pause for health

12 Nov

I went to a fabulous demo and workshop on Japanese Buddhist Temple Cuisine (shojin ryori) and the Temple tea ceremony led by Master Mari Fijii, and I have started my blog about it, only to succumb to awful headaches, so I’ve taken to my bed and frustratingly the blog will have to wait a little while.

I’ve been diagnosed with Cluster Headaches which apparently will last a week or two and then disappear for years before potentially coming back for another little cluster. They’re like migraines and the treatment really is plenty of rest and plenty of fluids (I’m drinking a lot of deep steamed sencha green tea which I de-caffeinate myself by discarding the first brew).

However, I’ll soon be fit and writing again, so keep looking out for my blog on this little known, rare gem called Temple Cuisine! I’ve also been reading two of Master Fijii’s cookery books and I’ll be sharing some of her ideas and recipes with you in future blogs.

Warmly,

Pei

tea and meditation at kyoto garden

Nine of us gathered with our own tea-sets in a silent & serene tea-sharing circle round the Kyoto Garden’s stunning lake. I spent a restorative, meditative 45 min at Holland Park enjoying a simple ritual of sharing tea with eight amazing people! Rain stayed away and the sun came out for last Sunday’s 1st open-air medTEAtation in beautiful Kyoto Garden Holland Park! The ducks, squirrels and tourists were curious & bemused as we sat in the park to brew our teas for medTEAtation. Holland Park medTEAtation went so smoothly, all were delighted, & we came back to Chaya Teahouse for more tea & chitchat.

t – video profile of a tea artisan

Profile of tea artisan Pei Wang, at teanamu chaya teahouse, explaining how he has made the sensual gong fu cha tea ritual central to his lifestyle. Brewing tea is pressing a pause button in a stressful life, taking a few minutes to be in the present, attend to the tea leaves ‘dancing’ in their tea pot and enjoy the calm, focused, meditative state that we need for social, emotional, physical, spiritual and mental wellbeing. Pei takes the tea ritual out into unlikely, busy, spaces: an unusual tea event in Trafalgar Square promoting mindfulness. Teanamu chaya teahouse is in Notting Hill, London (www.teanamu.com).

conjugal tea – Peranakan wedding tea ceremony

Peranakans are a mix of Malay & Chinese. I love their 12-day weddings, ‘nonya’ food & gorgeous costumes! For days before a peranakan wedding, rice flours are made, veg chopped, sambal fried. All the women folk get involved! Bridesmaids on the peranakan wedding night serve pig trotters, roast pork, pig’s kidney, heart, liver & tripe. Peranakan newlyweds ritually kneel & bow before their elders serving them a sweet ‘tea’ of Chinese red dates, longans etc. A Nonya bride must be serious, not show her excitement, while the groom’s friends try to force her to laugh! Recipe for Bak Wan Kepiting (crab and pork ball soup), a must have for traditional Peranakan wedding night.

connubial tea : a celebratory post about the Royal Wedding

Tea since Ming era integral to weddings: bride & groom ‘respectfully offer tea’ to guests/elders & perform 3 symbolic tea rituals (‘sancha’). Bride & groom eat date/lotusseed soup in setting-tea ritual to ‘stick together’ their hearts & drink ‘hehuan cha’ for life of conjugal bliss. On 3rd day of marriage new couple serve tea to wife’s parents & receive gifts including a cockerel and hen as pets (plus tea & jewellery!) Candied winter melon, candied persimmon or dried longans signify sweet, mellifluous marriage & red fruits are auspicious at weddings. Dropped teacups at wedding are very inauspicious. Good matchmaker immediately says luo di kai hua (hit the ground and blossom) to make it ok!

Chachan Yiwei 茶禅一味 (tea zen one flavour) is the motto of teahouses like teanamu Chaya, now open Sat/Sun 12-6. At our new Chaya teahouse, we’re using the Gongfu Cha ritual – it lends a Zen quality to our tea drinking. Fill the tea cup, empty the mind and getting out of your own way. Restoring the natural function of mindfulness, imagining swaying bamboo in a gentle breeze, tea-drinking for the soul! ‘Let our tea cup be an extension of our hand’: a touch of Zen mindfulness.

      So sorry to hear about this, I have come across these before, when I was researching migraines on the net, some time ago.
      So now you have a diagnosis, were they able to give any help on possible cause?
      🙁

      Feel better soon.
