This ritual that we're performing, to prepare a single bowl of tea, sometimes we can spend 15-30 minutes. The tea is prepared with objects that have just been spiritually purified.
once you get used to it and understand why you are doing those small particular movements, then you just do it naturally and start to look into yourself.
