How you start your week sets the tone for each day to come. It makes
a lot of sense to do whatever you can to up the joy quotient for
yourself and your loved ones. Jasmine tea is a delightful concoction
and can create an aura of bliss and conviviality. It is available at any
grocer or purveyor of organic goods but homegrown is even better.
Brew a cup of jasmine tea and let it cool. Add two parts lemonade
and drink the mixture with a good friend. Jasmine is a vine and
represents the intertwining of people. You will be more bonded to
anyone with whom you share this sweet ritual. If you grow a night-blooming jasmine vine outside your bedroom window, a heavenly
scent will also waft in that creates and enhances an atmosphere of
love in your home.
This is also a tonic that you can indulge in alone. I recommend
brewing up a batch every Monday, or “Moon Day,” to ensure that
each week is filled with joyfulness. As the jasmine tea steeps, pray:
On this Moon Day in this new week,
I call upon the spirits to guide joy to my door.
By this moon on this day, I call upon Ishtar and Celene, ladies fair
To show me the best way to live.
For this, I am grateful.
Blessed be the brew; blessed be me.
