1
This is a short guided meditation to help us to enjoy our tea or our coffee in mindfulness.
2
Find a quiet place to sit with your coffee or your tea.
3
and put it down in front of you or beside you.
4
Take a deep in -breath and let it out slowly.
5
feeling your shoulders drop as the air leaves your nostrils.
6
Take three long in -breaths and out -breaths like that.
7
Now allow your breathing to come in and out naturally, but pay attention to the sensation of the breath coming in and out.
8
from the nostrils, down to the belly which rises with the in -breath, feel the belly falling with the out breath,
9
and feel the air leaving the nostrils.
10
Pay attention to any sound the air may be making as it comes in and out.
11
And as distracting thoughts come up, Just...
12
gently recognize them.
13
and then bring your attention back to your breath.
14
without any judgment or irritation.
15
Continue to breathe in and out mindfully.
16
Now gently reach out with both hands, paying attention to every movement of your hands, arms, and your whole body.
17
and pick up your cup of tea or coffee.
18
Hold the cup gently in your two hands, and feel the warmth of the liquid within penetrating into your hands.
19
Be aware for a moment of this warmth.
20
and where it has come from.
21
of all the transformations of energy that were made to bring you this warmth.
22
Slowly bring the cup up to your face.
23
and just inhale the aroma of the tea or the coffee.
24
Enjoy the fragrance of it.
25
Savor it, and think for a moment about where the beans, or the tea leaves, or the fragrant herbs were grown.
26
In what climate?
27
at what altitude, and so on.
28
maintaining your awareness of the in -breath, and the out -breath.
29
Take a sip of your tea or coffee and let it linger for a moment in your mouth.
30
This water was once a cloud in the sky, and it fell as rain and flowed down through creeks and streams and rivers.
31
to be collected in a reservoir, or it filtered down through the deep rocks and then bubbled up as a spring.
32
Right now you are drinking A cloud.
33
Life is beautiful.
34
Life is poetry.
35
And when you see the cloud in your tea, or your coffee.
36
you also become a poet.
37
You may like to become aware of all the causes and conditions that have brought you this cup of tea or coffee.
38
including the clouds, the rain, The sun.
39
The wind and the whole planet Earth.
40
as well as the labor of the farmers.
41
the harvesting, the roasting, the the packaging, the transportation, the marketing, and the brewing of the cup of tea or coffee that is now in your hands.
42
The whole cosmos has come together to bring you this cup of tea, or coffee.
43
Bis kapp.
44
In your two hands is a gift from the whole cosmos, It is an ambassador from the cosmos.
45
inviting you to wake up.
46
and live deeply this, present moment.
47
As you continue to enjoy your tea or coffee, Take a moment from time to time just to breathe in and out.
48
fully aware of the movement and the sensations of your breath.
49
Every breath taken in mindfulness like that strengthens the energy of mindfulness in our consciousness.
50
And this in turn allows us to look more deeply into what is happening in the present moment.
51
What is happening in this moment is that you are drinking a cup of tea Or coffee.
52
If you drink in mindfulness, fully aware of all the sensations and feelings arising in the moment, then that is mindfulness of drinking.
53
You can apply this kind of awareness to any act throughout your day.
54
and you may make the discovery.
55
that mindfulness is a source of happiness.
56
please enjoy drinking your cloud.
57
Thank you.
この動画で話す練習をする理由は？
「コーヒーや紅茶の瞑想」は、私たちがマインドフルネスを実践しながら日常生活の中で英語を学ぶための絶好の機会を提供します。この動画を用いて話す練習をすることで、心を落ち着けながら、リラックスした状態で英語を話せるようになります。さらに、「英語シャドーイング」を行うことで、発音やリズム、イントネーションを身につけることが可能です。特に、特定の感情やアイデアを表現する際に役立ちます。英語スピーキング練習を通じて、自信を持ってコミュニケーションを取る力が養われます。
文法と表現の文脈
- 感覚を重視する表現:「息が入るとき、腹が膨らむ」を使って、呼吸の感覚を強調しています。この表現は体の感覚を意識させるので、英語の会話でも非常に重要です。
- 過去を振り返る際の構文:「この水はかつて雲だった」と表現し、過去の出来事を振り返ることで、相手に情景を思い描かせます。これにより、豊かな表現力を身につけることができます。
- 感謝の気持ちを表す:「宇宙からの贈り物」と言うことで、感謝の表現を英語で学ぶ機会になります。このような表現は、フォーマルやカジュアルな会話の両方で使えます。
一般的な発音の罠
この動画には、いくつかの発音のトラップがあります。特に「マインドフルネス」や「アロマ」のような言葉は、正しいアクセントつけが難しいポイントです。また、「ぬくもり」を表現する際のイントネーションにも注意が必要です。これらの単語を正しく発音することで、より流暢な英語スピーキングが可能になります。ところで、発音を練習する際は、「shadow speak」としてシャドーイングを活用することをお勧めします。この技術により、音声の流れやリズムを捉えることができ、IELTSスピーキング対策にも効果的です。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
