Full Flower Moon in Scorpio & Beltane Virtual #BYOT Tea Ceremony

We usher in the joyous new beginnings with the coming of Beltane, and also, of course, celebrate the Full Moon in Scorpio. 

Beltane marks the dance in which Mother Gaia is stepping one toe out of the Spring Equinox (but still quite not completely out yet) and one toe in Summer Solstice. This is a potent time observed by the Wiccans and Gaelics in Scotland when there would be a Fire Festival on Calton-Hill in Edinburgh. We shall steep in this magical aura with Tea Spirit, and weave the moon magic of Scorpio over our manifestations with a peaceful mind and grateful heart. 

Scorpio is a water sign. Cool, calm, mysterious and incredibly sexual, the Divine Feminine energetics can be tapped into through meditation. We feel into our physicality through the moving Qi by drinking Tea mindfully in reverent silence, and honour the stars and the Universe for the abundance that is blossoming all around us (with our eyes, we can see flowers in bloom; in our vortex, the belief that abundance is at our core). 

 Social Distancing Update:  Now, as we adjust to these winds of change, we look at serving Tea virtually, instilling stillness and presence of mind across the digital waves. You can still participate by simply finding a quiet corner and sitting in silence with me during the tea ceremony. What you need:  1. Go on Instagram account @Liyinglimmm or Facebook page When Still Waters Speak  2. A bowl or cup is fine too. Prepare a flask or kettle of hot water.   If you have no loose leaf teas around, simply pour this steaming hot water into the bowl/cup and drink in tandem with me.  3. As you sit in silence you begin to become conscious of the Qi the heat is catalysing within you. Continue to sip on the water/tea, and begin to sink into this meditative silence. The more often we partake in ceremony, the easier we find it to sink into meditation and slowly, this meditative pace and appreciation for the simplest things in life will seep into your daily lives.  After the live session, I will be opening the floor to reflections, questions, and of course, a chat. The bowls, as they come and go during the tea ceremony, is a symbolic mandala of our connection - as we sit together we drop all egos and identities are simply being ourselves, with the conscious awareness that we are also all individuals who will eventually leave this ceremony to go on with our lives. In this moment, it is my honour to sit and connect us all. In this moment that is all that matters - this very moment.   

This ceremony is free for all.
