About hand washing and lip washing from a previous course. I remember when my grandmother was regularly fasting; for her, it meant no food, no drink, the whole day. The maximum she allowed herself was to wash her lips, but not drink! So for me, it was very common to see my grandmother do exactly the same, like in the video, the instructor, when she explained the washing rituals before the Japanese praying places.

Matcha is the coffee alternative chosen by health-conscious, successful business people in New York. Learn how to quickly prepare matcha without using a bamboo whisk, and master a matcha break technique that incorporates elements of Zen and mindfulness to soothe the mind and relax the brain.

Description

In these uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic, are you finding yourself spending more time in front of your computer while working from home, struggling to switch between work and personal life, and feeling more easily fatigued both mentally and physically? Fatigue, stress, and decreased concentration can lead to reduced productivity at work and in household chores, and even careless mistakes.

Many people turn to coffee for caffeine during such times, but excessive consumption can lead to health problems.

This course focuses on matcha as an easy-to-prepare beverage that doesn't require a bamboo whisk.

Matcha offers surprisingly many health and beauty benefits that coffee lacks, making it a healthy energy drink alternative.

This guide will explain why matcha is a good alternative to coffee now, where to buy it, and other aspects that are easy for matcha beginners to understand and implement immediately.

We will also introduce practical methods for matcha breaks that anyone can easily replicate, incorporating elements of "mindfulness," which is being adopted by leading global companies, and "Zen," which has deep ties to the tea ceremony.

By occasionally substituting coffee with matcha and incorporating elements of Zen and mindfulness, you can take high-quality breaks, even for short periods, leading to increased concentration and productivity.

What you'll learn:

You'll understand the reasons for matcha's popularity overseas and its health benefits and effects.

You'll learn that matcha is a healthy energy drink alternative to coffee.

You'll learn how to easily enjoy matcha as a beverage without using a bamboo whisk.

You'll learn about different types of matcha, how to choose them, and things to keep in mind when buying them.

You'll learn a matcha relaxation method that incorporates elements of Zen and mindfulness to soothe your brain.

Are there any course requirements or prerequisites?

No prior knowledge or experience of matcha or tea ceremony, or specialized tea utensils such as bamboo whisks, is required.

You don't need to prepare anything before taking the course. You can learn about how to choose matcha and other things during the course, and then prepare anything you need as needed.

Who this course is for:

Those interested in improving concentration and productivity, or enhancing the quality of relaxation and rest.

Those concerned about excessive coffee consumption.

Those who want to incorporate matcha into their lives.

Those who want to reduce stress and create more peace of mind.
