Last week I was given Emma's ritual, making green tea. We talked about the process of fetching the mug, boiling the kettle, getting the tea bag and reading the label, filling the mug with a dash of cold water and dunking the tea bag. Making tea makes her feel calm, comfortable, warm and fuzzy. 
Some of the qualities she associated with her ritual were 

  • increase in temperature, concentration of tea and space
  • contrast hot/cold and surfaces smooth and shiny/rough and delicate
  • the fluidity of water and its spontaneity
  • calmness as opposed to business
