Japanese Tea Ceremony: Yobanashi (A night time tea ceremony)

This is self-training. It is so meditative. Chado practices are a personal barometer. One day you can perform the tea-making procedure well without any preparation, another day, it’s hard to concentrate and easy to get distracted by random thoughts. This is a healthy thing. People often feel anxious or down unconsciously and these feelings act as an alert. Once you are aware of your condition, you can observe it from the outside and make adjustments. Chado also teaches us how to enjoy learning and how to improve our perceptiveness. Eventually, you will establish tranquility in yourself.
