See how much pleasure you can take in with the aroma and the taste. Hold the liquid for a moment in your mouth. Let it roll around your mouth. Hold the liquid for a moment in your mouth. Let it roll around your tongue before swallowing. As you drink, Notice the sensations of gratitude in your body and heart. Give yourself great leisure. Sip and pause.

Receiving from life, From the vastness of the atmosphere, That quality of energy you need for today. Surrender to the sensations as your body opens to be filled with this essence.
