacher Laozi, "As the Dao leads, we follow." 

For centuries, Zen monks, taoists and shamans have relied on the Tea Spirit for their healing abilities and ancient wisdom. This is a practice that has been left in the dust of the past as Tea began to be grown and sold as a commodity. In this ritual Tea is honoured as plant medicine and Spirit through creating a sacred space in which our beings can sit in silence, turn inward and reconnect to our hearts, through Nature, through love and gratitude for the simple moments in life.

​

Tea ceremony will allow you to drop from your head into your heart, often times in the most unexpected ways. In this practice, we sit as love flows from our hearts into the bowls of tea, and it becomes simply something sacred to behold. The ordinary becomes extraordinary. Gratitude flows. Creativity unlocks.

​

We honour the ancient traditions, tea trees and earth, fire, water, mountains and rain, moon, stars and sun – nature's alchemy that is within us and yet, sadly forgotten in today's busy lives. In this soft gentle heart space, As the saying goes, the brewer defines the taste of the Tea that is served and the energy of a Tea Ceremony.

Called to serve by Tea Spirit

After a relationship breakdown, years of battling eating disorders and lack of self-love, LiYing first found her spiritual awakening in sound healing bowls, which has subsequently led her to a kundalini awakening and embracing a lifestyle steeped in daily meditation and yoga. When she found tea in Hong Kong through Fivelements, and began to serve in the lineage of Tea Sage Hut. Through Tea, she found that sitting in reverent silence with tea can take her meditation and manifestations to greater levels. It was inevitable – she answered the call of the Tea Spirit by devoting herself to the teachings of The Way of Tea, Cha Dao. Since then, she continues to absorb the teachings of various Tea teachers and masters, include Master Lin, tea master of Wu De based in Malaysia, as well as the teachings of the Dao and history of Tea Ceremonies in various cultures. LiYing has also come into the limitless space of working with various modalities – nevertheless, always leading with Tea – to nurture and cultivate love, poetry, presence and connection for spiritual freedom.
